Voice of University students: We all have travelled on the University Point buses once in our lives. In case you haven’t, I’m going to highlight what tragedies we travellers used to face every day. Discipline on the buses is the biggest problem of all. Every day, university point buses travel with a congested rush of students, in which getting a seat easily is like dreaming with your wide-open eyes if you aren’t lucky enough! It can only happen when there is a large rush of students with a small number of buses and the authorities are incapable of providing more buses for the students. As a result, students suffer, and it’s happening already.
Travelling may sound fanatical, but obviously not when the bus environment gives you filthy vibes in which students, and sometimes teachers too, look as if a swarm of bees are buzzing around. Sometimes the bus gets a fire in an engine, and sometimes you never know that the bus you are on has a brake failure. Sometimes the students have to wait inside the crowded bus for the driver, which always becomes out of petrol on the way between, and then drivers rarely bother to wait for students to get off the bus. While the students wait inside the bus, the drivers are seen smoking and wandering outside.

They deliberately ignore the students’ voices, screaming to start the bus. Even if you shout at the top of your voice, the bus driver usually won’t start at your call. Due to all these problems, students prefer to live in hostels in order to avoid this everyday ordeal. Instead of strutting around as money-grubbing behemoths, the transportation authorities and government should do something for the students. My intention in describing these events is not to discourage you from riding on these buses, but rather to make you aware that you should speak out against this adversity that we travellers used to face on a daily basis. As I think, the ones who can bring a real change are we, “ourselves.”
