Sunday : Double Decker
I had taken a ride on a similar bus in 2005 .. by the time I could take my family on it the city had discontinued its services...now on 2011 they brought it back in to service with off course a new bus ... but still the same DOUBLE DECKER . We left our vehicle at Ghandhi Park on Sunday morning ..10:00 am ( initially we planned to be there at 7 ..but you know ( may you don't ) with kids and all .. getting ready on time .. is far stretched ..!!!) Any how the bus came to platform no 1 .. at 10 : 20 am ( promt!!...I am impressed !) .. even before the bus pulled up at the designated spot people rushed in ..was evident there were many like us .. just for the bus ride ! so we did the same too ..hey in Rome be a Roman !!!.. besides if you dont we wont get the front seat upstairs .. I kept pushing dee along to up front and we finally got the front seat ...ok ready .. the bus took off ( hehehe that how you initially felt with a bit of wobbling and all ) at 10: 30 am Below are a few ( a lot !! ) pictures so come and enjoy a high angle view of the Trivandrum city !!
TO THE BEACH !!!
TO THE BEACH !!!
AT THE BEACH : inside shots and outside of the bus
Returning back :
Oh boy that was one trip well done !!!.. its really cost effective .. as the whole trip for the 3 of us just took 30 Rs only !!.. we didn't get off at the beach while the other passengers did .. we just rode back in the same bus again !.. but the conductor said the bus makes a trip every one hour .. so for those who likes to get some beach time .. can do so ... we didn't coz we were there for the bus ride ! .. afterwards we had lunch at Arul Jothi (hmmm .. lovely curd vadai there .. ) making our Sunday " DOUBLE" the fun !!! ..untill next time !!
