My Life in Bristol pt 3

 Okay, now to the streets of Bristol, the roads are really small because the cars are parked at the side of road because most of the houses near the street doesn't have a porch.In the end, house owners uses a quarter of the road.

There's only one lane on each side and cyclist can cycle on the road where vehicles used. Somewhat like motorcyclist used in Malaysia but a bicycle instead. Priority was given to them as well as the pedestrians. I feel quite grand when the car stops and let me move. Malaysian doesn't give a shit! LOL

Furthermore, the traffic light gives a signal first before turning green. For example, before it turns green from red, the amber colour will appear together with the read, as a 'get ready' signal. I believe is a good idea instead of the colour change unexpectedly and some drivers are slow at changing gear and may stall the road. They have quite a lot of roundabouts, a really small one too!

Since I stay near the city, the journey took me 30-45 mins to school and the road is really winding and there's emergency brakes too. The bus I took Is Wessex which are 11-15 and 19, this are the few which can bring me to the campus from city center, however they only provide a few bus while the First bus has more coach. I think this is rather sad as students need transport more badly mainly because teenagers doesn't have a car or the parking fees in the campus is pricey (haven't found out the price yet but it was pricey in UCSI) or some just haven't got a driving license yet.

There's so many reason, I believe they should prioritize the students. The First bus is more reliable when is due to reach a station and it has more coach, so if you miss one, you'll get another in 20 mins. Wessex will have to wait half hour to an hour! I've gotten late to class for my first week because of Wessex bus. Lucky they provide free shuttle bus to the uni but it only last for the first 3 weeks, after that I'm on my own! Grrr!

The vehicles here are mostly European brands and quite a lot are convertible, I love that car. Remember I mention the people here are friendly and peaceful? They barely honk at each other unless is necessary and they don't get grumpy and start cussing while giving a middle finger. They're more civilized.

Proceed to part 4.....
