Why Passengers Simply Refuse to Move to the Back of The Bus

charlize SG

The root of many problems is - too many people.

If everybody could find seats on the bus, then there would be no problem.

1) easy to get down if stand at rear door

Definitely sometimes we prefer to stand near the exits cause we are alighting soon. But well, ....

1- Selfish human beings... especially student, foreign talents (who don't understand when we ask them to move).. ['Especially' does not mean everyone of you]

2- Bus interior, design seems not 'inviting' pax to move to the rear.

3- Our new buses are getting more nicer, quiter, comfortable but smaller...

Nobody can solve this issue, it's up to individuals. Unless they can deploy more buses or can design buses with front-middle-rear doors (not really practical though but who knows what might happen in the future)

Live with it.

It helps as the primary reason is that people don’t want to be inconvenienced when wanting to get off. The attitude problem isn’t the main reason I hope. The engines don’t really matter as many of the low floor single deckers like the Citaro and the MANs are available in 3 door form as well.

Actually, because of the lack of demand from LHD countries (mainly ex british territories), there is no 3 door citaros or man low floor chassis or integral buses available yet. Notice that the engine (for citaro and A22) is at the kerb side for us, so unless theres enough demand to redesign every component to fit the other way, it wont happen yet.

Honestly, i dont really know if putting a door at the back everyone will move in. Last night I was on 855, the sl scolded a pax for standing in and blocking the walkway (and listening to her mp3) without any due care for passengers trying to get off. There was ample seats, and more than enough space in the standing area.

Then, i overheard the couple behind saying if they were being scolded, they would scold the sl back and along the lines of "i pay you to drive, i already paid my bus fares so i can stand where i want to stand, u just ****ing drive and keep your mouth shut, thats your job"

So, with this kind of attitude and mentality, would putting a 3rd door really help?

That couple is out of their mind

As if others dun pay fare...

Anything but me...

It's not they're getting smaller, in fact they're marginally wider..

It's all to do w/ a term called ergonomics...

If they don't want to move to the rear, the BC can force them to with warp-speed acceleration..............

Ok, whatever u call them. In other words, the older buses are more spacious, ie more seats etc. Still, it's up to us to move in or not.

Maybe..

i think having a third door would do the trick. but worry is people who go up the rearmost door and don't pay and BC doesnt see.

Right, forgot to think about that. Fare conductors at the back? Haha.
