People's reaction to the public bus in Qatar

18 March 2019

First time impressed listening how people raised voice for the sake of public properties and health awareness

It was the matter of 17 March 2019 that I felt how aware people are and raise voice for the sake of public properties and public health too. I am first time impressed seeing how people love the public properties and how aware people are. It was the matter of public bus travelling in Qatar. Coincidentally the bus in which I was travelling to head to my destination to Muaither from Doha was driven by my a young neighbor whom I have not known before. While talking each other we felt if we were in our yard. After 50 minutes driving two young passengers with black complexion, didn't know about their nationalities complained to the driver that a guy was spitting inside the bus. It's a public bus. They said proudly and they compelled the driver to see what the man was doing. No one is allowed to spite inside and outside. They said. They were furious. First I felt how arrogant they were. Why they raised voice very forcefully why not in humility. They could complain in a low voice but with big sound.

I was stunned by their speech. The young guy who spit there was speechless and said nothing. When they got down from the bus, I talked to the passenger who was from Sudan about them. What about issue they raised was really genuine and rational but their presentation was wrong. They could complain it in a sweet tone. My surprising is that they feel proud travelling on a public bus and it's their duty to save it too. The revolution is fostering everywhere in the world. During the time of revolution, people destroy infrastructure, vehicles and others is regrettable. Raising voice of the voiceless and for the sake of nation and its people is a holy job. But the holy can be holy if it respects all. The greatest and respectful revolution in the human society is to be peaceful. To make it peaceful, avoiding or boycotting the regulation that is pervasive in every corner but the government may in its favour and it may be harming to the general public. Everyone should have strength to complain if it is done by a general people or by the government. The government of each nation is the assistant of the people but not the master. What public command them, they should perform. Instead of respecting to the general people if they feel they are masters of people, every citizen has to raise voice against them as two passengers raised the issue of spitting in the bus. His spitting might not affect to them it's because they were living in different row and behind him .They could be silent but they didn't. They felt that if the man was spitting over them its because it was a public property and must be saved and respected by all.

Travelling on a public bus is very wonderful here in Qatar. If anyone travels in a taxi, his/her journey can be faster but he/she cannot see the sights around but if travelling by bus is relaxing and can see the scene around. The passenger should have smart card. It is prepaid service for travelling. Travelling without smart card is offensive. Everyone can get it if he pays QR 30. The bus reaches every stand and never stops at the place where there is no stand. They leave and arrive in time. It seems everything is working smoothly. The one who is in the habit of having Surti should be aware of it it's because they are in the habit of spitting time and again is offensive. How great awareness is here for the sake of public properties.
