Yellow Bus




Vroom!!!
The engine revs up
Every needed thing to be done is checked and appropriately set.

The buses filled up the garage
Buses keep moving towards the line of conveying passengers already waiting
The voice of the conductors keep projecting and covering kilometers of areas of the garage.

Passengers keeps flocking up the garage while buses keeps loading
Passengers move towards the next bus to convey them.

The smokes from the buses won't cease to be irritating and disgusting
Heat in the bus makes passengers uncomfortable sometimes.

When the bus is filled up, conductor demands for T. Fares.
Once done with, conductor yell out the name of the driver.

 Immediately the driver rush up and bump into the bus, he demand for the full T. Fares from the conductor and return back passengers change.

He held unto the steering and kick the start
He moves a bit out of line of queue and pay some dues to NURTW Personnel
That's how the journey of the day begins, not long on the road, the bus jacks and come to a halt.

 The driver try starting again but unfortunately the bus doesn't start, in an instance the driver summon the conductor, go and check the engine, use the lose wire to hit the plugged one, out of patience the passengers gets angry and start abusing the driver,conductor and the bus, saying all sort of words to mock the state of the bus
But the driver won't say a word , the conductor starts boiling and abusing them back, uttering words like "why you no go buy your own motor to they carry you go where you want" he spat out phlegm in anger to show is disagreement.

"Boss I Don do am, you can start am now" , the driver reply with OK and do as instructed
Immediately the driver kick and start the bus, the engine revs up with smokes and make a weary sound like a cart that as lasted more than 1000years. Not long the bus zooms off and begins it predestined journey for the day, passengers keeps dropping at their different destinations, back on the road the conductor starts giving names of different routes and bus-stops to the listening ears of the passengers on board, the conductor keeps giving signs and observations to the driver so as not to get caught by the Lastma personnel on the highway and road, passengers keeps alighting at their destinations while another are carried.

The journey of hectic heat and congestion continues, passengers won't cease complaining about the state of the bus and how the driver is speeding on highways .The bus developing fault is everyday excuse to drivers on hired basis to bus owners.

 Once the bus reaches it final destination the conductor hop down, calling out the route they will be plying next and another set of passengers enters.

 Fight between conductors and passengers is always non-stop, both on board and at different routes all because of T.Fare change. Drivers and Conductors always take advantage of the weather to charge their passengers high and not withstanding they know some passengers won't mind and still board the bus while some disagree and leave the spot for other junctions they know the price will be lower.

 Accident is always the bitter part of the bus , due to carelessness by some drivers and conductors.

 The bus jacking and stopping is always constant in every journeys of the bus.

     Zoom!!!  Is my song
     Kick and stop  Is for the mechanic
     Start and work  Is my motive
     Smoke and heat  Is my problem
     Fights and laughter  Is my coolest part
     Fast and slow  Is my state
     Rush and enter  Is my business
     Wait and pick up  Is my money
     Drop and zoom off  Is my result
     Jack and parked  Is my dance move
     Garage  Is my home.
I release this in respect of Lagos State Yellow Bus ( DANFO)
