underlying ideology...

I took a 151 home today. What was so special about the bus? The bus did not have seats like normal buses. The interior of the bus was modelled after a bar. So there were comfortable cushioned chairs and the walls were all covered in red carpet. Being on such a bus for the first time, I was naturally quite amused. I was even more impressed when Jinha*n told me that if you turned your bluetooth on, you'll be able to download a song. The other people in the bus looked equally intrigued by the bus. The bus even had its own channel. The television screen was not showing TVMoblie. It was playing MTVs.

There was one thing that the bus lacked was the bell. The bell here refers to the button you press when you want to alight. On normal buses, there are possibly 2-3 within easy reach? But on this bus, there are 2 bells. So what's the ideology that the bus is trying to tell you? I think it's subtly saying that you don't need the bell because you don't feel the need to get off the bus.
