DEAR COMMUTER


Dear Commuter,
We know you have your own car. However, while you are in this bus, you are a passenger; therefore, behave!

It’s a vehicle, not your living room. Except you’re paying more than others (which I seriously doubt), give room for others- close your legs!

I know you’re tired and need to sleep. Aren’t we all? If you must sleep, don’t drool. If you are a known ‘drooler’, don’t sleep!

If you really have to sleep, try not to snore, at least not so loudly!

The neck bone isn’t that strong, support it, else you hurt yourself, but surely not on another commuter’s shoulders.

Yeah, the driver has no ‘conductor’, when passing your fare, PLEASE don’t poke!

We know you love the news/music/videos and you’ll love to listen on your mobile, but some of us just want some silence, as much as the driver would give. There’s a small accessory called headphone/earpiece. They are not that expensive. Get one!

So you got a call. We aren’t interested in the details of your conversation. Stop shouting at us all in the name of receiving a call.

Conductors no dey send o. More often than not they leave you be if you respect yourself. Borrow yourself some brain, maintain! Don’t attempt to initiate a brawl, trust me, you’ll regret it. You probably work in an office, while his entire world is violence. Even if you manage to beat him, you’ll likely suffer some hits. My advice- Be humble! The conductor is human too, respect his office.

Stop complaining about the traffic. Stop nagging the driver. Stop dictating where he should ‘follow’. You’re not helping matters joor, only spiking tension in the bus!

He’s doing 60-70KM already, but you want him to go faster? Bros, next time chatter a chopper! Better still, leave home earlier!

Hey, you two. Must you talk about your neighbor in the bus? Have some decency, at least gossip in whispers!

Bros, your shoes! What’s that smell oozing from them!? Nna, consider us na, improve on your personal hygiene!

“Do you know who I am?” How are we supposed to know who you are, when you don’t know who you are?

Yours sincerely,
Fellow Commuter.
