Public Transport

 It's well known that the transport system in Singapore is one of the best around. Our subway (MRT) and bus system takes you to almost any part of Singapore. Taxis are also readily available at a relatively cheap price (try hailing a cab in London, Tokyo or New York). 

Having said all these, I have not step on board a bus or taxi for years. Ever since I got my driving license at 17, I have always had a car. It so happened that I had to send my car in for a service the other day. They found a fault that needed about a week to fix cause they did not have the parts in Singapore. Needless to say, I was fuming mad. 

However, when I regained my calm, I thought it would be a good time to check out our public transport system. Moreover, the bus stop is just across the road from my house. OK, I admit my working hours are flexible and I can time it such that I miss the morning rush hour crowd. To my surprise, I rather enjoyed the buy rides to work and back (yes I even secretly snapped this photo with my camera phone). 

I have since gotten my car back from the workshop. But I think for this year, I will try to take the bus to work once a week. I guess it's my little contribution to a cleaner environment.
