what's you guys' take on this incident?

sinicker SG

flagging for the bus wiv ur foot is downright rude.

i think, the BC would rather the gal not flag for the bus at all and stop for her then to be flagged by her foot.

samtlk SG

I’ve encountered BCs who tell the person: “ren bu zhuo yao zhuo gou ah? (Why act like a dog when you’re a human?)”

nightzip SG

Yah, something like serving pork with muslims as guests. Laughing

very rude right?

Anyway, both parties could be at fault and there might be miscommunication that lead to the animosity.

So we should rest our case. Very Happy

That is not true in Sydney. They have a sticker in front of their buses saying : PLEASE SIGNAL DRIVER.

ditzy SG

Rubbish, recently in Brisbane, the buses had stickers placed at their windshield telling people to hail the bus driver if they wanted to board. Laughing

That is if the bus driver is 'so free' presumably ahead of schedule etc. that they can afford to do that !

Anycase, from my travels onboard CW3 towards JB city this driver saw a group of (looks like) Japanese/Korean tourists 'dragging their feet' along the roadside along the coastal road near Danga Bay so stopped in front of them & opened the door yet they just looked @ him & stood there. The driver then exclaimed that they are Bodoh as he drove off. Quite obvious that they were waiting for a bus or taxi eventhough no (official) bus stop nearby yet despite the driver's initiative to stop they simply ignore. Other times the drivers would stop @ certain bus stops & open the door & ask if anyone wants to board. But i seldom get such service in Singapore nowadays !

back in SG, we compare SBS and SMRT.
about this stopping at bus stop.. many SMRT BC are in such a rush to ___ that they simply race in hot pursuit down the roads. When 2 similar service brunch up, a passenger may flag down the one behind, but a SMRT driver whos not stopping for anyone alighting waves away the customer and continuing his race, making the passenger having to run infront for the 1st bus. Also many SMRT drivers race and race, and even sometimes see long Q of buses at bus stop, skip the bus stop completely.. (example of 852 along YCK)

SBS side, well, all complain of road hogging, but many SBS drivers sometimes drive into the bus stop (although no one flag) and suddenly some one flag when the bus is in the bus stop.. so theres some good in it. If driver does not go into the bus stop, he at least take a quick glance for any sudden flag-downs..

SMRT drivers only interested in counting how many SBS buses they can overtake.. (experience along countless sv74 journeys along Bt Timah)
