Why Do We Pay Bus Fare For Others? by Impulse80(m): 7:05pm On Jul 12, 2012
I have observed that in this country, when u are on a bus with someone u know, it has become a tradition for you to pay their T-fare as well as yours. My question is why do we do this? Is it a sign of respect or affluence? Thing is, once u are in a bus with someone u know and u dont do this u feel akward and kind of embarrassed .

Its not a sign of affluence or respect,
Rather it underscores the traditional extended family settings of
The average Nigerian family inspite of Western influence.
Its not unuaual in most families to see a father,mother,children,
Father's & Mother's brother& sisters including grandpa & ma.
Your topic is just a fallout of our family system and upbringing,
That tends to want to carry everybody along.
Though with youngsters of these days I wonder if ego does not play a part.
Blessed evening.

When you are in a bus and see anyone you know about to board same bus, find a way to hide your face,either put your face down or something that way the new entrant won't see you and expect/beg/make you board his or her fare.

Btw, would anyone board a bus without having the fare in pocket?stop feeling guilty for the world!
