last SG · 2008-07-10T14:11:26+00:00

963 service really koyak. I arrived at Woodlands Int at 7.50 pm, and at least 4 SBS161 arrived before my 963 came (TIB 826S) at 8.25 pm. Bleah like that also...

Today at about 8.50 pm, a woman boarded the 963 Bus TIB 826S and refused to pay, saying that if she is caught she'll pay the fine. She seemed quite the angry type.

Trip got delayed as bus driver radioed HQ, but he moved off.

Woman presses bell for Blk 283, Bukit Batok East Ave 3.

Bus stops but doesn't open door. Woman screams, "open the door". Driver radios HQ instead, and after a while the message comes to let the woman off. Bus driver hesitates, but opens the door after an argument.

Woman gets off and shows middle finger at bus.

Heh, I took video, haven't downloaded it yet to see how the quality is like. But I think cannot see her face, only hear her voice.

Let's hope 826S had CCTVs on. Not only will she have to suffer the fine, she'll also be prosecuted for improper behaviour in public.

And why did the SL even allow her to exit in the first place...

TIB537B SG

She's challenging the law. Never got caught for not paying fares before.

she seemed experienced at it ... seasoned fare avoider ... first dun pay, then create a scene, bus driver then radios Bus HQ for help, bus HQ replies to let her off to avoid delaying bus

Yes, the mic that is installed in all SMRT Buses and the new SBS Transit K230UBs have the capability of communication with the OCC.

But about TIB826S, I don't think that bus got any cameras from my observation but will monitor the bus tomorrow. I presume the BC is a perm PM Shift BC.

All SBS Transit buses have mic , speaker for OCC communication

Anything can practically happen nowadays... Svc 189 have frequent fare evaders also, say forget card and the sort...

Including too poor to pay fare also can be a reason. Power.

You know what? Even if everybody who boards the bus pays the correct fare, fare price will ALWAYS go up no matter what! This is because a public company MUST always acheive growth and deliver value to their shareholders!

So be like me and buy comfortdelgro shares and start supporting fare hikes today!

Not really true... If 50, 000 does not pay their fare each day, with an average of $1.20 fare per person, thats $60, 000 a day.

Multiply that into a year, thats 21.9 million in lost profit. Even 10% of that will make a pretty significant figure in the balance sheet.

which will in turn be recovered the following year when the fare becomes 1.50 per pax.. and millions of ppl can do nothing about it and have to pay.. lol..

do you know how insensitive is wat you're saying?

deliver value does not mean good divd or profit, it also goes to how it serves it's customers... if you run a biz, you will end up gone in no time

and you're condoning ppl who dare to evade fares

BeautifulBetty SG

If she was really of unsound mind then I wouldn't bother with her. It would be better to let her off then rather she suddenly ran amok and attacked the passengers endangering their lives. A really mentally disturbed person is more dangerous than than those hooligans.

sbst275 SG

thing is, she openly stated she's not scared of being fined

so you alrdy clearly knew wat's going to happen, I'm not going to bother are you unsound or a hooilgan
