Actually today first time in my life I traveled about 250 km on standing as i did not get any seat. The bus runs steadily. I stand through out the time about 3.30hrs. I was perforce to do that as tickets were sold out and i was in hurry to come back home. I take the chance. A friend was also with me. I traveled the entire journey by standing and at this I am not so tired as i thought I would be. I felt nice as i was coming talking with my friend and was thinking the feeling of the journey I were on the seat. Then what about yours?

That journey, standing all the way, must have been very challenging for you. It was a shame that all seats were sold out. It was fortunate that you had your friend with you to chat to. At the moment I am weak and if I stand for more than a few moments I feel faint. I need to sit down or walk short distances slowly.
I liked it in Samoa. When every seat was full people sat in the gangway and some even sat on others laps. Therefore everyone on board had a place to sit. There was a bus station in Apia and outside of that area the bus stopped anywhere if a passenger requested it.

hey, that must have been really tough on you. standing for such s long time is not an easy thing in the bus. but, i am glad that you some company in the form of your friend. during my school days, we used to travel a lot in the buses, and we had a lot of friends. sometimes, when there was no space, we would footboard all through the journey. however, it was for around 30 to 45 mins unlike the long journey you are talking about.

Traveling on foot board is dangerous. But in my young hood I always loved to travel on foot board during summer. I loved to be splashed and hit by the speedy air. It made my hair in huddle. I really loved that journey.
