Play fair with the fare

November 27th, 2008

Yesterday was the most tiring travel I have ever had. Well, that is from office to our house. I do not know what there was…could it be because it was the opening of Twilight? Nah…I guess no connection at all. There was completely no traffic but actually lack of available jeepney to ride. I decided to take short rides instead. When I reached Batasan~ the stop where there is supposedly lots of jeeps waiting going to our town` there was none! I decided to kill time at the market and look for my favorite vegetables. There were also clothes and slippers vendors. Much more, prated DVD sellers! That place is really busy. Anyways, besides jeepneys, there is also the tricycle station going to some towns. There is also one going to our place. Well, it had been quite long since I waited and I really wanted to go home thus I just took the tricycle ride. What was it with the driver? He was so fast, I am actually praying that we would not encounter any accident! It was a wide highway and he was racing against cars,jeeps,trucks and other tricycles! Maybe he wanted to go back immediately for more passengers? How about our safety? He even demanded for a higher fare because of the demand. That is one thing I do not like about some public transportation drivers. They take advantage whenever there is an opportunity. Why not play fair and just charge the normal fare? Anyways, after that ride, I sort of promised myself not to do it again. I thank the One Above that I came home safely. When I reached home, I sat at the dining table and eat! I was really tired. After that, I tried watching some TV and I did not know it but I woke up 8AM today.

    That ride sounded plain scary to me. I’m glad you made it home safely. Have a great day. :)
