As usual, I took the train today. Afterall,the most efficient transport is still the train. Despite the recent discussions about how efficient the train system is.
I was discussing this issue days ago and a Scotland PR commented:" You guys never been to London? Train delays are commons, even strikes. Nobody ask why you are late because they know the obvious reason. And the public transport here is so affordable."
Actually, to some senses, it is true. I am not in anyway protective of any organisations. They indeed need to buck up their maintenance else our competitive edge may be affected. Imagine everybody late for work, how competitive can you get?
Talking about trains, I had a recent encounter. The area near the train door is always packed but the area in the center is indeed so comfortable. You don't feel like you are sardines.
So I tried to move inwards. Obviously, the area in the middle can house more than 2 rows of loosely standing passengers. And then I was welcome with a f*** word from a lady who seems educated and an executive. If you don't move in and want others to not move in, how can others board the train? So selfish. Yes that is because you board the trains from the earlier station.
Ms(with brown bag and so busy with your smartphone.), if you cannot tolerate, take a taxi to work. And please do not work in Japan. Not fit do.
