MRt oR bUs

Are you a bus or MRT person?

I'm an MRT convert haha. Why do I say so?

For the past 10 years or so and through my academic years, I am a frequent bus rider taking a 10 mins to the longest an hr to my schools frm pri to sec to jc to uni. I enjoy bus rides along with my trusty walkman to discman to mp3 player. Listening to my fave songs as the bus roll along the roads to my destination. Although a bus journey frm amk to clementi is much longer compared to taking the train but I had always faithfully took it in favour.

But I could never read on a bus coz I'll end up feeling nauseous when I reached my stop hence doing my pre-exam readings or homework on the bus is a no-no unless I want to puke.

But as I graduated and proceeded to move on to working life, I seem to discover the joy of a speedy train ride home sans the jams encountered on buses. Time seems to be never enough and I am now relying on trains to speedily send me home. Take for an instance a bus ride during the peak hour from my work place to home will probably take up to 40mins but if I take the train I can shave off the half the time to home. Which will I choose? The train of course unless I really have tons of time to spare and enjoy getting caught in a jam will I take the bus home.

I used to loathe taking trains coz I feel ultra uncomfy staring the passenger sitting across me (unlike buses where I can just stare hard at the head of the person infront of me or daze at the scenery outside) and the black dark tunnels the train need to pass through. I still loathe the staring part but have progressed to tolerating it.

Bus rides are now only reserved when I have luxury of time (which is like so rare) or i just need to get within my estate if not the train has taken it's place as my trusty transport ride home and to work :)
