Train

There's something about the train that scares the hell out of me. It is due probably to the movie (The Cassandra Crossing) I watched when I was a kid.  

The Cassandra Crossing is a 1976 British disaster/thriller film directed by George Pan Cosmatos and starring Richard Harris, Sophia Loren, Martin Sheen, Burt Lancaster, Lee Strasberg, Ava Gardner and O. J. Simpson. There were too many scary plots in the movie like the dangers of bacteriological research, ridge en route is crumbling, and one of the passengers happens to be an ex-inmate of the concentration camp who's out to kill anyone.

Then came LRT. I was in college when LRT was built. I only rode twice. Ang haba ng pila! On my last ride, tulakan. Punong puno na ang loob ng may tumulak sakin para sya makapasok. Ayun, nahulog ang lahat ng dala kong libro. Kaya di na ko muli pang sumakay sa LRT. 

Nowadays, I ride MRT when going to Quezon City to visit my father. Mas mabilis ang byahe, mura pa ang pamasahe. But with the recent accident, ay ayoko na ulit sumakay, naalala ko na naman tuloy ang  Cassandra Crossing movie.

Nakatutuwa ding isipin na sa dinami dami ng signs, mas madami pa ding nakaupong lalaki kesa sa mga babae, matatanda, bata at may kapansanan.



Ang paminsang-minsang pagsakay ay tunay namang nakatutuwa lalo na kung may makikita kang kakilala.

Sana lang ayusin at patibayin pa ng husay ang pampublikong sakayan na ito para mapakinabangan ng tunay ng nakararaming Pinoy. Wag namang ibulsa ng ibulsa ang pondong marapat para sa MRT at LRT.

  1. and now they're pointing out on who's to blame, the makinista ba or the maintenance. tugsh. scary talaga, but still, is, the best way to get rid of traffic that is so so worst na talaga. kaya commuters prefer taking MRT pa rin kahit pa siksikan na. just get ready na makipagpalit ng mukha. in ferness, ang fresh ng fez mo dito and me space pa oh, maluwag pa. haha.
