gynobcard SG

SBS9818A SG

Can. Just be wary and keep a look out.

i thought it would be interesting if they ask to check someone's bag and tt person is in a hurry and brush him off. Wink

This will seriously affect our bus photo shooting activities. I mean, we could land ourselves in some really hot soup. It’s bad enough to be shooed away by wary station managers. It’s worse if we were suspected of sinister intentions by these security personnel. Do these people have the power to arrest us? Is it true that they are in plainclothes? Very troublesome indeed.

wuming78 SG

they are uniformed and not armed. dont think they have the power to arrest - they will have to refer to the relevant authorities for that.

anyway i thought shooting in public places such as bus interchanges shouldnt be controlled as long as it does not inconvenience or endanger others? at most go and talk to the interchange staff b4 doing so jus to make sure u wont get harrassed.

I find that Tibs...I mean SMRT buses staff do not mind me taking photos. I took a photo IN FRONT OF THEIR OFFICE at Choa Chu Kang Int. They did not mind at all Cool

But the bigger problem is placing the bus service guides at the racks. Frankly speaking, we really do look suspicious when hiding the guides Laughing .

btw,I think these Transit Security are in plain clothing. I walked around CCK and i didn't see any uniformed guards

the Bear SG

wuming78 SG

bus911 SG

They are uniformed and clearly visible due to the huge public transport logo badge they have on.
