I was again went to the capital city hence the silence of my blog. above is the latest picture of one of the most important transportation for commoners - bus terminal. the last time I went there was about 2 years ago, the situation was the same as 10 years ago (while I'm still studying in the city). it's now fully air-conditioned and no more the fume from buses get into the terminal.
the terminal was built 35 years ago and only now the commoners have the feeling of being in comfortable as in an airport! the whole waiting lounge is air-conditioned. the fume from buses exhaust is no more get into the terminal. there is no more foreign-operated food outlets and no more young men hunting for customers (which occasionally bogus). the floor is now cleaner than previous and the bus counters' staffs seemed more happy. the bus berth area (basement) is now more sparkling and there is also a working exhaust system to suck out fumes. last time, whenever I went down to the berth area, I always feel to throw out.
from what I leaned from a kiosk operator inside the operator, the rent of their outlets are now increased. and I also told that buses heading to south are now have their own, separate terminal. so their sales dropped. however from my opinion, as users, the separation is a good move. last time it was packed with people. once I witness a young women was hit by a man by a crash helmet. the women passed out. then two men came and dragged the women out from the place. a man tried to help but was warned by the hit-man that it was a family matter. yes, there was a police bit. but may be because of the situation, crowded, hot, uncomfortable, chaotic, etc., the incident was just another happening in such area.
finally, the commoners get some good facilities. of course after 35 years!
