Sincerely, some of them drive quite fast and quite
fierce.
The local drivers, especially some malays would take things easy
and play safe. From my rides on Sv 980, i would always see a female
chinese BC driving everytime i go to the Victoria Street Library
every monday. She drives quite ok and she have the tendency of
horning her bus horn at people at the bus stop to alert them
whether they want to flag for her bus or not.
Luckily it was a Dennis Lance, a bus that has a funny, but soft
horn. Wonder if it were to be her driving a KUB, a bus famous
for it's 'bull horn'. :(
For SMRT China BCs, i realised that there is a trend
where they would never put up their rear destos but put the
rear desto on the windscreen. This happens, especially for WLDEP
ones. Good example is Sv 178 where almost half of the day's
fleet do not have their rear destos shown at the rear of the
bus, especially UDs.
Recruiting chinese BCs all have their pros and cons though.
but seriously, don't you prefer faster buses?
i think that the speed of our public buses are too slow, due to
the many stops. (bus stops and traffic lights)
some bus can be late by as much as 20 mins depending on the
traffic conditions. there are relatively emptier stretches of
roads, but when the bus is alr running late, it is kinda of
pointless to insist at continue running at 60km/h
