Teach the young to be considerate

My friend drives a private bus. He makes a living by transporting workers and students.

Life is difficult for him. Due to competition, he is not able to get a rate for the transport service. He has to meet heavy expenses of running the bus, i.e insurance, road tax, petrol, repairs. He has to work 12 hours or more a day, to cover his expenses and earn enough money to feed his family.

If he is sick, he still has to drive the bus. He works alone and will not be able to get another driver to cover him. He finds little time to rest in his hectic schedule.

His son serves national service. Instead of taking the public transport, he asked his father to fetch him to camp once a week. This is quite inconsiderate of the young man. He should have allowed his father to take a rest.
