STOMPer Teo Boon Kiat was
concerned to see this man dashed across the road and stood on the
divider, just to take photo of a bus at Marine Parade on March
21.

"On March 21, 2012, I
spotted this man in his early 20s in business wear dashing across
the road to the thin divider while I was crossing the bridge at
Marine Parade in the afternoon.
"As I was curious about
why he had dashed across, I observed him from the bridge and saw
him hold a DSLR camera which was pointed towards the direction of
the bus stop.
"I noticed another three
to four people on the bridge taking photos in the same direction
too. Hence, I communicated with the people on the bridge and they
told me that they were taking photos of the
bus.
"When I asked them if the
man down there was taking photos of the bus as well, they replied,
'Yes.'
"While he was taking
photos, there was heavy traffic that was in very close proximity to
him (as shown in the photos).
"He was spotted crossing
back to the divider to take photos of the same bus, service 966
after the service loop, at the same side of the fence that he was
at.
"What if he slips and
falls, or loses his balance and falls onto the
road?
"From my observations, the
man seemed to be very focused on taking the
photos of the
SMRT bus that he did not seem to be bothered about his
safety.
"If the divider is wider,
there may be no problem if he watches out for his safety. He can
also use the bridge like how the other three to four people did for
safety's sake!"
