I have seen this happen before with a route 161 bus too, and twice. I was at Hougang Central Interchange, hoping to catch SBS 9889U that day (no luck at that time, though), and in the one hour I waited, I saw two of them (both double-deck buses), filled with bus captains, coming in from the direction of Upper Serangoon Road.

Hmmm... I frequetly see 179 buses carrying people as well... But I'm not sure who they are... Usually, they are in the evening S shift buses, coming into service from the depot. The people wear home clothes...

Service 72
This indian woman board. she does not pay. the BC told her to pay. She says she no change. BC say she has to alight. and opened the EXIT door. The woman flared up. "I got no change. cannot help ah?" "I going to complain this number". The BC thought for a while, taken aback, close the doors and moved all.

Well, in the sv72 incident, the BC may be in such a shock that its like a high-risk of not being able to concentrate on the road..[/b]

Who she think she is to complain?
1) She's at wrong for not having the correct change but not changing with someone perhaps earlier at the bus stop.
2) How can she expect the driver to help? The driver needs to concentrate on driving!

Anyway, found a Sv158 tix inside Sv985 on monday!

Sometimes they change to BC uniform inside the bus... Mr. Green

Some worse, just put some coins into the coin box( don't know got pay the correct fare or not) & walk away, so BC has to agar the fare & print the bus ticket. But when an Inspetor boards the bus & asks for their tickets, they claim BC didn't print bus ticket for them... Twisted Evil

This happens yesterday when im onboard Sv 172 , a DAF (TIB690R)

The whole bus is slightly crowded and suddenly , at the 3rd bus stop towards CCK , someone bought the small little bird (dunno what is it called) and it's quite irritating , chirp very loudly.... and i felt more irritating becos i sit behind the person , a lot of the passengers stare at the person and the person just smile... Question luckily the person alighted at the (opp Westwood Sec) Bus stop.. relief aft that Laughing

BTW , i thot no pets are allowed in the bus?

SMRT Buses SG

If I'm not wrong, the small little bird that you stated was a type of song bird & I guess its your so-called luck to be on that service 172 at that point of time Rolling Eyes

I think small pets are allowed as long as they are properly caged up but of coz not other bigger pets like dogs (unless those guiding the handicapped)...sometimes, BC also close one eye oso coz don't wish to create trouble Mr. Green

brotherchen1982 SG

Small pets(hamsters & small animals) are allowed on buses if they are properly caged & doesn't pose any threats to others on board the bus.

Volvo Olympian SG

Hmm , i have ever seen someone bringing a puppy on Sv 184 .... and its not caged up Shocked ... that was i think a few months ago

SMRT Buses SG

If the puppy is smalled sized & doesn't give other commuters onboard any problems so shouldn't be a problem...anyway, BC again sometimes close one eye for these small matters Mr. Green

XTransbus SG

hahaha. i dog with its saliva dripping is surely a nonoThe BC would have a hard time cleaning the stains and getting rid of the smell. Anyway never see any stickers inside but stating that no aminals allowed in bus.
strange happenings hmm lemmer recall

Talking about animals on buses, I remembered some years ago when I saw a family of Malay people with a cage on board a bus (can't remember which route, but I think it was either route 969 or 965), and inside the cage was a small kitten.

And I have brought animals up onto the bus before - years ago when I bought a hamster at a pet shop in Yishun. I took a route 859 bus back to my home in Sembawang, and the driver seemed to be making some glances at me every now and then (I was seated at the front), seemingly wanting to make sure my hamster doesn't... ahem... you know, decides to turn into an escape artist while on board a bus.

Volvo Olympian SG

ouch , thats really bad Crying or Very sad

XTransbus SG

surely they go bang and them think “aah? what happened just now ah? eh, how come i’m on the floor??!! wah paiseh aoready”

The first time I've seen this, not sure whether it's unusual though.

Today, at around 4pm onwards, at BNL at the turn between Berth 7 (174, etc) & Berth 8 (179, 180, etc), 2 SBST green men were standing there. Whenever a bus came, they would raise a speed gun radar thing and aim at the bus. It was very obvious. It led to all the buses driving very slowly when approaching that turn! Laughing All the buses coasted at about 5km/h when at the turn... the SBST guys even aimed at an SMRT WA Scania which ignored it and sped through the turn... Shocked There was also one of the pro 179 drivers (the 19min record guy) on 242 x-over. When he left the 242 berth, he accelerated very fast, but once he saw the guys raising the gun, he quickly braked and coasted slowly past the men.

I think it's useless... If they really wanted to catch drivers speeding in the interchange, they shouldn't make it too obvious... Moreover, they seemed too friendly... When the buses drove past them, most of the drivers smiled and waved at the green men...
