But it's the principle, why allow people to cheat?
You think it's the first time they are cheating, maybe it's the
first time they were caught but not the first time.
It's not a question of money, I have given free rides too, huge
discounts etc, but to deserving people. Once an old lady asked me
to send her near Geylang Lor 22 to Circuit Road, she was in her
70s, missed her last bus, but she asked beforehand and never
forced, said if cannot never mind. This kind, we can consider and
forego. She is an old lady, shouldnt be forced to walk or wait
until 6am. Could give her the benefit of doubt.
Similarly I have given kids a ride home after missing the last
bus with whatever cash they had on them even if doesnt meet the
full fare, we think of them as our own children, who we dont want
to be wandering the streets late at night.
But these girls did it at 8 or 9pm, when all the resources for
going back were there. They were plain selfish and thought they
could get away with it. They must be taught a lesson and also to
warn others who have similar ideas.
Anyway lose an hour or 2 to teach them also no problem, how
often do we encounter this kind of cases? Money can be earned back
but the lesson must be taught.
Yeah, talking about old ladies. 2am Brought one from chinatown
to yishun near swimming pool. Guess what???? told me no money to go
home only got $10. So, pity her send her home. On reaching
destination, she ask me to send her to Northpoint Mcdonalds. Guess
what???? She said she hungry, wants to go Mcdonalds for breakfast.
