It's almost thrice every week that I get the chance to ride the LRT (Light Railway Transit), as we all know, it is definitely one of the easiest transportation if you're heading towards University Belt or somewhere near Quezon City, Manila, Makati and the like. It's one of the easiest escape from the unending traffic that everybody get to experience more often.
I'm one of the usual passengers of LRT line 2 and honestly it is the finest of the three transits that I have ever tried. It will took you almost 15 to 20 minutes waiting for the train to arrive when you're waiting early morning at Santolan Station heading to Recto and within that 15-20 minutes span of time, believe me or not, I actually had a lot of observations with a lot of things running in my mind.
The line 2 transit has its own space for the elderly and disabled, but you will still notice a lot of passengers heading through that space and what's more? you'll find the elderly people standing all through out their journey.
In addition, a lot of guys occupy the sits, well this shows that men and women were definitely of equal footage right? Moreover, I'm happy that Philippines still has few gentlemen who were very much courteous to offer sits. I'm not after the sits anyway.
Have you ever notice the sign "Let's be courteous, let passengers alight first" ?
I must say that it is being ignored, I don't get it why people rush themselves and push people in front of them, when in fact, they'll all have the chance to enter the train before the door closes and you know, there will always be a next ride. We're not even in a walking dead series and a sort of zombie movie to have such attitude.
The line in order to purchase a ticket is terrible, you better buy a stored ticket to get away with the terrible line that I'm talking about.
You'll be able to see bunch of students riding the transit because it is the easiest/fastest way to go to school especially if you're a constant candidate of being late and never early. You'll see in here the gadget groups, well these are the type of passengers who were busy with their gadgets and does not mind how many and who were the persons inside, they actually don't have trust issues not until they find their phones missing. I don't mean being mean here but you just got to be aware and extra careful because honestly, you can never trust anybody nowadays, even the kindest friend could be the worst enemy, well I hope you got my point there.
There's also a circle of people who feels like they are inside a bar shouting out loud and cracking conversations like they own the whole transit. We're definitely not in the library but you guys must know the right place where to show appropriate behaviors.
It will definitely take you a lot of risk in riding a transit especially if you're a first time commuter/traveler. It is where you're going to see a sea of people rushing but if we only knew the value of being courteous and not being selfish, it would definitely be a lot better version of transportation.

In short: Courtesy and Unselfishness is the key!
