Move Aside for a Better Ride

Nuffnang was running this competition called “Make It Right For A Better Ride” although I didn’t enter the competition I thought i’d just write about commuters and how things could be better… I’m a serial complainer and a cereal complainer yo.

My biggest pet hate: Those aunties that crowd the door while you are trying to get out of the train. EH HELLO?! If you let me off I, and everyone else, would be able to get out of the train and let you on. Why the need to push? Is it because you are afraid the train will leave you behind or do you just really need to sit in that reserved seating?

Seriously, whenever I get off the train it’s like a rugby team full of aunties is ready to board !

 

Whenever I have the courage I usually just stand in the doorway until they move out of my way… or yell… whatever it is that I’m feeling at the time.

This sort of behaviour has to stop. Just let us out of the train. It isn’t that hard.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who finds it incredibly annoying…

It seems that everyone has their own MRT pet hates.

If we all just shared them I’m sure that word will get around that it isn’t socially acceptable. Don’t keep it to yourself! Share your frustrations with your friends, with your dog – WITH EVERYONE!

@lfc_lxy says she hates assholes who enjoy a pole dance on the MRT.

“Assholes leaning on the poles when it’s freaking packed & refraining other commuters from holding on to em!”

@anameizing gets annoyed at back pushers! Damn those back pushers!

“people that are so eager to get off the train at the upcoming stop and shove you aside when you’re obv getting off too”

@joietan also cannot tahan the kiasu aunties!

“AUNTIES WHO SHOVE YOU”

@Oszkid thinks that an armpit to the face stinks!

“@nicshields armpit hair in your face!”

 

and finally – My favourite of all of them from @anameizing:

“also those who stand right in front of the door when the train stops and they arent getting off wtf”

 


*Don’t get me wrong! I love the MRT, I just detest rude people.

Take a ride with me on MRT

There is nothing quite like the MRT. Well, there is… but lets just roll with this.

After spending a couple of years on Perth’s “World Class Transport” – Transperth I nearly went insane!

Never fear, this is something different, this is incredible.

It is based on Hong Kong’s successful transit system and quite frankly this is what I’d call “World Class Transport” unlike that of Perth’s abysmal carriage system.

Anyway, I’m not going to send you to sleep with my talk of trains. I just love the MRT. There is a lot of people who detest it but i’m more than certain that they haven’t had to take a train in India or even worse – Perth!

too many people
There is a lot of people using the mrt but that just makes everything more exciting and there is safety in numbers, especially travelling at night!

ezlink
You can pay your fare via the “ezlink” card…. cool, yeah not really, what is cool is that you can pay for nearly everything else with your ezlink card, cool? Yeah!

mrt
The carriage literally goes for ages! It’s cool to watch it go round the bend and then down a straight path! Like a giant metal snake!

commuter
This guy was sleeping after a long day at work… I hope. If not he is just sleeping. Or maybe his eyes are just closed.
