Weird, No destos on bus but with passengers

from straitstime online forum Also, given that it is a busy time and period, why has SBS not increased the frequency of the service to cope with the heavy tr...

there are red stickers on the steps stating "NO STANDING ON STEPS". BC by right should not have allowed anymore pax to board the overcrowded bus.

but i think he's worried even when the next bus arrives may still unable to cope with the load, and also worried that pax waste their time waiting for the next bus and become frustrated and late for work or school. but spending 8 mins at one bus-stop to do just that is ridiculuous.

slightly off topic; the original licence capacity for eg the MBO405 buses was 47 sitting and 28 standing. but was later revised to 47 sitting and 36 standing without any obvious interior layout changes. i think the intention was to prevent people from challenging the stated capacity and actual carrying load.

Normally I see BCs/SLs asking pax to scan infront and board from exit. Until everywhere is filled.

There was a huge traffic jam when I was onboard TIB937E on 167 near Fullerton at 0012 hrs. 3 Scanias were bunching each other on 100 and they are all fully loaded with pax. Reason for Jam. A safety Barrier got knocked down and all the people rush onto the roads like the road is closed. Bus got stuck for 30 mins plus. BC headache, Traffic Police also headache Laughing

But there were teenagers knocking the bus body and I have to shout, 'Stop Knocking!', to them and one scold the f#$%@# word. Mad Mad Mad Mad

BC turn off the EDS lighting. The words are there but the lights are not.

The BC is female driving last bus to Sembawang. Doing 167PM01 timetable if i'm not wrong. Arrive at SEmbawang at 1:50 am.

SPF is poor in doing this year's crowd control. Do you know how many thousands of people were waiting to get out of the area? I suggest they should simply seal off the entire road in the area to prevent traffic jams, or maybe only allow public transport and emergency vehicles through only (except taxis).

Road Closure area should border at Marina Blvd, Finlayson Green, D'almeida St, Malacca St, Market St, Chulia St. This is south of Singapore River. North should comprise of Parliament Lane, St Andrew's Rd, Raffles Ave, Nicoll Highway, Raffles Blvd, Temasek Ave, Raffles Ave.

Until this year they still havent learn their lesson. The countdown to 2007 was somewhat similar.

You asked for the F word yourself.

In the first place who ask you to shout those teenagers? Rolling Eyes

tintinspartan SG

I deemed that inconsiderate, and i'm agaisnt those people who always use those words.

sbst275 SG

In fact you should have STOMPed it

Shouting is of no use

Volvo Olympian SG

So if u find it inconsiderate , Just mind your own business will do , don't be so kaypoh ...

service_238 SG

you will get used to it. There are many things out there u havent seen.

sbst275 SG

Actually you should have reported the matter

wat they're doing in some form is public nuisance for knocking and scolding vulgarities

As abt live to it... I would only say this kind of behaviour is just unacceptable, we wanna be treated like responsible citizens, ought should behave like one

Yesterday I took Svc 36 (SBS 1986A) from T1. Wa.. waited the bus for 20mins (I think because the jam at the city). The BC remove the desto at T2 after reporting at the terminal at T2.

Marvellous ride, BC was late so the BC speed along PIE/ECP, I can confirmed the bus is travelling more than 70km/h.. Wat I pity was those pple waiting for Svc 36 at Marine parade then the bus only stop for alighting passengers and the BC stop the bus a certain distance before the bus stop.

So the trip from Changi Airport to Suntec City was less than 30mins

sbst275 SG

No way buses can travel abt 60kph Rolling Eyes

566117 SG

really? Rolling Eyes

sbst275 SG

heavy vehicles are required to have speed regulating limiters fitted to cap speed at 60kph

unless is light vehicles... then abv 70kph, no speed limited but buzzer will just trigger off

If you want to be beaten up by them then you should shout at them. Mr. Green

For safety, it's always better to keep things to yourself. No need be so kaypoh and find trouble for yourself.
