Thinking, What is 15F, M27 & 17E?
These are the government bus route numbers which I used to travel for a decade. The former two (15F & M27), I've been using this service around 8 years.
Recently I am started to use 17E to reach my office.
We can experience so many things, if we travel through bus yet some people don't like to wait.
Here are the few notable things I got,
1. Chit chat with co-passenger, Some really gave me wonderful time while travelling. Got some interesting life messages too.
Someone at 75 using the bus service and still doing the hard work to take care of their family (Spouse and one physically challenged son.) My perception towards the life changed after this wonderful interaction.
Another Scenario, Someone around 40 or something, boarded the bus after heavy drink. He was shouting on co-passengers, while boarding and one kid on the front seat got feared because of this. He created lots of trouble.
2. Carelessness and Laziness among the people.
Here in my country, even though the technology has developed on payment & billing, the amount that we need to pay for bus fare hasn't yet improved. Still following the traditional payment process of collecting cash.
Usually the bus fare comes under the weird number, like 13 INR, 17INR, 9INR. It's possible to give the exact coin change but 95% of the people give 20 INR cash note, 50 INR Cash note, some extremely lazy legends give even 100 INR and 500 INR.
So far I am having a box where I used to store coins and give exact change for my bus fare. I feel myself proud on this.
3. Couples above 60 travelling with full happiness on their face (Like face is the reflex of mind) I am seeing many young couples getting divorced for silly things.
Poor people travelling with full happiness and smile on their face though their attire shows them as poor but always rich by hearts.
I don't come under the poor category nor rich category but I can't smile like them. I used to think something each and every time while I am travelling. Like bills, career, work, pending tasks and so on... Now I am trying to change slowly.
Do you have any bus route numbers, that holds memories?
