Do you have a practice in travel in the public transport like Bus??
If you are Regularly going to Office by the Public Trasport Corporation Buses, did you get the seat for you to sit, at the peak hours/office timings.?? both the way while you going to office and return to home??
When I use to travel by my Two wheeler, I watch most of the people travel in the Foot board of the bus, by hanging from the bus.
How dangerous is this..?? Do you one of those Foot board Traveller..??
I may see in sometimes, the guys use to stand on the food board, even though if the bus is having more spaces inside to stand or sit.. because of some fashion and fantacy they use to stand on the foot board..
Infact i saw one accident, on road, one of the Truck was try to over took the fully loaded but in the left hand side, by that time, one of the Auto is also will distrub the Truck fellow to move that place, since the truck fellow not in a position to control his spead he just hit the people those who are all hanging on the Food board travellers of the Bus, in this hit, around 8 to 10 people got hit.. out of which 3 of them died on the spot, unfortunately, all the three are very young guys, may be aged around 18-20, the college students.. Just think about their family members, how many loss is this for that family?? how many dreams they have about him.??
If we avoid the foot board travel we can atleast save the life of us know.. please guys, try to avoid the food board travels..

Before, I used to be a foot board passenger, the closer you are in the door the more manly you are. But now let the you ones have the trills off their life, it's really stupid to think that just for the taste of adrenalin you risk the safety of your life just for a minute or hour of your so to speak joy....

Well, I usually travel on foot board because I love the adventure associated with it. yeah I know its ll dangerous and all, but hey, you could die sitting in an AC room getting choked on a leaking compressor. I have seen people getting stuck to things while foot boarding but not me. I have always been alert enough to avoid all these things. And not that I live in a small town with no traffic at all. But its just the way I like it.
