Public Transportâs Cosmic Joke
Thereâs a universal truth weâve all experienced, yet science refuses to acknowledge it: public transport operates on a quantum schedule. It's late only when you're early, and right on timeâor worse, earlyâwhen youâre late. This phenomenon isnât a glitch in the system. Itâs personal.
The Great Cosmic Punishment
Picture this: youâve actually made it out the door on time, after battling through an existential crisis, a broken coffee machine, and that one sock that vanished into a parallel dimension. You reach the bus stop with seconds to spare, triumphant, only to see the dreaded âDelayedâ sign. Itâs not a minor delay either. No, itâs a soul-sapping, life-reconsidering wait. The transport gods are laughing at your punctuality.
On the flip side, when youâve overslept or decided to push your luck with âjust one more episode,â the universe flips the script. You sprint towards the stop, praying to any deity who will listen, only to see the bus zoom past you like itâs auditioning for Fast & Furious 12. You swear the driver smirked.
Is It a Conspiracy?
While transit systems claim their schedules are dictated by traffic patterns and logistical hurdles, we know better. This is a psychological war waged by fate itself. The more you need that train to be on time, the higher the chance itâs stuck behind a mysterious âsignal issue.â
When you're running late, though, Murphy's Law dictates that everything else works perfectly. Trains are suddenly punctual. Traffic evaporates. Even the ticket machine seems unusually cooperative. The universe rubs salt into your wounds by aligning itself just to prove your tardiness was the problem all along.
Coping Strategies
Since public transport isnât going to change, we must adapt. Here are some tongue-in-cheek strategies for beating the cosmic joke:
Be Late on Purpose: If the train's going to show up when youâre late anyway, why not embrace it? Pretend youâre a laid-back, tardy traveler and let the transport gods adjust their timing to spite you.
Reverse Psychology: Start acting like you donât care about being on time. If fate senses youâre unbothered, it might lose interest in tormenting you.
Meditate on Chaos: Accept that public transport operates in its own dimension, one that pays no heed to human schedules. This Zen-like attitude wonât get you there faster, but itâll save you from a stress-induced aneurysm.
Final Thoughts
Public transportâs peculiar timing isnât just a quirkâitâs a reminder that weâre not in control of everything. Sometimes, we just have to laugh (or cry) at the irony and roll with it. Next time the bus is late, take a breath, sip your overpriced coffee, and remind yourself: at least youâve got a story to tell.

Pipelines und Airlines drehen von West nach Ost â und dies seit 20 Jahren
Pipelines und Airlines drehen von West nach Ost â und dies seit 20 Jahren https://de.rt.com/meinung/134958-pipelines-und-airlines-drehen-von-west-nach-ost/
Es sind die westsibirischen Erdölfelder, die fĂŒr die Versorgung europĂ€ischer, aber auch nahöstlicher Importeure, wie die TĂŒrkei, mit fossilen EnergietrĂ€gern genutzt werden. Von hier aus wurden auch in den letzten Jahrzehnten die Leitungen in Richtung Westen errichtet. Infolge der Transitprobleme via Ukraine 2006 und noch heftiger 2008, wurden nach Alternativen gesucht. Das Thema Diversifizierung wurde immer konkreter, und zwar sowohl aus Sicht der Importeure wie auch der Exporteure. Dazu zĂ€hlten auch direkte Verbindung unter Umgehung der TransitlĂ€nder.
Doch wurde das Projekt South Stream ĂŒber das Schwarze Meer kurz vor der Bauphase im Juni 2014 von der EuropĂ€ischen Kommission gestoppt, so wurde Nord Stream 2 als erweiterte Leitung der bestehenden Röhren nach Fertigstellung in der Zertifizierungsphase suspendiert. Der Auslöser hierfĂŒr war der russische Einmarsch in die Ukraine am 24. Februar. Ich hatte bereits 2018 meine Sorge bekundet, dass diese Pipeline allen Schwierigkeiten zum Trotz fertigstellt, aber vielleicht nie in Betrieb genommen wĂŒrde. So geschah es denn auch. Der politische Druck der USA gegen diese Leitung war seit Jahren heftig. Der militĂ€rische Konflikt brachte den idealen Auslöser aus US-Sicht, die deutsche Bundesregierung legte die Pipeline auf Eis. Meines Erachtens wird sie nie in Betrieb gehen.

Top 5 moment in passenger interactions today
Setting: I am driving the bus and have just stopped at a bus stop. Passenger: Excuse me, do you know where this bus is going? My thought process: "Did this person actually just ask if I knew where the bus I'm driving is going? This is ridiculous." Me out loud: Nope. I'm just sort of driving around and seeing what happens. The passenger now has an absolutely horrified facial expression. Me out loud: I'm totally kidding -insert me telling her all of the places the bus goes- Passenger: Why didn't you say that in the first place? Me out loud: I thought it was kind of funny that you asked if I knew where the bus was going, of course I do, I'm driving it! Passenger: I see... I don't appreciate that type of humour. -passenger gets off bus-
I couldn't even help myself, I started laughing while she was probably still within earshot. Who asks if the drivers knows where the bus is going? They don't just give us a bus and say "okay, have fun, just make sure you hit up a bus stop or two!" Silly people.
