Back in the SBS/SMRT duopoly days, the bus industry used to have
some serious deep-seated cultural issues. Thanks to the SMRT bus
driver strike in 2012, we now see more players in the bus industry.
While there are debates on whether bus services actually improve,
we can agree that bus drivers are paid more and treated better
now.
As for the bus community, I do observe some "politics" between
bus fans in a Facebook group and bus fans in a society. I don't
know the history of the politics between these 2 camps so I can't
comment on that. (I'm just observing the politics as an outsider.)
In this forum, we occasionally see trolls who keep seeking
attention, but at least the politics here (if any) are milder, and
most of the time I feel more amused than irritated.
obviously there is a trade off... right now, it is the gov who
is subsidy the bus operations.. so BC get more pays which are
indirectly subsiize by those tax payers.. so in the end , you
should know the outcome for the bus fares next few year down the
road.
as for the troll that you mention, there is obviously one guy
who is too free here....alway spamming with new
accounts..
