Travelling Experience: Public Holidays And Convenient Commuting

During Thadingyut holidays, there are crowded with visitors to and fro for merry making or reunion with the families and friends.

MITV crew has interviewed some commuters about their experience on travelling during holidays.

Commuter, Aye Ma Ma Soe said “I am from Mawlamyine. We came to pay homage pagodas around Bagan during the holidays. We took package tour to Bagan. But now, we would like to go back by train. So we buy Bagan-Yangon ticket for our return trip. It is also very convenient and easy to buy train ticket.”

Meanwhile, some commuters like Nay Win Han faced difficulties in buying bus tickets for his return trip from Bagan, and added that he took train for returning. 

Commuter, Nay Win Han said “As we cannot able to buy bus ticket, we chose to take train for our return trip. We took day trip to Bagan and paid homage to the prominent pagodas around Bagan.”

Most of the visitors finds convenient in buying train ticket, but a commuter from Yangon who visited Bagan suggests more choices of foods apart from traditional restaurants.

Commuter, Moe Moe Aung said “We visited Bagan during Thadingyut holidays. We find it very convenient to travel around Bagan including buying tickets. But we want to have more variety of foods to have different taste.”

This year, two of Thadingyut holidays coincide with the weekends and thus, the Government has added two extra holidays for the public.
