I am fine today.
My niece who studies in Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) comes to visit me quite often. She normally comes on Friday evening after the study and then returns to UTeM on Sunday afternoon. It takes her slightly more than 4 hours to reach my house by bus.
One week ago, when she wanted to return to UTeM, she purchased a bus ticket from a company called Sentosa Linear in Pudu Raya bus station. The company sold her a ticket at RM11, and there was no seat number printed on the ticket. My niece chose the company because it had bus depart to Melaka at 5:00pm, which is the earliest she could find at that time. The sale agent at the counter told her to wait at a particular platform to board the bus.
The bus only came at 5:30pm, and all the passengers were led to a place quite far away from the platform to board the bus. The person in charge stopped my niece from boarding the bus. The reason given was the bus was full :-) She was not the only unlucky one; three other passengers were declined boarding the bus too. The person in charge asked them to wait for the next bus at 6:00pm.
To be continued and see you next post :-)
