I take the public transport to work.Usually its a bus or a sharing rickshaw ( what ever comes first). They are the cheapest mode of transportation than taking a private rickshaw, which would cost you 3 times.
At that point I still was quite ungrateful for the sharing ricks and argued with them if when they would charge me 5-10 bucks more.
Couple of months back I had a surgery and could not take the bus to work and hence HAD to take the private rickshaws. This obviously cost me a bomb. My expenses on travel went from 50 bucks to 200 bucks a day. I had no choice as my health did not permit me to take the bus.
The fare for the rickshaws just got hiked yesterday, which increased my woes.. So today I thought, let me just wait and see if I can get the sharing rick, which I did. The guy was quite adamant and said "Madam it will be 25 rupees" I was thinking in my head ( Fella if you would even say 50 rupees I would have said yes, as it would still be less than the whopping 100 rupees I spend one way)... Its funny how a lil bit of perspective can change the way we look at things...
