My Choo Choo Adventure

Yes. I have.

I have sat on a train.

It was quite something.

Yestermorning, me and three of my amigos wanted to go to KLCC because there was a ZARA sale at a hotel near there or something, and we decided to take the train. well, they decided to take a train, I just went with the flow and all of them have sat on trains before and I haven't sat on a train ever in my whole life so I felt a bit scared but I was in good hands. yappers.

So, the whole experienced was quite technological filled like you buy the tickets from the machine and then you have to put the ticket in the slot or whatever and you have to remember to take the ticket out and then you go in the train and find a seat. So we did and there were quite few people there actually so we all got seats next to each other and then after 2 seconds I realised that there wasn't any conductor in the train and asked them where the conductor was and they said that there's no conductor.



and i went crazy.

WHAT IS THIS!!??! HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE A CONDUCTOR ON A TRAIN?? who is going to punch the tickets? who's going to wish you good morning? who's going to announce the next stop? who's going to call the doctor if someone goes into labour?? who are you going to call when there's something wrong?? what about emergencies?? what if a fight breaks out? who's going to solve all of that problems?? who's going to shout "all aboard"?? who's going to blow the choo choo?? who's going to shut the doors? who do you ask if you have questions or queries?? who's going to solve all the train conundrums?? who, who, WHO?!

but then there were machines. the machines were responsible for the tickets and then the machine announced the next stop and the machine shouted all aboard (it was more like a bell or something) but I felt quite unsafe with no figure of authority on board. really. I honestly could not believe there was no conductor on the train.

so, the rest of the journey was kinda weird. the train was quite unsteady at times and the speed wasn't like consistent and there were really loud weird sounds from the track at times and they really freaked me out and I just didnt feel at all comfortable with this mode of transportation.

and another deal was that the doors closed kinda fast and I wondered if it was possible for people to get stuck, since they were automatic doors. That was on my mind quite a lot during the journey and if they did get stuck, would the train still move? who would stop the train? is there an emergency button even, now to think of it?

so I was thinking, we are trusting our lives to these machines who tell us our next stop, who takes us to our next destination and everything is computerised and really, is it wise? sure, the convenience that technology brings is amazing but really, is it wise? i mean, our lives? is it really? is it?! computers?! is it wise at all?! is it?IS IT?!

JUST HIRE A GOD DAMN CONDUCTOR!!


i guess, its public transport so it was environmentally friendly so i helped the environment that day. yes, it's worth an HONORABLE MENTION. thank you. yessum.
