transportation or Mental Retardation!!!!!
It's really very hard to talk about transportation in Egypt. Should I be talking about the rush hours that exceeded 2 hours in every morning and 4 hours at noon?? Or should I be talking about the increase of these hours to become the whole day long in Ramadan?? Or to speak about the shortage of the accesable means of transportation?? Or about the ridiculous attitude of people in those means??
Actually its a whole bunch of problems gathered in one big bomb shell called "transportation". The simple Egyptian who can't actually afford to ride the, so called luxurious, buses that cost 1.50 L.E. for the ticket, this miserable man should wait for the bus that only comes every 2 hours -at least -carrying double its actual capacity or more. Even if he made his way through this social cuddling, he can never make sure that he'll get out of it sound and safe without any losses( I guess those who use those buses know what I mean).
Girls could hardly live such experiance without any losses that may be at least psychological ones. The none cooperative attitude for the male passangers make it hard as hell to get on these buses without fighting, pushing or even cursing. People even lost their simplest principals that we used to learn when we were young students. One can really be surprized to see how the young deal with spaces and seats from the "I came first" prespective, ignoring all the traditions and simple rules of decency. Those rules that we used to hear and read in our books about respecting the old, women, young children and have mercy on the weak, I know that some would say such ideals doesn't exist anymore............Unfortunately , yes it doesn't anymore.......But not for me... or for my children that shall live better life than that we are living...
If we started to respect everybody around and stopped for a moment from being selfish just for the sake of seeking better life. I guess we shall then progress.
As long as they can't increase the numbers of buses at least through rush hours, as long as they can't be honest about the "special" service that is not special at all, and as long as they wont improve their nasty service for the poor people, I just hope that we help each other, at least, because we are all facing the same problem.
