The whole system is stupid. The ezlink card and the identity is
together as one. SBS tell bus captains must check ezlink card
whether is student pass, they just follow blindly.
Personally, I feel that bus captains and SBS itself has to take
some of the blame when the bus captains get assaulted. I mean, if I
don't have I/C and my ezlink card is my onli identity card, it is
obviously extremely important to me right? yet as long as there's a
prob with it, bus captains are told to retain it. some will tell u
the reason some will just give u stupid answer.
Even if they tell u it's company policy, who in their right mind
will surrender his/her identity card over without a fight? I'm a
normal teenager and I'm not a pai kia but if it happens to me as
well, depending on the bus driver's tone of voice i'll also quarrel
with him and demand my card back.
okok back to the topic, basically bus captains as well as the whole
policy is stupid, useless, and lacks of common sense.
The bus captains follow the policy, but forget the reason why the
policy was created in the first place. The whole idea is to allow
students cheaper fares. If u implemented this during kampung days
(i not born yet but see before video and stories from my mum), the
bus driver or bus conductor will see by face.. like the hawker
centre uncle who remembers his customers and may give discounts
just by memory of who is who..
in fact the bus drivers n conductors then would be more personal
and becos the same bunch of kids take the bus everyday they are
like their caretaker on the way to school and from school
also..
fast forward to modern times, everything about professionalism,
follow the book, everyone forgets why we have these rules and
policies in place.. haiz..
eh pple i haf no idea wad i writing already jump from one thing to
another. too slpy la gdnite. dun understand too bad
