The "tell passenger to move to rear" campign

last SG · 2007-05-10T15:00:30+00:00

i thought SMRT already has such a campaign? They started it late last month. Most of their buses have posters which seem rude as it says "Move to the rear PL...

i think is a good idea we all take part and tell people politely to move to the rear o the bus when u see ppl not moving and the people in front cannot board the bus

that way can help people enjoy a better bus ride or not wait for next bus. its getting madness lately. i have to tell people to move in then i can board.

Sometimes some BC would suggest passengers to tap card liao, board from the exit…

ZYX2005 SG

precisely my point these ppl not moved in so have to tap in by rear.

pls be speak up and tell them to move in. dun be a shy Singaporean or heck care attitude.

I think if they want people to move to the rear, they need to put a door at the rear.

people are just too darn selfish

Kenashi SG

i always have to push my way to the back cos ppl like to stand in the middle of the bus they r so damn selfish Mad

They should have stickers on the bus windows like here in Toronto.. Starts with "Move back please", then on the next window, "Alitte Further More", Then it ends with a thank you right at the end. Nice touch though..

Or everyone can just yell like what we do here..

Ah Cek SG

shld put up posters that read:

Behind no ghost
Please move to the rear

carbikebus SG

SMRT Buses have that,But you know it's still up to the human attitude..

I think the reason why some ppl dun move in, is bcos they are getting off soon. Like if you are going to alight in two more stops, and you are already standing at the exit door, then next stop got many ppl come in, will you move to the very back or stay near the exit??

I would stay near the exit, cos i will have i hard time squeezing from the back to the exit in the next stop. All i can do is try to "siam" abit for them to let those ppl go behind, but i have to stay there bcos i am going to alight. And dunno if you guys got this experience, when u are at the back, and u need to squeeze through those who are not alighting, they will give you bad looks, like "push wat push, what's the hurry?" look. They are not alighting but i am, and if i dont squeeze through, wait bus driver uncle close door i gonna miss my stop.

yes, if they have another door(exit) at the back, what i said above wouldnt be a problem anymore. Even i am going to alight next stop, i wont mind going to the very back.

I might be selfish to "want to stay near exit" bcos i am getting off soon, but u cant expect me sacrifice myself, take the risk of not getting off in time just for the sake of "moving to the rear".

Patrik SG

I dunno is i suay or what,but everytime,the stop before i am supposed to alight,confirm got alot of people board the bus or train.
Than i have to move in,but then move out again to alight.
Then if i never move in,those people will bump against me.
-_-
Sometimes,i really dunno what to do la.

turbo_drift SG

Young people still can zhi dong a bit la.. But hor, as for older ones, u all should know wat i wan to say especially menoob.. Laughing

I dun usually move to the rear if i'm going to alight in next stop.. Very ma fan wan if move to the rear if u alighting next stop.. Somemore have to squeeze.. Rolling Eyes

Kenashi SG

but that is so selfish, put yrself in others' shoes, if u r the one waiting for the bus but just becos ppl want to alight 2 stops away hence they don't want to move to the back, everyone is packed from the middle of the bus to the front door hence u can't get on the bus n u need to wait for 25 mins for the next bus, would u like that???
everyone just thinking of themselves, that make us more like animal than a human being.

mochou SG

yes, as i already say this is selfish, but how about me in the back cant squeeze out and miss my stop??? who spare a thought for me?? And even i manage to get off in my stop, i also have to squeeze to the back(bcos some other standing there duno want to go to the back) first, and then few minutes later squeeze back to where i was.......

You may say i can try to squeeze out earlier to prevent missing my stop......but then.... what's the point of going all the way back for 2 minute, and take the trouble to squeeze back to where i was after 2 minute.

You get my point? I might be casuing even more trouble to others, making others look at my with irritated looks if i keep moving in and out.

Coquitlam SG

Hmmm, in Sillypore’s case, it will have to ‘kick their butts or asses to rear’ campaign…only that will work in Uniquely Sillypore

mochou SG

The most i can do, like i already said, is try to "siam" and let those infront of me to go to the back. Cos they might be getting off in terminal or later stops.

Since the bus is already crowded, it's not a good idea to keep moving in and and out(bcos i am going to alight soon).

Unidentified SG

hang some fake $50 notes at the rear of the bus , everyone will charge to the back

Kenashi SG

i know u said selfish, i am just trying to emphasis it Mr. Green
u can press the bell if u r still not off the bus.
it is a matter of everyone giving a thought of others, becos u think of it this way, another person oso think of it this way, in the end, everyone think of it this way. then everyone cannot get on the bus becos everyone is selfish, would u rather that to happen???
u may be causing more trouble for others by not moving in than by moving in, think of others being stranded at the bus stop cos the empty space on the bus is filled by ghosts instead of ppl Neutral
did u get a gd look at the irritated looks of those ppl stranded on the bus stop becos those on the bus don't want to move in??
be more social minded, what u don't want to happen to u, don't make it happen on others.

mochou SG

yes i understand your point, but maybe u havent miss a stop before, well i had such experience. When crowded you might not be able to reach out to press bell. And once the driver leave the stop, he can only stop in the next one. So u have to take another bus reverse direction.

i am willing to give way to others to move in.
And if i am not getting off soon, i will sure move in too. That part i will do it for sure.

My point is, those who are not getting off soon, they should move to the back.
Those who are getting off soon, they should make way for others to move in, instead of moving in themselves.

I am not against the idea of "move to rear". But i think every single person in the bus, under all situation, all try to move to rear isnt a good idea. I am not saying i purposely block them, stopping ppl from getting on the bus.

I try to considerate too(by giving way for those in front to move in), but for my own sake, i have to ensure myself to be able to get off. You mean u are so noble that u willing to take a reverse direction bus(u have to wait too) just to make sure everyone can get on?

Then i have to admit, i am not that great.
