Trading flesh for space.
One word. Violation. Violated.
Below reflects the thousands dependent.
Morning time(7.20-830) and evening time(6-7.15) will see migration at its peak. Being one of the dependent ones, I faced many trials and tribulations. Could I voice out? No. Could I halt their progress? No. I'm trapped within the strict confines of the boxed in train. We all squeeze and push, sweat and grumble. Anyone intending to say we're to whiny?
For those of you still new to the system, I recommend an introduction by boarding the train at the times stated above, Monday to Friday. Give it a go, it won't hurt to try.
Our pleas for better transportation ha fallen on deaf ears. Worse still is that although the petrol price has decreased by 15cents, the scenario is still bad on our life. Food hasn't gone down and the LRT is decaying. People now emphasise public transport. Hey, can't you lot do us a favour and stay away from the train! As it is with the current batch prior to the price hike, we're struggling. Now you add a mammoth of people. Wonderfully brilliant isn't it?
Now is the time when technology will overtake humankind's position at the rudder. Like WALL-E, the Captain was controlled by Auto. As dependent he was on his mobile comforter, he has lost bone mass or shall I say crippled?
Now putting WALL-E into perspective, technology controls our lives. When it breaks, we're all stranded. Insufficient bone mass reduces our movement greatly.
By removing our bone mass, we're moderately crippled.
I stand strong beside my answer!
Having boarded the LRT for a long long time, I've seen my fair share of the breakdowns that have cost me some costly decisions. Everyone can agree, we're all packed and compressed. As WALL-E compresses trash inside his "metal" tummy, LRT passengers feel the same tension and pressure and we can imagine WALL-E's face when he's performing the compression. Best of all, that impression is imprinted on all those boarding the LRT.
Of course, every compression has air pockets. So, with a perfect cloud to cover movement, predators risk opportunities to satiate their need. It's been highlighted before and day after day, we are forced to endure the clammy and grimy hands snaking up and down that echoes their lustful desires.
Oh yeah, I haven't arrived at the best part yet. Morning trains are packed. So we're forced to wait like for 3-4 trains or even more before we can even step foot inside to begin trading for the day. And that is bad for business.
