“排隊等巴士 Queue up and wait for the bus” / 香港夜人流 Hong Kong Nighttime Human Logistics / SML.20130317.7D.35558.BW
Recently I came across a WTF question on Quora asking why queuing in China is less orderly than most Western countries [1]. Really? Seriously? I never witnessed this behavior in China. Often people in Hong Kong queue up better than any queues I have seen in the US.
Pictured is the queuing at bus stops at night. Most of these buses arrive completely empty, making the act of queuing completely unnecessary, but people do queue up regardless. Since queuing is unnecessary, I usually don’t and I usually take my time to run around the neighborhood doing photography until the bus arrives and I will wait til everybody is aboard before getting on.
Perhaps that would make me “less orderly” but I am not normal and certainly in this photo you would see that people do line up very orderly. Point.
