One of my unforgettable experience inside the bus happened today. We usually take a bus in the Ortigas Terminal. We really don't like riding in an ordinary bus, one of the reasons why we go to Ortigas Bus Terminal. No ordinary buses allowed. Sometimes, we choose what bus to ride - Jayross, Keller, or Malanday buses. These buses are really clean and sometimes new. Unfortunately, we rode on a V-1 bus today. It looks old. Maybe five years older and I felt insects are crawling everywhere. As we approached Crossing, the MMDA (Metro Manila Development Agency) traffic agent talked to the bus driver and asked for his licensed. We knew already that this was gonna happen because the bus really stayed long on the terminal waiting for passengers. The passengers inside the bus were also complaining about the long stay of it in the lane. For some reason that we didn't know, the driver wouldn't give his license to the traffic agent. The conversation between the driver and the traffic agent went long. The next thing we know is that they were shouting at each other. Many passengers were shouting "Bigay mo na kasi lisensya mo" (Just give your license). You can hear alot of complains inside the bus. Its like I'm inside a cockpit. On or about fifteen minutes later, the traffic agent left. Maybe he will just report the driver to their office. Luckily for everyone, there was no traffic so we still got home early.
I took a picture of the conductor but I pity him. He seems nice. Who I hate is the driver who didn't gave his license - the reason why we stayed long. I wish he will be suspended. He's got to learn a lesson.
Rules are meant to be obeyed. No one is above the law. But why do these kind of drivers intentionally broke traffic laws then get mad when caught? Sigh. I know they have family too but do they have to break the law just to feed their family?
