Volume 3 Chapter 64 - Medium sized Magic Passenger Car (1/2)

From the distant corner, what slowly came to the stop wasn’t the same horse carriage that he was familiar with. Rather it was a white and green iron box that was rectangular with a width and height of three meters and a length of five to six meters!

This giant iron box had green tilted square glass windows that were reflecting the light of the morning sun. It created a slightly green glow as it headed over.

Seeing this strange sight, many people were shocked.

When that giant iron box stopped in front of everyone, one person suddenly reacted and loudly shouted, “I remember now, this is that medium sized Magic Passenger Car that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce has just invented for transporting people!”

With this reminder, everyone started reacting.

“Right, right, the «Banta Times» had reported this a while back, how could I forget?”

“Ha, ha, so it was the medium sized Magic Passenger Car. It doesn’t seem like the picture in the «Banta Times» at all, so I didn’t recognize it.”

“That’s right, I couldn’t see anything from the picture in the «Banta Times», but seeing it now, hei. Although it does seem a bit rough, it does seem solid.”

“Right, this thing was made by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it should be as solid as the other magic machines, right?”

“You’ll know once you get on.”

When this was said, everyone woke up and began heading towards the open door in front of them.

When they entered this medium Magic Passenger Car, everyone found that the space inside was much bigger than the horse carriages from before.

There were over ten people at this stop and if it was the public transportation horse carriage from before, they would have filled a single horse carriage without any extra space.

But in this medium sized Magic Passenger Car, there was a large space to freely move around in.

Moreover, there were rows of seats that one could easily fit in. After they entered the vehicle, almost everyone could easily find a seat to sit in.

“Not bad, it’s quite cool.” Mercado sat down in a seat by the window and feeling the sensation from under his butt, he gave a satisfied praise.

The seat should be made of plastic, it should have been made by the Night Song Tribe plastic processing factory that the citizens of Banta City were gradually becoming familiar with. It felt cool to sit on, it was perfect for winter.

When everyone was looking around, the person who was sitting in the first seat on the left side of the Magic Passenger Car turned around and shouted to everyone, “Hey, you guys, don’t just look at the car and pay the fare first!”

Everyone was stunned before looking at that person. They noticed that this person was the public transport carriage driver that they were familiar with, Krush.

After being surprised, everyone broke out in laughter. Then one person asked in a worried voice, “Hey, Krush, this medium sized Magic Passenger Car seems better than the horse carriage from before. Does that mean the fare is more expensive now?”

Hearing this question, the others looked at Krush with concerned looks.

Compared to what this medium sized Magic Passenger Car looked like, this was the question they cared about the most.

Krush curled his lips before saying with a laugh, “Relax, although the carriage has changed, the fare has actually dropped. If you’re riding from here to the Sandton industrial district, the fare has gone down from three silver coins to two silver coins.”

Hearing that the price had dropped, everyone let out a sigh of relief even though they were surprised. They praised the Fersen Carriage Company for being a company with a conscience. They had changed to a better vehicle, but the fare had decreased instead.

However, Krush added in, “But I must remind you, this public transport line now has unmanned fees. As long as you get in the car, you have to throw two silver coins into this box. It’s two silver coins no matter where you go, it won’t be more or less.”

Everyone looked at the box that Krush was pointing at beside him and Mercado couldn’t help asking, “Then you’re saying that if I’m only heading two stops up, it still costs two silver coins?”

Krush replied with a nod, “That’s right.”

“Ah? Isn’t this too much?”

“That’s right, it costs two silver coins for a little bit of road, it’s too expensive. I might as well walk.”

“Hey, I just said that the Fersen Carriage Company was a company with a conscience and now it’s this black hearted. Are you playing me?”

……

Hearing everyone’s arguments, Krush said with a laugh, “If you’re not satisfied with this price, that’s fine. You can get off and ride a public transport horse carriage, it still follows the same price as before. But don’t blame me for not reminding you when you regret it later.”
