29.07.2008 | 每月煩惱

今朝又嚟喇, 好似每個月總有一次.. 呢個PUTRA輕鐵, 硬係中意揀喺高峰時段發生系統故障, 大佬啊, 人人趕住返工架嘛, 而且我呢站又係人流最多嘅五站之一, 真係贈興咩?? 聽聞今朝8點開始就已經發生故障..

如常8:45到站準備返工, 點知見到我最怕見到嘅情景, 就係輕鐵逼爆怨氣沖天嘅人.. 唔駛問阿貴, 梗係又再「因技術問題引致服務癱瘓」啦, 廣播每隔三分鐘就話超過一個小時都會維持現狀, 即刻覺得想暈低!! 其實好似每個月都有次架喇, 今日係我遇見有史以來最嚴重一次.. 喺輕鐵閘口前呆等20分鐘後, 有關工作人員先開閘分流人群, 好不容易上到去月台, 再等多個20分鐘(今日列車班次離譜地變成10分鐘), 終於成功畀身後群眾力量推入經已逼爆嘅列車內.. 嘩!! 其實好敬佩所有乘客嘅縮骨功囉, 頭先竟然同其他乘客面對面身貼身, 連呼吸都感受到, 嗰種於陌生人貼近得死鬼尷尬嘅程度, 請想像!! 因為系統故障需要人手操作, 所以平時20分鐘嘅車程, 今日用咗將近一小時.. 受困於呢個毫無郁動空間嘅逼爆車廂一個小時(我爭在仲未因吸入過多二氧化碳而暈死車廂), 終於10:30am抵達公司, 足足比平時遲咗1小時15分鐘!! 頂~~it happened this morning again, as if it's a planned monthly incident.. the PUTRA LRT is facing technical problems again, i wonder why it likes to "choose" the peak hours where everyone is rushing to work?? that station at my house is one of the top 5 most crowded stations, is it kidding on us?? heard that the incident started since 8am this morning..

i reached the station 8:45 as usual, only to find out the scariest thing i would never want to see, that is station flooded with frustrated people.. yeah, it's the "due to technical difficulties, trains are delayed", and this time should be the most serious i've ever encountered so far.. waited for 20min outside the gate before we are allowed to get into the platform.. on the platform waited another 20min (train has been scheduled to 10min then), and finally successfully being "pushed" into the already packed train.. i really gotta salute how the passengers can "squeeze" themselves inside the coach.. and due to the crowd, you get so closed to each other (body touching body and face to face), that was really embarrassing i would say, just imagine.. due to the technical problem, the trains were controlled manually, and hence the normal 20min journey took me a mere 1 hour today.. trapped in packed train for an hour (almost fainted for inhaling excessive carbon dioxide), finally arrived at office 10:30am, a record breaking 1H15M later than usual, WTF~~

  1. Malaysia don't has traffic punishment system like our neighbor country. So, why the LRT company care?

  2. shit happens... really... everywhere. it always happened in netherlands before... the train system always has problem, and always chooses the rush hour... i remember i have to wait for 1 hour and change several times at several unnecessary station to get a very near place (which normally takes 1 hour only)

  3. hei ... at least the trains are air-conditioned, you know summer here can be as hot as 30-33'c even 38'c .. and here the trains have no airconditioning .. and underground is horrible when it's hot and hot i mean above 25'c, you can imagine 10 feet underground trapped in the train with no ventilation and passengers fainting .. this is very common ...and don't get me started on the notorious british rail, aih .. always congested, frequent delays and every year they increase the fare at a rate higher than inflation ... so .. my friend tahan .. sabar .. it's everywhere...

    well, i still can tolerate with LRT.. if there is any traffic punishment, KTMB will be the first to deserve it lor, it really sucks!!

    傑士:
    well, i agree, shit happen really everywhere, hahaha!! well, train is always worse than LRT.. when you consider our dear KTMB, you will think the netherlands rail is a real bliss already, hahahaha!!!

    csws:
    hmmmm.. looks like all rail system are the same everywhere!! really 天下烏鴉一般黑 lorr.. the LRT is actually quite well managed, just complained about the failure today.. but you have seen me complaining KTMB before right?? oh gosh, really KNS i would say.. it's comparable with the Indian railway really..

    hmmm, 好彩今日冇遇到臭氣熏天嘅情況, 執返條命.. 不過前日就有喇, 有個大嬸行完街士竟然拎住包魚上車, 仲要企正我隔離添!! 暈~~

    squall:
    那我比你同事慶幸吧?? 我只比平時遲1h15m.. 有兩個同事比我早衝進月台, 不過比我遲到公司, 哈哈!!

    fookong:
    江兄你不必那麼大反應, LRT和KTM時時發生故障我們已經習以為常, 所以打出這個理由, 是有理由讓人信服的.. 公司也沒有那麼沒人性, 只要事前交代一聲就好啦!! 現在鐵拳管理政策已經是落後了囉, 知道嗎??

  11. csws:

  12. the crowd you have on that day is like the normal crowd i had in Beijing during peak hours. People tend to be pushed and squeeze into the train..... phewww, so glad i can drive my own car now...

    ReplyDelete
  13. oh, i tell you what.. this crowd is really nothing compared to those i encountered in Beijing during my last visit.. i still walk into the train in KL, but in Beijing i was walked into the train instead.. hahaha!!

  14. I like the way you describe it - " I was walked".....anyboday has figure on total number of population increased this few years? I encountered complaints that everyway is so crowded nowadays....

    ReplyDelete
  15. haha, "I was walked" is true and really describes the situation then, no kidding.. hmmmm, no idea about the population growth, but you are very true - crowd is everywhere, and everytime!!
