My opinion on: Public transport

:iconerraticstudios:


This week has been insane, really. It's been university orientation week, which means I've been constantly in and out of uni all week via the train. Let something be known: I'm not good with trains. Not because they're uncomfortable, or of the threat of brake failure at any time (because I'm totally not referring to the bizarre sudden brake failure of a Queensland train a few weeks ago. :iconseriouscatplz:). No, I'm more concerned about the minor things. Like getting God-knows-what disease from touching the germ-infested handrails. Or being squished from the stampede of businesspeople that have places to go and people to see and therefore seem to believe they may freely stomp on my feet in order to reach the 'Open Door' button. I usually just tolerate it, except for yesterday when that stampede happened to be mostly businesswomen wearing pin-sharp heels. Note to self: wear armoured steel boots on train.

But at least Australian trains are better than the French underground Metro system. Oh, god. In one word: chaos. If I managed to actually find the correct train to start with, 90% of the time I'd be late to the platform (technically my fault) and have to dive into the closing doors to get onto the train. Yes, dive. I saw another French man dive into the train one day, and he did it quite well, only just managing to fit between the closing doors. The day came when I was late at the platform and had to dive into the train myself. Be like the French man, I thought. It'll be easy, I thought. But of course as soon as I heard the 'Doors closing' alarm, I threw all etiquette out the window and was all "GET OUT OF MY WAY YOU FOOLS". I (somehow) made it on the train as the doors shut. I was pretty pleased with myself; then I accidentally stood on someone's foot, then fell onto a srsly fat man (the upside: my fall was cushioned). All the while in the background there was lively accordion and guitar music playing from a live music quartet in the carriage. People were either thinking "Oh look at that graceful, elegant tourist navigating the metro system like a true Frenchwoman" or "My god, who is that imbecile". I suspect it was the latter.

But back to Australia.
We have another type of public transport - no, not a bus. It's called the CityCat, and it's basically a very fast, very large ferry that goes up and down the Brisbane river, stopping along the way to pick people up or drop them off. Not only is it speedy and efficient and always on-time, but if you choose, you can stand at the very front of the boat in the open air and have a Titanic moment with your arms up and the wind in your hair. Or you can wear a billowing Batman cape and stand there all serious as your mode of transport takes you to your next mission location. And if the person next to you is talking really loudly and annoyingly on their phone, no problem - you can just grab it off them and conveniently throw it overboard. For increased effect, I suggest doing this whilst wearing your billowing Batman cape. And all this CityCat public transport brilliance is only a mere couple of dollars each way. Incredible.

And I feel that on the CityCat, there's less chance of you catching some disease from all the germs. There's almost no handrails and the space is far bigger than that of a train carriage or bus, which allows people to spread out and less germs to be passed around. After taking the train I feel the need to go home and bathe myself in antibacterial hand-sanitizer - no so with the CityCat. :heart:

So, tell me, petals. Do you have the luxury of being privately chaffered everywhere by your limousine driver, who I presume is named James? Or do you catch public transport most of the time? And most importantly: were you a member of the businesswoman train stampede on Tuesday night, more specifically the one with the really sharp black heels that nearly split my foot in half?

Hello there!
My name is Chelsea, but feel free to call me Erratic if you prefer.
:bulletblue: I live in Australia, and wouldn't have it any other way.
:bulletblue: I have a thing for seaweed juice (*pokes ID photo above*).
:bulletblue: I'm over-organised. I always seem to carry five pens just incase four run out of ink. So if you ever need to borrow a pen, I'm good for that.
:bulletblue: I love TopGear.
:bulletblue: I like things that smell nice.
:bulletblue: I'm slightly obsessed with the film Skyfall, a.k.a the best Bond movie ever, AFKHLSJFHGSJK. :faint:
:bulletblue: Planes, space and the solar system fascinate me.
:bulletblue: I'm currently studying business at university, majoring in economics and finance. :heart:
:bulletblue: I'm a bit of a health & fitness nut. Jogging is like therapy for me... minus the sweatyness. That's just gross.

Hi there! I was wondering if you ever planned on/looked into joining any other equine manipulation group. If not I completely understand, I was just curious.
