Behave on the bus
Iam a working lady, who is really
frustrated due to the attitude of men while riding a bus. The high price of taxis
precludes its use for ordinary people like me all the time. So, I usually take the bus for
my convenience but sometimes it really turns out to be uncomfortable. I don't mean to
blame all men as the same but what I mean to say is some of them act very cheaply and in a
lowly manner. They disturb girls standing beside them. They give unnecessary troubles,
such as pushing, dashing, and attaching themselves to hapless girls and women. Conductors
prefer to fill every square inch of the bus space to maximise profit. It is their
business! But why? why don't men show respect and courtesy to ladies in the bus. Why do
they act in such a stupid and vulgar manner? It is not good to take advantage of helpless
ladies. So please, stop irritating us. Although we are not your own sisters, we are
somebody's sister, mother or wife. The problem you people create for us is pretty serious.
So, men on buses stop harassing ladies, be sensible.
