Young SBS BC Driver

last SG · 2007-09-05T20:06:35+00:00

Yeah, as reflected in the timetable I uploaded, all buses are fixed to the duty/timeslot, with only the BC shifting up one duty every week. Same case for 25...

Yesterday, I boarded Bus 32 (SBS63U) heading for the direction towards Bedok at about 1.30pm during heavy raining.

This BC driver sometimes exceeded 50km/h and kept speeding and speeding. Big water splash can be seen from the windows side. The bus feel like "shaking" whenever this driver is speeding. And the brake is quite strong to slow down when the bus is approaching the bus-stop. It's dangerous as it was raining very heavy and most parts of road is about 5 - 10cm submerged with water.

Not only that, this BC even tailgated rubbish collection truck that the bus front is too close to the back of truck. Also tailgate several cars until the bus front is very close to the back side of a car at traffic junction.

And the bus has only 5 passengers including myself at that time.

This driver is in 20s.

So scary... Confused

Talking about speeding.. I ready like that young BC who drive SBS 9176T.. He is really pro.. Just like these few days.. First bus, SBS 3863H Second bus, SBS 539P and third bus SBS 9176T.. So this BC managed to be the first to be back in the int.. Btw, he is a malaysian? Anyway, wa.. that old BC driving SBS 9363U not gd in speeding.. Btw, he is like to use his timetable to cover the speedometer..

stooper SG

Yeah, the old 9363U BC is actually 179 A/P shift BC. He does 9065E A shift this week. Rather slow driver.
But on both Monday and Wednesday, he was asked to do extra rounds on 9363U (PM peak of S shift) as there is a lack of manpower...

But 9363U's perm BC is definitely pro! Laughing He is able to maintain below 25min rounds on almost every 179 round! Shocked But that guy like everytime pon work.

Just look at some chiongsters from 200, 161, 168 and 103W or 103. For 103, the strecth from Picadilly Road to Seletar East Camp is a chiongster ground.

stooper SG

Driving SBS9334D today. On his final round at 18.26, he managed to overtake 5 other buses!

The departure order was 9139B (18.11) 9128H (18.14) 9111E (18.16) 9064H (18.19) 9088P (18.21), 9031C (18.24), 9334D (18.26)

He managed to overtake all except 9128H. Shocked

Very funny. The 6 179 buses and 1 255 bus were all bunching at the first traffic light along Jurong West St 63 (heading to BNL). Laughing

chickenlittle2 SG

Wa.. He drive VO3x today also can chiong ah.. Power la, really like taking the bus he drive.. Did he follow the timetable? Did drive a MB0405? Do u tok to him before? hahaz.. too much qns..

This morning at about 7.50am.. The 179 buses were late towards the bnl direction.. First bus, SBS 9092B and Second bus, SBS 373A.. The BC driving 373A keep following behind 9092B.. Maybe is early.. Later at jw st 63, 9291T overtake SBS 373A that stopped at one bus stop for boarding as 9092B just drove off and skip that bus stop along jw st 64.. After the last bus stop for svc 179, the BC for sbs 373A try to chiong to catch up 9092B but he met the traffic light turned red and had a sudden brake..

stooper SG

Usually, 179 BC on final trip don't care about timetable... Laughing Can get 21min trips on final rounds. He did drive a Merc recently - 128S - which was cameoing for 9162H 2 weeks ago. Never talk to him before.

373A this week got another pro-BC. He always have crew cut hair. The best thing is that he almost always floors LO3x accelerator.

Today only, 9291T also had pro BC (tomorrow should be back on 9092B), he is a young tall and skinny guy. This guy will hold the accelerator. Last time got one car suddenly come out from the PIE slip road along Pioneer Rd Nth. He never even brake, just swerve to the right and horn, but his foot still firmly on accelerator! Shocked

chickenlittle2 SG

the bc on 373A, is it the uncle wit short hair cut?? Wow, 2moro I want to catch up 9092b then..

TWS4793 SG

Service 225 also have one BC (where the hell he's gone to?) who likes to speed. He usually drives for SBS 3685E, but now not so as other BCs are driving this bus. In fact, this BC looks really serious.

stooper SG

Yeah.

chickenlittle2 SG

Btw, do u rmb that yesterday I tok about the old BC that drive SBS 9363U? He did not change the Svc no on the ez link system.. The svc no show there was still 179! Laughing

stooper SG

Then all the fare stages wrong?
The old BC driving 9111E today. 9363U perm BC did 179 A shift, taking over the old BC's slot. Then another standby BC took 9363U.

chickenlittle2 SG

I check again it charges me 65 cents.. When it is turning in to the bus stop at BLK 962.. The fare stage is 5.5.

SBS3625D SG

Well, some years ago on 265 got this BC who somehow can always make the 0405 drag it’s gears, which is quite astounding because I’ve yet to come across another BC who can do that.

stooper SG

What you mean by drag? You mean hold it at a specific gear for a long time?

stooper SG

He swapped places with the 9291T BC again (the one with the hat). So he drive 9291T again today.
