Funny Fail: Public Transit Passenger Traps

  1. Trapped at the Entrance on HK Tram

    One day during rush hour I waited for a tram at a station where stood a few people and an old lady with a trolley. When the tram arrived, we all boarded and I was the last one who stood on the bottom stair.

    When the tram was about to leave, it shut its door behind me and, surprisingly, there were gates in front of me and it closed. (I WAS TRAPPED! LOL! And forgive me cos' it was the first time I had ever boarded the new tram, I didn't know it had gates like that.)

    What's more hilarious is that after being trapped, those people in front of me slowly moved inside the cabin as the old lady with her trolley found its way to the upper deck, and there I was alone at the door... LOL

    I couldn't imagine what the people waiting at the next station were thinking when they saw me standing there alone at the door. In fact I can't even know it because I was standing facing inside with my butt facing them.

  2. Trapped on HK MTR train

    The college I goes to locates at Kowloon Tong. As I do not reside at the dorm and lives in Central, I have to travel from Central to Kowloon Tong almost every week day. But there was one thing that I hadn't realized about those MTR stations on the way until one day...

    That day after school I boarded the train from Kowloon Tong to Mongkok, and then to make a transfer to board another train to Central, just as usual. When I boarded the train in Mongkok, there was a middle-aged guy who rushed into the cabin, and unexpectedly his shirt was caught by the doors when they closed. But it was too thin to alarm the door sensor so the door didn't open again and he just stood there.

    To my very surprise, the next few stations, Yau Ma Tei, Jordan and Tsim Sha Tsui, all have their doors opened on the same side, which is the opposite side of where the man was being trapped. LOL

    The funniest thing was that the number of passengers on board was declining station after station that there were many empty seats, but there he was, standing in front of the door pretending to be just chilling LOL (Poor guy. Maybe he had missed his destined station.)
