Commuting in rush hour is an exhausting experience for office workers. With
the opening of new subways, more and more commuters will ride the rails. Some
people may spend one to two hours on the train, so
knowing how to kill time
while on board is critical.
Popular portable Play Station
"Without a Play Station Portable (PSP), a subway ride feels more like a
traffic jam," one netizen wrote in a survey on ways to kill subway time; 37 of
the 53 respondents echoed his sentiments. The PSP is a portable game console
manufactured and marketed by Sony Computer Entertainment. One can not only play
games, but also listen to music, browse images, read e-books and watch movies
and TV series.
"I live in Liujiayao and work in Wudaokou. I spend more than one hour on
subway line 5 every day. I'm afraid of falling asleep and missing my stop, so I
play PSP to keep me awaken. It makes the one-hour-journey shorter," Liu Jianing,
an IT worker, said. Liu said most of his friends like to play games during their
commute. Men liked to play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja
and Ridge Racer. Women prefer to play LocoRoco.
**Tips
If your subway journey is less than 10 minutes, small flash games like ZUMA
are best.
If you will be on the rain for 30 minutes, then consider Ridge Racer or
Naruto.
If the journey is more than an hour, you can download movies and TV series.
You can download games, music, movies and TV series from the following Web
sites:
psp.tgbus.com
psp.chinaba.com
Making friends on Bluetooth
Song Wuyi recently published An Office Worker's Love Adventure, the story of
how a commuter with the same name found a girlfriend on the subway using
Bluetooth. He first met the girl, Candy, while on the subway, where they
communicated using the Bluetooth in their phones.
Bluetooth is a wireless network to connect and exchange information between
mobile phones. Subway line 5 makes a signal available to the mobile phones.
Passengers can make phone calls and send messages on the subway.
"The Bluetooth service can make the communication with a stranger less
embarrassing. For example, if I see a skirt I like, I can ask the passenger
where she bought it. Of course, she would need a mobile phone with Bluetooth,"
Ding Yi, a clerk in a bank, said.
