Competition improves performance, is a fact tried and tested and needs no further verification.
However, that competation can percolate down to such levels of the society and such diversified groups
of people to enable and encourage them to work and earn better needs to be stated with an instance here.
I am a regular commuter taking buses to and fro my workplace five days in a week. There are several alike me who take
up the tedious task of aboarding the public transport to reach their workplace. Neverthless there is always a lookout for better buses!
what qualifies them better than others is based on several chosen criteria by the working class.
a) Buses that are predictably on time
b) Who take up the total travel in as less time as possible.
c) Buses with amicable conductors who offer to tacitly provide you better seats on regular travels by the same one (the concept of brand loyalty comes to play even here!)
d) and never the less are a little comfortable and well ventilated for the fresh morning travel.
Satisfying all the above criteria are a few of them, I a witness to two prominent buses namely "Ray Saheb" & "Raj Kamal".
Both of them have a regular group, rather a hoard of travellers eagerly waiting for either of them to arrive and take them to
their destination. By some tacit rule of law, both of them tend to keep a gap of 10-15 mins between them to avoid collision in terms of regular customers (ie: Clients !)
Today by some stroke of the law, both of them arrived in quick succession only to the overwhelming relief
of the fellow passengers awaiting them with a glitter in their eyes. (Options always seem to appeal..)
Thoughout the course of travel both seemed to take over the other one, reaching stops at more or less same time,
The respective helpers yelling at each other with triumphant spirits to express their zeal to deliver better !
What a competation Sirjee !!
