Ever Forgotten Your Balance With A Commercial Bus Conductor? by nenergy(m): 10:07am On Mar 31, 2013 |
For those of us who haven’t gotten our own rides yet, jumping buses everyday can be tiring and risky. By risky I mean the possibility of; 1. having your nicely starched and ironed shirt stained. 2 .Getting a nasty cut from pieces of metal sticking out from those rickety “danfo” buses. 3. And most dreadfully; forgetting your balance with the bus conductor.lol Forgetting your balance with a commercial bus conductor can be very painful, especially if you’ve been screaming “Conductor, my change o!” Some conductors deliberate stall to make you forget. Sometimes we fiddle away at our mobile phones (facebook, NL, BBM) and make conductors smile. Just yesterday a colleague forgot his N500 while rushing to meet the staff bus. Personally the highest amount I have forgotten is N400. Chai, the thing pain me o, it was my “last card” (cash at hand). I’d slept off in traffic; I woke up when the conductor shouted my bus stop. I alighted and good-bye N400. So how much have you forgotten with a commercial bus conductor and why did you forget? 10 Likes 1 Share

funny post......im a victim of this many times but the funniest thing is that if a conductor give me an amount that is more than my change and I didn't return it, I will lose more than that to another conductor that same day or the following day.....I thank God cos most time this happen, I just have to trek back home that's bariga from oshodi.....sometimes self without eating at work...I will starve and still trek in the evening.....that taught me a lesson not to be dubious 6 Likes |
