My Very Bus-y Experience

I just blogged about being back in Pangasinan and I thought of blogging about my commute from Cubao to Socony on the Victory Liner, one of North Luzon's fastest-growing bus companies.

It was uneventful, to say the least.

Except for Matteo (my 2 year old toddler) who kept on jumping, squirming, sliding and standing on the seat, the bus ride was ho-hum.

What I did notice though, were the new BENQ LCD screens installed right in front of the passenger seats there. They were, in my calculations, about 19 inches, so you can see the images clearly even if you were way down the back. It was okay for movie-watching, until the advertisements came out every 15 minutes or so and virtually smashed my mood for watching.

The wi-fi was okay, as hubby was on the internet on his Iphone most of the time. My freakin' Nokia C3 took a longer time to connect to the wi-fi and poor me didn't really have the patience to wait for it anyway. I just tried to concentrate on Matteo's acrobatics.

Now, the thing that really bugged me the entire trip were the slippery seats and the aircon. My butt kept on slipping on the plastic-covered seat, it was hard to stay on it especially whenever manong driver hits on the brakes! Ay, katawan! The aircon also did little to disperse the afternoon heat. I took a bath as soon as I got home and even gave Matteo one since he looks and feels sticky as well.

All in all, I think I would still ride on Victory Liner's buses given that I have no choice anyway and I think they have the safest and most professional drivers around. I just hope I get to ride on the plushly-upholstered bus seats next time.
