Later the topic diverted towards some hilarious events (bus rides of course!) Say for example while standing along the bus aisle and when sudden brakes are applied (happens more often) the poor passenger is forced to run forward (thanks to Newton's Law). Talk about casualties!!! Traveling in a bus requires stamina (u gotta run to catch it) flexibility (for navigating thru a thick crowd) and a sharp memory to collect the remaining change of the bus fare from the dubious bus conductor! So, you looking for some excitement and cheap thrills, alight this scrap metal...

Cheap Thrills!!!
Over lunch with my colleagues, the topic we gradually strayed upon were the bus rides and the kind of people encountered. Out poured several comments about how unsafe these bus rides have become. More so, the female colleagues lamented about unhealthy encounters they have had with male co-passengers. Everything was said in good humor with every female colleague giving their innovative method of shooing these miscreants, if I could say so.
