Empty Seat

Oh, this empty seat is for people to sit there including me. Or, this empty seat is for me and all my baggages?

It is still two thousand Rupiahs started around 5 AM untlil 7 AM. After that we have to pay three thousand and five hundred Rupiah.

Broke Down Busway

Nothing really special on Tuesday June 11, 2013.  Like any other day, I was fighting my way in so I can get a nice seat inside busway. Naturally, I thought good. I just sat there nicely and I would be at home within 45 minutes with traffic and so on. Right?

Rest Room at Bus Stop For Busway

Do you know what I hate the most when taking public transportation? Nature Calls,

Why do I hate it? Because for the next agonizing minutes (which seems only last few seconds when I was trying to sleep) I have to stand with pain plastered all over my face. Praying that I have a seat so it can ease the pain. Praying I could just sit on the floor to reduce the pain. Praying that the public transportation will not meet any troubles like engine problem. And so on. You are torn between just want to jump from the bus and release the pain. But with consequences like late to go to the office, schools, appointment, etc. And if you are taking busway, you can't just jump out from the bus. You have to stop at the located bus stop. Okay, not recommended to jump from the bus. Mostly we were pushed out from the bus by driver's assistant.
