Reasons why Public Transport
is good for you
-
The 100m dash to catch that
bus, or wait half an hour for the next one.
You're not serious, in
Singapore? I thought the next bus usually takes 10 - 20 minutes (whether
its completely full or not is another matter).
-
Short spurts to run after buses
with sadistic drivers who don't stop in the bus bay.
Hey, good training for
IPPT (shuttle run), you know.
-
Arm exercise from hanging on
for dear life during sharp turns and sudden starts and stops.
Again, good training
for IPPT (chin-ups).
-
Meditation while waiting for
buses/trains/taxis.
Food for the soul. And
they say Singaporeans have no spiritual cultivation.
-
Exercise finger for those without
an auto-redial button when calling for cabs.
What are fingers for,
anyway? We're born with fingers to:
1) dig nose during the
wait for bus\train\taxis;
2) dial the phone for
pizza;
3) use in a non-verbal
expression to show what one thinks of the errant driver;
4) be jammed between
the crack of doors and windows; and
5) many more to be mentioned.
-
Free sauna during hot days in
crowded buses.
Hey, if it's free......don't
complain.
-
Those bus tickets good for origami,
esp. tiny Japanese cranes, if you fold them into half.
Also good for warding
off the `white clothed angel', Bai Yi Tian Shi in Mandarin (you heard it
here first) commonly known as ticket inspectors (sometimes I wonder about
the validity of this vocation).
