Back in the days when we started going for hospital postings newly after passing our second professional exam, things were still good then so we enjoyed travelling in the buses sitting in three's but then things started getting more tough and everyone was looking out for a survival route.
It's in this tough era that many dramas started playing out at the car park station, hehe.
The drivers were looking for a way out to still be in the business and make gain too so they started carrying four passengers in a row....
The problem here is that they increased the numbers of passengers meant to sit in a row but they didn't increase the bus length... not as if it there was a way they would have done that too, lol.
Because of this new development, people started avoiding entering the back seat of the bus to the extent that when you come back and that's the only space remaining, you will opt to wait for the next bus to fill up before you leave.
This always gets the car loaders and the bus drivers irritated but then we are wearing white and it's your money so no one can beat you for your choice, hehe.

So one particular day, the car loader was doing his job happily and it was remaining the last seat as usual when we came out... about six of us.
The man said it's remaining one person for the bus to get filled up so one of us hurriedly checked and it was at the back seat and she hurriedly came out..
The car loader: Enter so that you will go immediately, there is no time
The girl: Sir, I can't enter at the back please
The car loader: But the back of the bus also gets to the hospital
At him saying this, everyone started laughing because of the way he said it, then the girl was very fast also to say...
The girl: But even fishes are packed in two's in Sardines/Geisha cans, so why are you jampacking us four in a roll, hehehe.
What a comeback, hehe
At this everyone bursted out in laughter... It was really an eventful morning, hehe.
That wasn't the end,
Not long enough, a fat woman came and was heading to the hospital which means she will be entering the same bus with us.....
The woman: Is there still space for me to enter
The car loader: Yes Ma
The woman was in a hurry so she didn't care about the space been in the back of the vehicle... She entered and brought out her 300Naira which was the price every other person paid
The car loader: Madam complete the money
The woman: surprised, Isn't the transportation fare 300Naira anymore?
The car loader: can't you see you're occupying two spaces...
That student (pointing at my classmate) wanted to enter but she can't enter again because you've taken the whole space... Pay for the seats please
At this point, we all knew the man was out for the passengers that very day
We didn't see what happened at the end as we needed to get a space in our new bus before we sit at the back... Maybe this time, the back of the vehicle won't reach our destination
Thanks for reading and happy Sunday 👍
