Buses.

So today's rant is all about buses. F****ing things. Well not buses in general, just those in China. So take today's trek.

Wake up. Shower and leave home. I spy the bus stop in the distance, and damn, there are about 100 people waiting. The popularity of the bus service has been growing for some time, so last month the bus company made the obvious decision of halving the number of buses. Good for them.

We see the bus on the horizon, people start to get excited, jostling to the front, trying to guess exactly where the bus will stop.

The bus arrives. It is full. Now most of you have no idea what full means. Full means every available space taken, people crowded in each stairwell, seriously fitting a sardine in would be a challenge.

But wait! There's a women standing near the middle of the bus, stretched out, successfully stopping anyone from passing her to stand at the back..um..

Somehow I get on the bus (I have sharp elbows) and push the women down, not literally, but almost, and everyone can now board the bus.

The bus moves off.
