Road transportion is one means of transportation I find really interesting aside the insecurity and bad road that makes the journey really stressful here in my country.
I have had really nice experience while enjoying the sight and people with different characters, background, and personality that we boarded the same bus together.
One of the most memorable one was when I had to travel to Benue state with my baby to collect my certificate. I and my friends boarded the same car to make the journey fun and plus we had a lot to catching up to do after a long time apart (after school)
I was the first to arrive at the park, I didn't know that the main park was inside I distracted by one man who quickly rushed to assist me with my bag and was asking where I was going to, I told him and he directed me to go get my ticket from lady.
I paid for myself and my other friends just so we are comfortable and are in the same car.
The driver took us to the mechanic to fix his car and wanted us to wait till they are done fixing it.
We waited a while till the bus was filled up and we left, while on our way I noticed that the car was full with smoke and making some funny sound.
Nobody was ready to talk to the driver about it and we here just three ladies in the bus, I was so uncomfortable because my baby was breathing in that smoke and coughing as well.
I immediately took action and asked the driver to stop and call the company to replace the vehicle or refund us. He wasn't will to accept that his car has fault and he also doesn't want to stop.
So I waited till we get to a check point and I told him I was going to report him to the soldiers at the check point, the men in the bus started apologizing on his behalf. Quickly this bus driver looked for a place to park and started making calls for a replacement.
Finally we were moved to another bus that was better and convenient for us, because of the delay we arrived late and so I we had to lodge in a hotel till the next day.
It wasn't a funny experience since then I promised myself never to use that transport company again.
