Lagos is a comedy zone half the time and moving
from one part of town to the other in a public bus
will leave you with interesting experiences which
keep you reeling with laughter for most part of
the journey.
If you lack a sense of humor, many situations you
encounter can cause you to flip a switch but once
you realize that public vehicles are boarded by
people from various backgrounds, orientations
and mindsets, you should feel better.
Jovago.com, Africa’s No 1 Hotel Booking Portal
rounds up a few crazy things you should try not
do in a public bus
Wooing a woman
Yes, you can meet your life partner anywhere.
For this reason, men may want to take advantage
of the opportunity of wooing a pretty girl
especially when they know that the chances for
seeing her again are pretty slim.
However, thing can turn awry really quick as not
all ladies like the idea of being wooed in a public
bus or on the high street of Ikeja.
To avoid embarra$$ments, suppress your urge to
woo the lady till she’s ready to get off the bus and
then make your move. If it’s a hit or miss, the
memories are all yours alone.
Dozing-off on the shoulders of a fellow pa
$$engers.
Sleeping in a public bus is not an unusual
situation. However, what many Nigerians can not
stand is when you turn the shoulders of a fellow
pa$$enger to a pillow.
It’s a little weird to have a stranger rub-off on you
and if you can’t stand it, neither can they. Plus it
puts you at mercy of pickpocket’s and you run the
risk of being driven past your bus stop.
Not paying for your transport fare
Some people are fond of trying to avoid paying
transport fares. Other persons go as far as saying
a little prayer hoping the conductor will forget his
money.
In Lagos, you have got a large dose of faith, this
prayer may not work and it often leads to bitter
fights between the conductor and pa
$$engers….you do not want tied in a fist-cuff with
a bus conductor.
Offering the driver ‘driving lessons’
The average driver thinks of himself as king of
the road. No matter their flaws, they rarely
accept caution or correction from anyone.
Therefore, any pa$$enger who attempts to
caution the driver may receive a vitriolic reaction
from him.
In cla$$ic comical Eko fashion, he may threaten
to abdicate the driving sit for the pa$$enger…in a
moving vehicle, you certainly do not want him to
take his threat seriously.
Intervene when arrested
Members of the Lagos State Traffic Management
Authority (Lastma) or the police may be
overzealous and aggressive but this is as a result
of the habitual recklessness of drivers who
disobey the State’s driving rules.
When arrested, the drivers feel remorseful while
pleading with pa$$engers to apologise on their
behalf.
Pa$$engers do not need to intervene especially
when the driver is at fault. To avoid getting
caught in a free for all verbal onslaught,
whenever the driver gets arrested, quietly
disembark from the vehicle and get another one
heading your way.
