And speaking of English on the buses

A while ago I started writing an article with the following opening: 
If all the people who commute to work in the morning in Thailand would take an English-learning tutorial on their smart phone while travelling to and from work, it could initiate a silent citizen-initiated language-specific education reform. It would additionally have a positive impact on our badly needed English-speaking workforce. 
Due to some inconsistencies, the article did not make it to the presses, so a valuable and useful idea/tip didn’t reach the stakeholders, resulting in high-running feelings in Bangkok’s bus-identification issue. Well, I don’t know if it would have done any good, but it was worth a try.
