Because they are not strong enough to fight/change the system. If I dont bribe an RTO officer to get a DL (which I should have got easily, if the system was not corrupt) I will end up going there at least 2-3 days, wasting my leaves, standing there for hours. And believe me, I will not be having satisfaction of fighting off corruption, instead I will feel lousy for getting treated this way because of my 'honesty'!<BR/><BR/>@astrocrazy2005<BR/>Thanks for visiting my blog! <BR/><BR/>@parijata<BR/>I did not know about bus passes in US.

Greed does not know nationalities.<BR/><BR/>About conductors, there is another reason why conductors write that illegible numerical note behind your ticket. You see, if you ask for your change when you get off the bus, he takes the ticket and gives you the change, but does not give the ticket back. Another customer gets your ticket. I am not the fighting sort, but had once fought for getting my ticket back, to no avail!parijatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17766691048085485541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18492075.post-47604847201321628992007-06-23T04:20:00.000+05:302007-06-23T04:20:00.000+05:30i had the same experinces in hyd wid auto wallahs ...i had the same experinces in hyd wid auto wallahs and buses...astrocrazy2005https://www.blogger.com/profile/10988921294868305185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18492075.post-49833930418843173002007-06-14T00:16:00.000+05:302007-06-14T00:16:00.000+05:30I totally agree iwth you.Autowallahs resort to day...I totally agree iwth you.<BR/>Autowallahs resort to day light robbery.<BR/>I think its not just about saving money...its about beating the system.I have noticed that people who travel without paying the fare are very proud of that fact!<BR/><BR/>We love short cuts.And we dont respect others.We dont think twice about barging in on a long queue...or paying our way out of mess.<BR/>we blame people who take bribes..but I feel that people who pay bribes are just as guilty!krupahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092803153815469691noreply@blogger.com
