Did you ever experience riding in a trolley? Or do you know what is trolley? This is not the common trolley that we see from the malls and grocery shops.
This trolley is the mean of transportation and earn for a living of people living near the national railroad.
Trolley is made of woods(dos por dos yta) and some durable type of woods and it's operated with gasoline also but with the help of human strength coz they need to pull a piece of strings and wait for the engine to start and even the engine starts you still need to push the trolley manually using you feet.
The trolley has a bearing that serves us tires of it and it will be place on the top of railroad, once the trolley is moving it's like they are igniting and it's a bit noisy there.
The trolley with alot of baggage and passenger
My first ever experience riding a trolley is when the surge of covid pandemic. Why I choose to ride the trolley because of the main reason of fare itself, the fare in a trolley cost 20pesos only coz you are not the only passenger unlike if you choose to ride on a tricke that limited passenger about 2passenger only or worst you are alone then the fare that you need to shoulder is about 125pesos it's a huge amount right, so we need to be practical in this aspects.
Now let me share my experience riding in a trolley, when I sit on it I was like feeling excited and at the same time nervous, then when the driver pull the strings the engine starts it's a signal that it out trip will start, so I hold on tight and it was moving slowly until the normal speed and while on the trip medyo maingay coz of the ignition of the two metals(the bearing and and the railways) but I enjoyed also coz the view is very relaxing coz some parts are ricefields, trees but some are the houses of people who lives near the railroad and the kids are sometimes playing on the railways kaya medyo risky din.
Since the railway is single only so we have this called magbigayan. Just like what I experience, while we are on the trip another trolley is coming and since we are just passenger and no excess baggage we have to give ways to the other trolley which carried many baggage, we move out of the side ways of the railway and the driver of the trolley carry the trolley and move out also of the railways so the other trolley can passed by and after we get back to the trolley and travel again and same scenario will happened many times depend on the trolley that is on the railways.
This is us waiting this trolley to passed by.
