For goodness sake! What is wrong with these bus drivers! It's bad enough that they drive down EDSA like they are the only vehicles on the road, what makes it worse is most of them are smoke belchers and it seems like all of them just LOOOOOOVE to lean on the horn.
Okay, I get it. They lean on the horn to get our attention. However, unless the horn sounds like "FTI", ""Alabang", or "Cubao", "Fairview", "Monumento", etc. I don't see the point of honking and honkng. It's not like we would be able to tell the honks apart, right? We tell them apart from the signs on their front windshield, not from honks.
How difficult is it for the bus drivers to understand? Is it a compulsion? Do they not care that they are breaking our ear drums?
As for the air pollution, is it really that expensive to have their oil changed or to have a tune up? It's the company that pays for it, I know, but I don't know why they can't do the responsible thing and make sure their vehicles are not smoke belchers.
These, more than any other, are the reasons why I would rather take the train.
 | You know, I was surprised when I started driving here in KL how silent the streets are. Nobody blows their horns. Apparently, to blow your horn except for an impending emergency is considered extremely rude here. Hay nako buti pa sila, disciplinado! |
 | Grrrr!!! Nakakainis nga busina ng busina! |
 | well, if only there are different types of beeps/honks, i'd prefer that.. you know, the ones which range from the discreet and short "beep beep" for "excuse me", to the loud and long honks for "WTF?" |
 | OMG. YES. Totally loved your rant. I HATE buses too. >_< Yay for the train! \^0^/ |
 | hi pen! i wonder what happened to the reply i posted on these thoughts of yours...i said that one of colleague call these buses as "rolling coffins" because at times their drivers have that knack of racing with each other in deserted highways...not minding their size and the number of people that they have on board. buses really don't appeal me...am more of an FX and mrt girl... |
