How come so many people?

I really got frustrated today, knocked off from work at 6pm, I waited for the bus for 35mins, all in all, 7 buses passed, guess what, all jam packed with people. I only managed to get on board one, and immediately after this bus, there was another one with the same bus no. following behind it. What the heck!!!

The govt said that the bus and train transport companies only make about 1/2 of their revenue from the passenger load, i.e. ticketing, and mostly the rest from advertising and rentals of shops at the train stations.

I think what they don't understand is, if no one patronises these shops or no one sees or reads the advs, what make them think they can make 1/2 of the adv and rentals? It's about people, people and people; no people, no passenger, so no revenue, and no profit!
