Njengendwendwe, ndifunde amanqaku amaninzi anditsho ukuba ndifumane njani ukusuka kwiivenkile zeenqwelo-moya eziya kutsala kwaye kungekhona-ngokukufutshane nakwiindawo ezisemadeni ezisemaphandleni usebenzisa izithuthi zikawonkewonke. Ndiye ndafunda amanqaku ambalwa malunga nokuhamba ngeenqwelo zeenqwelo zendawo ngendawo, kodwa wayengaqinisekanga ukuba yayiza kusebenza njani kum.
Uvavanyo lwamaThuthi oluntu
Ndisanda kuhamba ukuya eMidwest ukusuka kwisikhululo sezindiza sikaRonald Reagan iWashington , esineMetrorail yayo, kwaye ndagqiba isigqibo sokuthatha iMetro kwisikhumulo sezindiza endaweni yokuqhuba ngenxa yokuba ndifuna ukufika kwisikhumulo sezindiza njengokuba ikhefu liphela kwaye yazi ukuba kuya kuba zendlela.
Ndapakisha ngenyameko, ndikhethile isikhwama sokukhwela njengento yam yokuthwala ngaphandle kwesikhwama sam sesondo esiqhelekileyo, kuba ndaqonda ukuba ndiza kuba neengxaki zokuqhuba iibhegi ezimbini zokuhamba ngeesondo kwi-Metro Station. Isikhwama sokukhwela sasihleli phezu kwesikhwama sam encinci esinevili, okwenza ukuba inhlanganisela ibe lula ukulawula.
Isitishi esisondeleyo sam Metro ukuya kwindlu yimizuzu engama-25 ukuya kwimizuzu engama-40, ngokuxhomekeke kwisithuthi, ngoko ilungu losapho landihlalisa kwisikhululo. Izikhululo ezininzi zeMetro eWashington, DC, indawo ayinikezeli ukupaka ebusuku (ewe, kuphela ezine), kwaye akulula ukuyithatha ibhasi ukusuka kwindlu yam ukuya kwindawo yam esekelwe kuMetro, ngoko ke ukufumana uncedo lokuqhuba umbane kubalulekile. Izithuthi zikhanya kakuhle, nangona sasishiya ekhaya ngo-7: 15 ekuseni, mhlawumbi ngenxa yokuba abasebenzi abaninzi baseburhulumenteni bafumana ixesha lokuphumla kwixesha lesibini kwisihlobo. Ngaphantsi kweyure, ndahlala kwisihlalo sam saseMetro, ndaya eWashington, DC, nakwi-moya.
Ndiyitshintshe imigca yeMetro eRosslyn kwaye ndandingenanto yokusingatha i-suitcase yam, isikhwama sokukhwela kunye nenkokhelo. Ndandizichukumisa xa ndibona isithuthi esinzima esivela kwisikhumulo sezindiza ukuya kwi DC; ukuthatha iMetro kwakuyiyona nto ikhethekileyo ngolu suku. Iimbalwa ezimbalwa emva koko, ndise-moya.
Xa iPublic Transit iyindlela engcono yokufikelela kwisikhumulo sezindiza?
Uhamba Ngendlela Ephakamileyo Yezithuthi
