Unforgettable Experience Taking Public Transportation

[CVT]

Not me pero isang binata na nakasabit sa estribo ng jeep, habang nakahinto yung jeep natanggal yung estribo na hawak nya, dahil puro kalawang na yung connection ng welding.
Tawa lang yung lalaki, I don't think he realized that the situation would be a lot different kung natanggal yung estribo habang umaandar yung sasakyan.

This just reminded me of my past experience as a student riding the Saulog Transit (bus) public transport with my tropa from other schools, from Zapote to Lawton (I usually get off at Quirino). There were a couple of our friends who would ride on the estribo as normally the bus would be packed to its brim....

With the bus, making a hard left in an intersection (at Tambo, Paranaque),- the handle gave in due to rust and our two friends were thrown off the bus and literally rolled on the ground. Everybody was shouting for the driver to stop as we were not sure if our friends were okay. Lo and behold,- both came running back to us, with one of them still carrying the handle.... Both jumped in and they gave the (fallen) handle to the bus assistant.... They just dusted off their clothes....We were clapping and laughing out loud !!!

train sa japan, may babaeng pumasok na parang lasing o emotionally/mentally disturbed. humiga dun sa mga upuan at ipinatong pa ung paa dun sa isang pasahero.

Ako naman, I was riding a train in Japan during the rush hour.
Tapos bigla na lang akong may narinig na babaeg sumigaw at the other end of the train, "P*t*ng *na mo! Manghihipo ka! <sampal sound> Anong akala mo sa akin? Bar girl!? Ha? Ipapa pulis kita! Lecheng *R%&$(&)(*&R*()T&R*()T&R*()T&R*()T&R()T*R&T*()R&T* ()R&" continuously for 10 minutes straight.

hehehe baka 1st time makasakay ng rush hour sa train ng japan.

dati galing kami shibuya pauwi na, as usual siksikan dun sa train. may matandang babae na nasa harap ko na mas maliit sa akin tapos sakto katapat nya ung train handle kung saan ako nahawak. nung una medyo conscious pa ko na wag tamaan ng siko ko ung ulo nya. after some time nung umaandar na at busy ako sa pakikipagkwentuhan, napansin ko na lang nakapatong na pala ung siko ko sa ulo nya :nono:, pero di sya nag-re-reklamo

sa FX. may sumakay na couple, yung girl sa 2nd row, yung guy sa 3rd row, katabi ko. they were arguing, a little loud, who should pay. the girl said the guy should pay kasi wala syang barya, yun din sabi ng guy, wala syang barya. hawak ng guy yung bag ni girl so binuksan nya, kinuha wallet saka humanap ng pambayad. after looking ang sabi ng guy "bakit wala na picture natin dito?". nagalit yung babae saying "bakit mo pinapakialaman yung gamit ko!". sakto, pumara na ko at bumaba. sa 2nd row, bumaba din yung girl. lumipat sa 3rd row sabay sampal sa guy. I was about 4 ft away, nadinig ko pa yung impact.

I usually enjoyed public transport. :D

If only for the convenience of having your own ride, ang saya din talaga mag-public transport. Especially sa jeep pag tag-ulan at matrapik. Sari-saring eksena makikita mo.

Yung experience na di ko makalimutan eh nung college pa ako sa uste. Nasa dulong upuan ako ng Marikina Transit (or was it Marikina Valley, or even DMTC yata. Hehe) katabi ko Paulinian. So napakainit kaya pawisang-pawisan na kami, wala naman akong hanky. So si girl paypay na, at hindi lang ako nasasamyuhan ng hangin, talagang me turn na pinapaypayan na rin ako talaga. Ayun, torpedo kasi kaya hanggang nakababa walang nangyari. Huhu.

fx din, medyo puno, 2 sa tabi ng driver, 2 sa gitna, at 3 sa likod. yung 2 sa gitna base sa kwentuhan nila eh model na lalaki or aspiring model at yung talent scout nyang bading.

may sasakay na isang babae, eh yung model na lalaki eh ni lock yung pinto sa gitna, nung binubuksan na nung sasakay na pasahero sa gitna hindi ni-unlock ni model, tinuro ni model sa likod, meaning dun sa likod pinasasakay yung pasahero, ayaw magpasakay sa gitna, feeling espesyal artista si kumag siguro, ayaw matabihan. anyway yung pasahero eh dahil di mabuksan yung pinto sa gitna, umalis nalang, nawalan ng pasahero si mamang driver.

eto namang si driver halata mong nainis at naging barumbado sa drive, pero tahimik ayaw magsalita, na intimidate siguro sa mahanging model. pero pagbaba ng model at nung bading saka nagpuputak si driver, nawalan daw sya ng pasahero.

during college days, papasok papuntang intramuros galing sa bahay. habang nasa bus medyo nakakatulog na, hindi ko pala nakuha yung baon ko na pera buti na lang may barya pa bulsa sakto sa pamasahe sa bus.

[KIANTOT]

College days din, eksena sa nasakayan kung patok na jeepney pauwi, nasa dulo ako mismo may nag aaway na babae sa harap, mahaba yung jeep kaya medyo nilingon ko pa yun pala yung isang babae asawa nung driver at yung isa eh girlfriend, talagang sigawan at sabunutan si gf sa tabi mismo ng driver ng bigla pala nag aabang si asawa natyempuhan umupo sa harap, lumipat na nga yung konduktor sa likod umupo na sa flooring dahil pati siya nahahampas, parang roller coaster yung jeep sa init ng ulo ng driver.

Hmmm....

The countless times I've walked rather than waited for a jeep to fill up... or because of traffic... or because I didn't want to waste money on a tricycle... (not that this was always a bad thing)

The time two ladies fought over line-cutting and I got hit on the head with an umbrella...

The time we tried to "push-start" a five ton bus on Quezon Avenue...

The time I jumped off a jeep (in High School) to get away from a touchy-feely drag queen...

The time I witnessed a conductor stab a drug addict...

The time I had to ride with my feet up on the seat back because the drunk behind me vomited all over the floor...

The time the "sabit" right beside me almost got his legs taken off by a jeepney with no brakes...

The time a ****ing drunk cop backed into our bus then demanded the driver pay him for damages...

The cockroaches. Oh, all the ****ing cockroaches...

Or the good times...

Racing Jeepneys on a bicycle.

Racing tricycles on foot. And winning.

The time we got a bump start from another jeep...

Taking a Jeepney anywhere in the province on vacation...

Open air bus to Baguio... sticking your head out the window at 120 km/h...

Elevated rail in Chicago...

Ooh. The Monorail.

Free "sitaw"... two kilos worth... because some provincial truck dropped a load in front of the bus...

Free Coca Cola on the highway... overturned truck...

Jumping jeeps in traffic in Quiapo (back when it was legal to "sabit")

Guitar on your back, hanging off the back end of an "Ikot" jeep. Feeling like an Ely Buendia song...

Being one of only four or five people on the bus at one in the morning, getting a sleeper seat all to yourself...

Being one of only four or five people on the bus, and getting a sleeper seat to yourself and your lady...

I wonder if I've done more than a million kilometers on public transport already? Very likely, yes.
