D.I.E Assesment ;A trip from Germany to AUstria

A Trip from Germany to Austria

Description

Once it happened, I was traveling from Frankfurt (Germany) to Innsbruck (Austria). On the way, there was a break for 15 minutes for food and beverages at a gas station. I was lucky to be on time to the bus but some of the people around 10-15 were missing. The driver was on the seat, ready to continue the journey. As soon as the driver started the bus, many people gathered around his cabin and requested him to pause the trip so that the passengers who were missing could get into the bus. The driver did not listen at all and continued the journey. The leftover passengers gave him a call, but he did not answer. Even he did not answer the call of the police. Finally, the police pulled over the bus after an hour and those leftover passengers followed the bus through taxi.

Interpret

After that incident, I came to know the importance of time and people in Germany take it super seriously.  I saw the driver was a bit angry and was quite loud when the other passengers were requesting him to stop the bus. So, no one was able to convince him. The majority of the leftover people were from the non-EU region and maybe they were unknown about German's rules and regulations.

Evaluation

I was a bit worried after that situation and one of the passengers sitting next to me was also missing.  I thought the situation could be easily solved if the driver could wait for them for a while.  On the other hand, I thought the driver did very well because he did not stay overtime which is against the rule. Similarly, he did not pick up the call while he was driving. It is quite difficult to judge the situation but it's always our responsibility to follow the rules of each and every nation.
