Morning Commute

In the train, generally in mornings see a lot of people sitting around me. The fascinating thing about everyone is,we all are thinking the same thing in a different ways. Some people are working on their laptops, some people are reading books, some people are listening to music,but all of the people are thinking why is this train moving so slow? Despite the fact it is running a the normal speed.

Morning commute is always fun. The main objective for people,who use public transport, is to catch a specific train or bus, though the next one is coming in 15 minutes. If they get the bus they feel like they conquered a big battle against the time. However, if they miss it they will be so mad at the driver, like it all the driver's fault that he/she is trying to run service on schedule.

I tend to observe a lot of people on buses. There are all kind of people taking buses and trains for example,students, workers, small business owners etc etc. But one thing which I observed is nobody want to sit next to a stranger. People have very high self esteem. They prefer to stand despite if they have an open seat next to someone. People are very less friendly on buses and trains I don't know why? . This is what it looks like, there are 40 people in a bus and nobody is talking for 40 minutes. If we put these people in a room for 40 minutes I am sure people half the people will end up talking. But on public transport I never saw it happening.

It is also fascinating to see groups of people taking the bus/train. They will end up being the loud and obnoxious people on the bus. Because nobody else is talking and they have somebody to talk to so they flaunt it to others. They think they are the only people in the bus/ trains who have friends. Isn't it funny.
