Had a frantic call from Cheryl, saying that she could
not buy her bus ticket for her return trip during the
Raya period. Realising her predicament, I offered
to go Larkin Bus Terminal to do the needful.
Having worked for Malaysian airlines for 30years,
I certainly have no idea how to purchase a bus ticket.
This is my first experience, and thinking that
it should be an easy task I went ......
When I arrived there, I was confronted by at least
4 shabbily dressed touts trying to convince me
that Raya tickets are all sold out. They were
like forming a barricade around me and following
me from counter to counter. Each of them
tried to advise me to follow them
to ensure getting a ticket. Called Cheryl
whose line was like impossible to connect.
Then, I realised I had a good friend who works
for a bus company. He advised me to buy
my tickets from Causeway Link Express.
I made my way to the counter with
no casualties, as I felt that these rude touts
somehow knew that I had no idea as how
buy this ticket...Phew what an achievement!
It was certainly a good experience, not for the faint hearted though!
Do it again? Yeah, why not this time I bring a parang!
