Mum favourite transport

I always thought my mum liked to sit in my car.... but i realised only yesterday that she sat in my car only coz she wanted me to be happy and i insisted that i send her around... She was a simple person and she actually enjoyed taking the bus and watching the different people boarding the bus and watching the scenery as the bus travels along...

I took the bus yesterday with my dad and brother together to Toa Payoh... I realised how long i have not taken a bus with my family... Years.... The feeling was familiar and heartwarming... How i wish my mum was on the same bus as me... My father started telling me and my brother of how my mum normally chooses the bus to take...

Mum would never take buses that have steps that are too high at the exit door. As she would have to jump down onto the road before stepping up to the platform again. Given that her legs were weak, this was something she would choose to avoid... Sometimes mum could wait for 2 or 3 of the same number bus to pass by and would only go up on one that was newer and had lower steps... It pains me to know that....

And sometimes when it rains, she cant use the pedestrain crossing, she would need to climb the overhead bridge... I have seen how she used to climb the steps up to our house on the second storey and she was already struggling and i cant imagine how she could climb so many steps on the overhead bridge...
