Super generous bus driver???

Hi people,

It's nice to be back in this forum. I just want to share my very interesting bus ride experience this morning rush hour going to our office. I take bus no. 90 (SBS392#)

So, from Toa Pa yo bus interchange the bus was already full and even the stare case near to the driver also somebody standing on it. Then he start to drive... we stop in the first bus stop even nobody press the button then he open and ask us to move to the rear of the bus, but nobody go down so how to move to the rear of the bus, nobody go out... nobody can come in... then the next bus stop again same thing happen, he stop open the door and ask to move but nobody is going out from the bus. You cannot move until you touch somebody's ass it's a big trouble if you touch the pretty girl in front of you even the auntie also will slap you if you touch her.

I'm just wondering if the bus drive is to generous to the passenger waiting at the bus stop that he don't want them to be upset on him without minding the passengers that he had in the bus which already packed like sardines. He can wave his hand to show that he was already full...the worst was he even que in the bus stop and open and close again...and I feel very frustrated with this kind of mentality of a bus driver... I could not understand why his doing that unnecessary stops.

Simple. Bus drivers nowadays are hum-ji. They dont want to get any passenger's complaints. If they dont get any complaints for 2 weeks or so, they get a bonus of $50 every 2 weeks or so.

because if bus did not stop. Commuters at bus stops may take down vehicle plate no and complain. The bus driver you see just happened to the one of the most hum-ji ones around. Some bus drivers bo chup the bonus one.

logically, I think the bus should drive on if the bus is already full and no one show the intention of alighting at the bus stops...For me, I would not board a bus which is already full....

First thing I think when the bus already full from the bus interchange was I've got a non stop ride until somebody wants to come down from the bus, that's why I don't mind standing as long as I have a smooth ride but at that moment I was wrong and very irritated and I want to ask the driver why he did that but I just control myself, I don't want to spoil my day.

I think he wants to see if any more passengers would be willing to squeeze on the bus at those bus stops.

Anyway wrong forum.

are u sure? if not, get your facts right.

1 complaint = - $25 salary.

bonus is every quarter. no complaint + no mc.
