PEE 9933
Who : A tout selling tickets
What : A vehicle (Bus)
Where : Puduraya
When : 10 Feb 07 @ 2pm
Why : Didn't want to wait till 4pm for next bus
How : Bought the ticket from the tout thinking I could reach earlier
Consequence:
End up reaching 2 hours later than usual.
Tired, sticky and piss off.
Reasons:
Bus driver stopped at a rest area claiming that the air-cond needs a break.
After sometime, the passengers demanded that he continue the journey even without the air-conditioning by having the door opened.
(Went on the way finally)
Suddenly, he stopped at a petrol kiosk!
Claimed that he didn't have enough petrol to reach our destination.
Claimed that his boss didn't give him enough money to fuel up.
He asked passengers for money for petrol!
Passengers refused (including me)!
I called my parents and they agreed to pick me up at the kiosk.
(After a pause)
A young Malay lad offered to pay for him.
He ended up distorting RM30 from the lad for petrol.
The other passengers went on their way as I waited patiently for my parents to arrive to pick me up.
While waiting, I saw the bus that I didn't want to wait for because it was scheduled to leave at 4pm, pass by the kiosk!
Lesson learnt :
Never buy your tickets from touts out of not wanting to wait for the next bus.
Even if you are truly desperate; do think twice!
