Public Transportation: The Real Enemy

This might just be because I'm home again and want to have a bit of a dig at cityrail, but isn't public transport just a little bit terrifying?

It's not just the smelly passengers, or the over representation of crazy f***ers, or the suspicious looking stains, or any of these side concerns. It's that trains and buses seem to be purposefully messing with us. The inexplicable delays? The sudden slowing right when you're moving between carriages? The button that magically stops working right when you're about to pass your stop? The buses that suddenly slide too close to the curb and nearly hit you in the face with a mirror [I swear this happens to me every other day]? I don't trust these beasts anymore! It's purposeful! There is no doubt in my mind about this one: I'm absolutely sure that public transport wants us all dead.

That slow building sense of mistrust we've all been developing since the first time we were allowed to ride the bus to school? We should be paying attention to that! Instead, we accept these little oddities as mere frustrations. They're expected by now! My theory: this is what they want. Eventually, we're going to start hearing about deaths on the bus. Suspicious vanishings between one train station and the next. And we'll start to accept that, too! As another frustration! Just the risks of public transport!

They'll take us out one by one, until the only folks left are those with their own cars. And that's when the humble automobile will turn on us, too. It's not robots who are going to take over humanity: it's cityrail. And all the others like it. 

You have been warned.
