What mode of transportation do you travel on most frequently and do you enjoy taking that mode? Have yiou ever been disturbed by other commuters' behaviour on public transport? by Mrs Junari https://padlet.com/norsha75/pznfh5zejfwe Made with the help of a typing monkey en-us 2017-03-29 05:53:26 UTC 2025-12-12 15:14:29 UTC hello@padlet.com norsha75 https://padlet.com/norsha75/pznfh5zejfwe/wish/163319651 2017-03-29 05:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/norsha75/pznfh5zejfwe/wish/163319651 Wayne https://padlet.com/norsha75/pznfh5zejfwe/wish/164213300 I: I travel most frequently on the bus. I do enjoy taking this transport. On the other hand, I also like taking the train.
R: The reason I like to take these two transports is that not only I could save money as taking the taxi is much more expensive, I could also travel to different places quicker. 
O: However, sometimes when I am on these public transports, there are many people making noises that I dislike, some are when people uses their phones, they usually on the music too loud that I was distracted and could not enjoy the journey back home.
P: There was once when I was taking the train to my tuition, I saw an infant cry. The cry pierced the air of the silent train. Everybody's eyes suddenly darted towards the infant. After sometime, the infant was overcome with fear as the stare of the crowd soon made her scared. However, her mother did not care and continued to watch her drama on her phone, oblivious to her surroundings. I was really angry. How inconsiderate she was!
E: Many people also drink and eat food on the public transport and littered after they finished their food. I learnt that on these public transports like buses and trains would be a wrong thing to do and we should not be inconsiderate, so we should not mae them annoyed.]]> 2017-04-03 01:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/norsha75/pznfh5zejfwe/wish/164213300 Cherry https://padlet.com/norsha75/pznfh5zejfwe/wish/164213312 I: I travel private transport most frequently, not public transport. But, when I do travel by public transport,it is usually the bus.
R:My sister, my mother and I all like to sit on the top of the double -decker bus. It is fun and exciting as we can look at all the vehicles in the road below us.
O:I prefer riding private transport the riding public transport because the public transport is too noisy , dirty, and does not always arrive on time.
P:During the holidays, my mother would bring my sister and I to take the double- decker bus to the White Sands shopping mall.To my dismay, the bus arrived late and I had already waited for a long time. When I boarded the bus, I was there were people sitting on the steps to the top level of the double-decker bus. When my mother asked him to move politely, he just ignored us and I think it was because he was wearing earphones and heavy metal music was blaring out. Then, my mom gently tapped him on the shoulder and asked him to move. He then lifted one side of his earphones and rolled his eyes at us and while muttering something under his breath, reluctantly moved.Me, my mother and my sister than climbed the stairs to the second level while we sat back and enjoyed the view. 
E:Many people also eat and drink in public transports and I think that is very inconsiderate.]]> 2017-04-03 01:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/norsha75/pznfh5zejfwe/wish/164213312 Sophia and Nichole https://padlet.com/norsha75/pznfh5zejfwe/wish/164213317 I;I travel the most by bus and train. I enjoy taking these two transports. I have been disturbed by other commuters.
R: I take the bus and train to go to different places going home and going to school. I enjoy taking those two transports because there is air-condition and you can enjoy the view from the windows.Other commuters talk too loud in the bus and train.
O: Taking the two transports is faster than riding a private vehicle that needs more time to find a parking space to park.Taking the double-decker bus is fun because there is a nicer view from the top of the bus.
P: I took a train and it was fast and it reached my destination faster than a bus because there is no traffic.I took a train to Marina Bay Sands and it was fun.
E: Waiting for a bus takes longer time than waiting for a train because the bus are usually not on time when the train comes on time.I have fun looking at the view in the bus and trains

O:Bus is used in our every day life and it is also not as expensive as Taxis which cost a lot of money.Train also cuts down on pollution and the cost is also much cheaper than taking the taxi.
P: When I am taking the bus from the school to my student care, i went up the double-decker and surprisingly saw a few XinMin Primary students shouting, running fore and back,playing catching and playing bottle flip on the deck.When my friend and I tried to stop them, one of them pointed middle finger at us and asked us to keep quiet.

P:there was a person listening to music very loudly and children were playing and talking loudly.

E:If people want to listen to music,they should wear headphones or earphones.

O: I like the bus the most and sometimes the bus drivers greet you.Buses are good as when it is very quiet on the  bus you can sleep, they are also very cheap but i am not sure whether they will deduct more if the destination is further.As for Singapore,it is very convenient because it is a small country so we can travel around quicker and also relax in the bus with the air-conditioner.Buses are nice and slow so yo can get a long look at the attraction for example : the merlion.

Trains will not be stuck in traffic jams unlike cars .

O:I recommend taking them both together as you can save money when you travel long distances but you will get very disturbed when you are aboard but you can ignore them by keeping yourself busy by doing what you like most of the things you brought.

P:I have been aboard may times on the bus and the trains and so far i can see and hear that the bus is the quietest ride of the two.The taxi i have not been many times but i know that public taxis are very expensive as they want the money and they earn more than they need because some of them are greedy while the others charge people more because of the quick rides they are giving to the passengers.

O: In my opinion, I also think taking the MRT is very convenient and i can reach my destination very fast especially if you are in a hurry.

P: For my family, there will always be times when we prefer public transport  to our car as there may be a massive traffic jam or the certain road might be closed for an event. Last Saturday, My family and i were supposed to go for the Coldplay concert. We needed to take public transport as there would be a massive jam.However my sister had a high fever and she could not the take the MRT as it would be too cold for her. Fortunately, my mother, my  cousin and I managed to go for the concert but sadly, it was packed like sardines. The commuters were very rude.
