on public rail
This is really sneaky. i was at orchard mrt trying to get home at peak hour, and judging that i do not have the mettle to fight the friday crowd i thought i'll take a nice slow ride back on bus 174. So i went to the same bus stop behind the mrt station, but shit, the bus that arrived wasn't my usual 174.
There was that insidious "e" behind the numerals.
(that means gotta pay more)
OKie!!!At first i was stupid enough to believe (one time too many) that the express service would be somehow faster than the normal 174 right. I mean you don't call something "express" for nothing. Either i'm dellusional or i'm just dumb. The damn bus took almost the exact same route as the normal service! I turned into Holland rd instead of the normal bukit timah stretch but trust me, the time both routes took were the SAME. And plus the traffic, i could swear that i got home even later than if i would have taken the normal service. damn, somemore gotta pay more. It's like SBS came up with this i-think-we-are-so-smart-to-hoodwink-the-stooopid-public-into-pay-more plan by changing normal service buses into express ones without actually reducing the physical amount of travelling time. totally sucks man.
you know next time don't trust express to mean express man. It takes like 1+ hours to get from suntec city to boon lay on bus 502 and it only takes 1/2 hr on the train fr city hall. Singapore can be really small but getting around is a real bitch on the buses that are forever taking extra turns. that's wat you get for cheap transport man.
and digress a little. the other day a guy sitting opposite me on the train, which was real packed, suddenly fished out a thermometer and proceeded to take his own temperature!!!!! argh the world is full of wierd people. He must have had that thing sticking out of his mouth for a full 10 minutes (or wat seems like to me cos it was to obtuse i can't stop looking) and there were so many people around. Hey brother cannot wait till you get to the hospital issit. faint!
the train is a pretty good place to observe socially retarded behavior if you realised, next time don't sleep, wear a pair of sunglasses and start spying, real entertaining stuff man.
