kelvintwt SG

it seems like Hello Kitty isn't talking any reason by saying

"me tell u lah, the best way to solve dis prob is to, totally, eradicate bus enthusiasm."

Hello Kitty SG

stop behavin like an idiot.

u, urself, knw wat made the accused behave in such a manner.

Rk 2010 SG

agreed. i rather everyone is treated equally or as you said, seeing ourselves as one, rather than seeing a fine borderlining between seniors and juniors, when there are not much interactions between them.

i guess this is a good point. but will this work

me tell u lah, the best way to solve dis prob is to, totally, eradicate bus enthusiasm.

Ok...so i will give you an example. If some people commits a mistake in their favourite hobby, e.g. being fans of Hello Kitty and they made themselves a nuisance at a Hello Kitty event, should the Hello Kitty hobby be eradicated too? Think before you talk.

By your logic, it means that every enthusiasm, hobby and interest should be totally eradicated if a problem arises. We are not perfect beings.

As i have pointed out, its another lesson learned and this adds to the experiences of the hobbyist. Unless the offender had been warned several times, if not, they should deserve another chance.

Hello Kitty SG

den me wun hv to spend so much time & $$$ le.

& disgustin gers one less chance to act cute by pretendin to like hello kitty.

In Hong Kong, which is ironically a place where the bus enthusiast culture is thriving, it is an offence against the law to speak to the bus captain when the bus is in motion.

Dear forumites,

im not flaming anyone but if this topic offends you, i apologize to you in advance..

i was onboard 171 towards yishun (smb63d), journey at around 6.15-7pm today.. there were 3 boys (2 chinese aged approx 12 and 15 and 1 malay aged approx 15) onboard as well.. the malay boy was sitting right behind the driver directly and the 2 chinese boys were standing next to the driver.. asking sl questions and talking to him through out the journey..

if the 3 of you are sgforum forumites, pls take note / consider these important factors when you are having a joyride..

- you are blocking passengers from boarding the bus smoothly..

- you are diverting the drivers concentration by talking and asking him all the gadgets and equipments at the front dash though out the journey.. all passengers' life are in his hands.. and it was peak hour and there are about 30-40 pax onboard at any one time through out my journey from bt panjang to chong pang..

- if someone makes a complaint, i can confidently say that he may be liable to be sacked by smrt.. don ask me why and how i know..

i know that i may have stopped the 2 boys but pls i din wanna embarrass the 2 of them in front of peak hour crowd..

so please consider your actions when you are having joyrides..

I don't see, in anyway, directly or indirectly, that this matter gets on your nerves. What's the use of making one thread to blow so much matters up. There's no more space in the first page due to the many stickies. Unless you are trying to tell me that you are the kind of people that is sensitive. Fine, I admit that I was the chinese boy you mentioned earlier on. We didn't talk very loud. If the driver is annoyed by or talking or disturbing his driving, he would have told us way beforehand and we would obey him. Fine, I let you win, if you think that you are right, go ahead. I rather let the matter be solved quickly than letting it drag and affect our daily lives. I want this problem to be solved quickly. I'm really sorry that this trivial matter has become a blown up matter and resulted in a new thread in the forums. If you really want to pursue the matter, I can't stop you also, I only can hope that this matter won't affect our daily lives. Please, I kneel before you, think before you create a new thread, what impact will cause us in the forums. If you think embarrassing us in the bus isn't right then why are you posting this kind of thread in the forums?

If you really want to talk to any SLs or BCs while in the bus, you have to know your limits well, do not cross the line. Don't talk when the bus is fully packed to the brim or for the entire journey. The best thing is to sit in the front (if you can find any) then you can talk to the BCs directly without standing in front of the drivers cabin and to obstruct the passageway when the entrance door is open to pick up passengers from any bus stop (i.e. Bus hogging). Should the SL or BC rejects your decision, DO NOT KEEP PESTERING ANY OF THE DRIVERS as they might get annoyed or distracted throughout the whole journey.

And lastly, do limit yourself a max of 5 mins. Please take my advice seriously.

I believe that you & group were in the wrong in the first place for this. I also believe manjieass is being too sensitive. Even though you and most of us believe this rule set by SMRT management that nobody should talk to the driver when he is driving is ridiculous (Yes I find it ridiculous), it's still a rule after all which I think we should all abide by, regardless of how stupid you think the rule is.

Please spare a thought for that driver who has been under YSRG for less than 5 months.

Fine, I submit. Problem solved? I really pei fu the TS for making such thread to diu our lian. Anyway, if the problem solved, mods please lock topic.

TS, I know it's nice to bully small kids. Nice right? Feel good inside you. I tell you, we may be kids, but we also have feelings, we got a brain. How would you feel, if something similar happen to you when you were young? Yes, you might have a hard time off work, angry and this gets on your nerves. But, I ask you this, what right does it gives you to exposed us so badly in the forums? If you think you want to have a score to settle, settle when the bus isn't so full.

Just by "submitting", do you think the problem will really be solved? I give you the worse case scenario now. A passenger complains into SMRT Customer Relations that there are a bunch of boys "distracting the driver in the course of his work", what is the outcome then? You get away scot-free since you are not bounded by contract terms of SMRT, but what happens to the driver? I reiterate my point that this driver has only been in SMRT for less than 5 months and anything can cause him to lose his job. Do you want to be the one that makes the driver suffer?

Yes you apologise. But are there any steps taken to ENSURE that it won't happen again? I suggest that you reflect on your personal boundaries as a bus enthusiast, what to do and what nots, and what is the boundary line which you can touch BUT not step over. Yes you may feel that manjieass created a din by starting this topic, but I still believe he did it to give you people a chance. You should be lucky that he is giving you a chance and not reporting it to the management, just imagine that the person onboard the bus isn't manjieass but someone senior from the management who just happens to have his off-day and is taking the bus. And that's the end of the driver's job. So you like that?

You, as someone who is in the spotlight for doing such unnecessary things, should feel remorseful and not still be so ignorant as to feel that someone is trying to spoil your enthusiam in this hobby. I rather manjieass knocks some sense into you NOW than LATER when that driver gets something distasteful thanks to you.
