No Manners

Public Transport comprises of all transport systems, which the passengers do not travel in their own vehicles. So when traveling on public transport…please be aware that there are many people traveling as well.

Every morning when taking the LRT to the nearest bus stop…I have to push my way in order to get out of the train…why…because the boarding commuters will crowd at the door waiting for it to open…but they are forgetting to let the alighting commuters get out of the train first. Really…what’s the rush…the train will not go before we alight…the train will also not go before they board. Why are they so anxious…there will not be any seats available cause all are taken.

This evening…I was at Yishun MRT…waiting to board the train to meet my mate in Toa Payoh. Its peak hour and many people will alight the train at Yishun station…this young chap…in bermudas and tees…wanting to board the train…he just stood in the middle of the door while passenger alight. He was blocking and didn’t he realize that? Could he be so deep in thoughts that he didn’t know what’s going on?

What are we becoming? Must there be courtesy campaign to remind us of courtesy? Could we be more mindful? Where is the basic manner?
