CEBU CITY – A commuter, 19, sophomore at the University of Tomas Osmena (UTO), missed his stop on the way to school yesterday and ended up getting off 100m beyond his intended destination. Although evidence shows the driver was way too slow to react to the clinking of a coin on the handrail, the commuter blamed only himself.

“It’s a known fact that it takes an average of 5 seconds for a jeepney driver to react to clinking sounds, that’s 2 seconds more than it takes to react to the word ‘Para‘”, said the commuter. “I knew this and I obviously made some very wrong decisions.”

The commuter paused for a moment to catch his breath. “I should have yelled ‘Para‘ knowing the odds are for it. Or I could have at least clinked 2 seconds earlier.”

When asked to tell his side of the story, the driver agreed completely with the commuter’s statement. The commuter has, since the incident, committed to counseling at the local “Passenger Syndrome” help center. – DS
