Stuffing Human Sardines Until Insanity!

Insane.

Whether I bus early in the morning or late at night, the same thing appears - the bus is PACKED.

Insane.

Sometimes in the morning people would be watching the busses come and go, but can't get on one until the 5th or 6th time around. Really thank God this has only happened to me once or twice so far.

Insane.

When you get on the bus (whether it's early morning or late night), all you hear is the bus driver yelling, "Push all the way back please! Be cozy! Make friends!" Sometimes VO does this job, in a much gentler manner, "Please move to the rear of the bus." Once everybody has got on (if we can squeeze anybody), you will hear another quote from the bus driver, "Hold on for your safety please." That's true - since the bus is so crowded, it's difficult to find something to hold on to. If you happen to have a seat, you don't see nothing but human bodies. They block all the beautiful scenaries of Vancouver.

Insane.

Sometimes I have to stand all the way from where I get on till the UBC terminal. Or if I'm seated, I would be suffocated because the level of crowdedness does NOT get reduced AT ALL. The first half of the bus ride would be crowded with high school students and the second half university students. Sometimes I would just ignore what's going on by dozing off ...

Insane.

After 9pm the bus only comes every half an hour. People would be so fed up with waiting for the bus and they would fight to get on the bus ... I have developed some good "sneaking into the bus" skills so I don't have to wait another half an hour longer.

Insane.

Nevertheless, one thing always happens - when I get off the bus, I'd always be thankful with such enjoyable fresh air!

Time to go to sleep or else I won't be able to make to class 8.5 hours later!!!!!

THIS IS INSANITY!!!
