Bus Ride - Canadian Style

Got my very first bus ride a while a go.

Unlike here in the Philippines, we just stop the bus when we were on the street. Here you should what Bus number you should ride and what time will it pass on the nearest bus stop. There are only few buses here so you need to wait 30 minutes or so before the next bus with the same bus number arrives. Unless of course you know other routes using transfers which is quite uhm inconvenient especially if you know that there is a bus that goes directly to your destination.

$2 is the fare, malayo or malapit. If you need to transfer to another bus, just asked for a transfer ticket to the bus driver. Valid yun for one hour. Meaning kung sa pupuntahan mo less than an hour ka lang, you can use the transfer ticket to go back home like yung ginawa namin kanina. You can also buy tickets in advance in a cheaper price or a monthly unlimited pass. Medyo mahirap kasi ang barya dito eh.Kasi you need to pay exact fare for the bus and barya lang talaga.

Disiplinado ang mga drivers dito, I mean compared di ba? hehehe. Bus stops lang talaga ang hinto nila. The bus is quite comfy, maluwag hindi siksikan and kahit may nakatayo maluwag pa rin. Think Lrt 2 here.

Syempre baba na lang ako may bloopers pa, kasi sa likod kami bumaba nung pauwi na, hindi nahawakan ng dad ko yung door ang tendency sumara, so panic ako, hindi ko alam kung pano buksan, fortunately may Canadian guy na nag-open ng door for me. Yak kahiya. Obvious na first timer. Hehehe.
