Cars vs. Public Transit

Anyways, another benefit of cars (particularly if you’re a car enthusiast) is that you start to view them as more than a tool. A car is something that has traits and quirks. They can sort of take on a human-like quality. You sort of learn to view it as a partner in driving, you learn to work with it rather than forcing it.

Sure, for the average person, a car is just a tool, no different than a bus, just a part of day-to-day life, but if you’re someone who enjoys driving, you start to develop a bond with it, and that’s not something you can do with a bus.

If you don’t mind me asking, how exactly do you bond with a bus?

With a car it’s not that difficult as it’s something that you work in tandem with to plow over technical terrain or perfect a line through a corner. In a way, it becomes an extension of your being.

You also don’t get to maintain a bus, but you can maintain a car yourself, which allows you to learn its faults and then work with them.

I don’t really care about this tbh

It’s the same crew, the same passengers and the same bus on the route. I have been taking it for more than a year, almost everyday.
Thats enough for me to build a bond with it

Also its a 2 year old Tata BS6 CNG, the last type of gas powered bus acquired by B.E.S.T.

Well that’s a way that you can bond with a car, and that’s absent from bus life. Even the control of the vehicle is absent on a bus. Yes, you can bond with the crew, but you can’t bond with the machine in even remotely the same way.

Bonding with a form of transportation is pretty weird car, bus, boat plane or train. I don’t like plane, I like traveling, it don’t matter how :shushing_face:

the depot had arranged a program for bus users to come and see how the buses are maintained and cleaned there
so they let me change the oil on that bus

4 of my friends and I decided to race from Ghatkopar Station (W) to Mulund Station (W) using different modes of transport

I took the AC Fast local
Friend-1 took the regular local
Friend-2 took the bus
Friend -3 took his own car
Friend-4 took an auto

I reached first, then the second local, then the bus, then the car and then auto

Alright, I see where you’re coming from. Though, your circumstances are a bit different than probably 99% of bus users.
