Tricycle Blues

I am not enjoying riding the tricycle. It is not easy commuting via the tricycle. Not a good experience actually. But I would choose it over the jampacked MRT, LRT, or bus.
In a week, it cannot be helped. I would ride a tricycle when the car is under coding. This is because the route that the tricycle pass through is the fastest and easiest one. There is no better choice. It is indeed better than traversing EDSA with its heavy traffic!

Dear Kuya Cezar, (by the way, is he still on the radio?) here are my travails riding a tricycle:

1. When I first boarded a tricycle to the main road where it would lead me to my work, I noticed the bystanders (males hanging around with nothing to do) in front of a store which happens to be in front of the tricycle station looking at my legs, or was it really the legs they're looking at? I suspect it can also be the space between the folded legs and the skirt. I learned not to wear skirts anymore when riding a tricycle.
2. I noticed that the side mirrors of some tricycles are positioned towards the legs again, or the space between the legs and the skirt. What would these drivers gain discovering that the passenger actually wears a panty?
3. I experienced riding along with men who have the habit of rubbing their arms against my arms. When the tricycle is cramped and the space is so little, there are even instances that the arm is landing on my waist, or on the side of my trunk.
   
4. Some drivers are careless. One of them ran over my feet. It was a good thing I was not wearing high heels that time.
5. The tricycle I was riding nearly bumped into a car. The driver seemed to be not himself. Drugged?
6. Once, the passenger beside me talked to me like she was a long time acquaintance. She wanted to tell her life story, I guessed.
7. There was a time that a passenger boarded off and the driver has no change. We have to stop by a store. A driver with no change and a passenger that pays with a P100 peso bill! OMG!
8. Most of the time, my head bangs against the ceiling or the sides of the tricycle. It really hurts.

I still would choose riding a tricycle though. I hate crowds.
