Irony - am I using the wrong word or should it be hypocrisy? Public transport is an accessory of transportation, meant to impregnate a sense of convenient accessibility. The purpose of public transport is the rationale by which we take it, is it not? If this rationale is dissuaded by spiking prices and tardy timings,
