Oh I see... He certainly deserves the praise.
But I experienced a rather interesting bus-driver onboard 198 to
school. He's a regular 198 bus driver but I'm not sure what
shift he's on. He greets everyone onboard the bus as well. So
I suppose that's a good gesture.
But the smile grin on his face evolved to a menacing
threatening look once he hears double-beeps when a
student/concession card is being tapped. Not matter how packed the
bus is, when he hears that sound, he will demand very loudly, (so
that everyone will turn their head and see what happen) for the
ez-link card to be shown. He will make sure that he checks ALL
student cards. He literally takes the card from you and look at it
for 3 seconds before returning it to you. Really admire
those who tapped using their adult cards; they
proceeded on to their seats with a breeze.
As a result, the poor me and other students had to queue up and
surrender our cards mercifully under his command. I know that's his
job and he has the right to do so... but.. it just doesn't make my
day, expecially when I board his bus in the early hours of the
morning; because of his rude gesture when demanding for my card
although he greets us rather sarcastically after he checks
them.
Should he be given an award for efficiency to save the bus
inspector's time on checking the cards? My friends and I feel that
it's high time that he gets it. But, alas, no matter how much
"effort" he has put in to forcefully check our cards, there's
nothing on his collar.
i've known of this guy since 1993 driving svc 198... long time
drive 198 one. thhat day in 1993 i baorded his LA and he
greeted me. Very nice ..And i observe he greet everyone else
