Stephanie: Public transport has its drawbacks. I used to lament the often ridiculous prices (how are we expected to ‘go green’ when the bus fares are extortionate, the services unreliable and the ride uncomfortable?) However, these complaints have been downgraded to a bearable inconvenience in comparison to my latest pet-hate. I am of course referring to the recent epidemic of mobile-phone-stereos, which play incessantly on each and every commute. The tinny sound of music played too loud through inadequate speakers is coupled with the dire quality of the music, which for some unknown reason always features a high pitched chipmunk-esque voice squeaking to a reptitive and irritating beat. There’s no cure for this rapidly spreading disease of inconsiderate passengers I’m sure, but perhaps I might release some pent up bus-rage, and breathe easier when it happens again tomorrow.
