My Observation on People Using Public Transport

Are people just blind, ignorant or simply
dumb? 

From my choice of words, you can tell I'm actually very piss off. There are lots of empty standing spaces in the centre of the bus and they will actually stand + stare + chat away happily at the first row of seat of the bus! All of this happens while looking at the 7-8 'poor' people standing at the entrance/step of the bus. Don't they have some 'guilt' that they are blocking traffic and causing others to be in danger of flying out of the bus when the door opens? 

Plus, they are holding on to their work tags... And both of them are from the same company... A government body some more! You can tell how tempted I was to reveal the company name... But I wouldn't want to humiliate the company for the lack of civic-mindedness in their staffs. What a shame! 

Just thinking... Is it fair for public to blame the company for the inappropriate behavior of their staffs? Like how the school is to take responsibility of their student misconduct in public? Or parents for their child? But, we are adults... Supposedly mature enough to make sane and wise decision? 

Another thing... Queuing for the LRT... Gosh!!! Lines were painted on the floor not just to indicate where the doors will open, but also to show us where to queue! How are people going to go out if there are people trying to push in at the same time? Aren't all that common sense? Perhaps it's not that common after all... If you tell me, "you don't know", you are a LIAR!!! A big fat liar! You can see the big yellow box about 1 meter square in size to indicate where the door will open, but you can't see the red footprints look-a-like next to it? Liars, liars, pants on fire!

That's not all... On the bus earlier in the morning, a group of Indian aunties was shouting loudly at one another few rows apart in the bus! Don't understand what were they arguing about... But it was LOUD!!!! And I would say embarrassing. The bus is a 'public' transport for a reason... Everyone that wants to use it can use it. Shouldn't everyone choosing to use the 'public' transport be given equal chance to enjoy a peaceful journey? And shouldn't all 'personal' matters be settled in 'personal' space instead of the 'public' space? 

Many would quickly point fingers at our education system... But, didn't all of us go through Pendidikan Moral or Ugama classes? And I'm sure a whole lot of people pass those papers in school. What happen then? 'I don't care' attitude? Or we need 'punishments' to make it happen? In the end, it's our (taxpayers) money put to waste if government has to employ more police to make sure the public practice civic-mindedness. And, at the same time, we are the one blaming our government for reducing subsidy of various stuffs! 

Sounds ridiculous when put down in words... It's really everyone doing their part, and it will reduce a whole lot of social ills.
