of buses and queues

Bus or Train?...i will choose the former. They have a very efficient public transport system, every area is practically covered. You'll have to do a little walking to get on from one station to another; or a little hike if you forgot what bus number you should take and ended up taking the longer bus route, that will never in a million years stop at your station...but it is perfectly fine. You can always cross the street and take the same number back and start all over again.

The only problem is that locals are not really fond of queuing, they'll wait for the bus at the designated station, and once it arrives...pandemonium erupts. People just claw their way in. It's messier when it rains.

I am used to it, it's like Manila, particularly in the Philcoa area between 4 - 6pm, where half of the Quezon City population waits for their buses and jeepneys bound for Fairview or Lagro...those were the days. It was a good training.

This bus station is very near where i live. Buses here goes to the beach (2 hours), pass by the public market, and that clothing depot that i have yet to explore.
