I Almost Lost My Life This Morning

Talking about buses it obvious y ppl dont 1 2 move to the back as its hard to alight. But my qn is. Y cant the bus exit doors be located at the back? The buses in the 80s r like tat.

That is to prevent prevent ppl from sneaking in without paying the fare.

Fucking bad day today. Almost wanted to close a sale when one phua chee bye who did not want to buy made it difficult for me and caused the rest if the sales to drop. Cheebye! :oIo:

Need to drink herbal tea liao. Temper very bad these few days :o
 
Tat is a stupid reason, with the EZ Link cards and now with CCTV,how to sneak from the back? anyway,,if that reason is so valid,,than cant blame the commuters for not moving to the back as it makes it harder to get out..,,

Singapore is fucked up la. Bus frequencies still same as back when we had 4m total population. Our government planning like fuck. Singaporeans are sheeps by government conditioning. But overcrowding shortens our fuse. Now you see why road rage incidents and ppl quarreling on trains n buses, or even pushing old ladies off the bus are on the rise.
 
It's becoming like a pressure cooker. I am beginning to think that perhaps TonyChat is right. 2 nights ago, I was doing RT and there was a slight breeze and drizzle. We were at the MPH on the second floor. I was standing at the corridor as the hall was packed with people. As I looked out and enjoyed the breeze and drizzle, I suddenly remembered about my holiday in SaPa, the tribal area in the north of Vietnam. The weather then was the same, perhaps colder, the town was not so busy even though it is a tourist town. My mind felt at ease and I felt happy.

You need to do more RTs to get more relax la bro.

Herbal tea cannot help bro, jacuzzi hydro therapy sure ok, come Bangkok for this therapy la bro.
 
discussing how to harness the sun's energy and make huge profits for sbf.

Capitulation after his (misguided) copulation. Shd have done Rain instead :*:

Thread title sounds off?
Next time just shout 'masuk dalam!'...machiam bus conductors of old.

I can still recall those frightening days as a teenaged student taking packed buses home.

Our school was covered by a Service No 3, Paya Lebar Bus Services bus. The conductors of those days where a "murderous and bullying lot".

Conductors used to hit students clinging onto the centre door (only one door) with their ticket punchers.

Many of the poor students fall off and some were injured with abrasions, etc...The bus will not stop to investigate but just roar onwards. On the contrary, the Singapore Traction Bus (STC Service 18B)) drivers and conductors were a disciplined lot. Many of them were Indians, Pakistanis and Malays as compared to the "mafia" employed by the other private bus companies. Sadly the STC "died" and was wound up - the last legacy of the British-ruled era.

However, the behaviour of the bullying conductors was brought under control by a gang of students. I was one of them. We conspired to get even with the conductor concerned. One day we forced ourselves into the bus. He did the same act again (using the ticket-puncher). At a shout many in the bus and some of them clinging on to the door pulled the conductor and threw him off the moving bus. The driver continued on the journey oblivious to the fact that the conductor wasn't on board. Along the journey when anyone got down we were the ones who pressed the bell to continue the onward journey till the depot. The driver (in separate compartment) only realised that his conductor was not on board when the bus entered the depot at Paya Lebar Road to re-fuel.

Next day, we learned that many students walking home found lots of 5 cents and 10 cents coins on the pedestrian walkway where that "son-of-a-bitch" conductor landed. They used it to purchase snacks like Trebor sweets and Treets (now called M&M).

The same conductor underwent a sudden change in attitude. He became a very "concerned and calm" man from then onwards.

Many of the members of our pack of "vigilantes", including our leader went on to become civil servants.

PS: In today's situation where many foreigners are employed as "Captains" none even know how to shout "Masuk Dalam".
 
i'm guessing you took an SBS bus? TIBS bus drivers more "hiong" as they shout at customers to move to the back. SBS drivers more meek and prefer to keep quiet..
 
One of my friends related to me a story of his when he was younger. Back in the days when we still have non-aircon single decker bus. One day, he and his friends decided to have a smoke on the bus. They were a pretty rowdy group so the driver didn't even challenge them. The driver just drove the bus to Mountbatten police post, locked the bus and went to report it to the policeman. He and his friends kan chiong like fuck when they realised they couldn't get out, luckily one of them found an exit. They climbed out through the driver's door and ran for it. The policeman who was talking to the bus driver was standing nearby was so stunned he didn't even give chase.

During our days, we will open the Emergency door at the end and make good our escape when an Inspector boards the bus. We were always supporters of "ticketless travel".

Up to a certain point in our history...it is the government duty to "CHEAT" you, how dare you cheat the government. Way Back then, the board/exit was in the center & there stood the bus conductor. But nowadays, you have 'gantry point' when you board/exit...that is why it can not be in the center.

From time immemorial...it is common for the bus conductors to shout, 'MASUK DALAM, MASUK DALAM"..OR " Lai being wool quee"...we never had a civic conscious public anyway..& now we add FT..

You will notice that 60% of SINgaporeans traveling on buses are deaf...you can shout, "move in" they never do...but if you impose a $500 fine for not moving in..it is automatic...but the 40% are social conscious...no need fine, or shout " masuk dalam, or "inside got ghost"...they know what to do. This is what we call conditioning...not the air-cond though!
 
Some of these new buses just sux in the way they are designed. though they look big, the seat layout is such that there is only standing space in the middle, and that is also where the exit is. It is not a big area. The front of the bus has standing room for one comfortably holding on to the straps next to one another but not for another one behind, due to the narrow aisle. Ladies would not want to be caught dead squeezed there, with so many perverts and Ah Nehs nowadays. The back of the bus is raised and just as narrow, and many do not want to go up there if they are carrying things as it is difficult to exit later on with the steps. So the bottomline is - the fucking 500-900 buses bought, I dont know how many are this type and they sure are a fucking waste of money. How come these LTA idiots cant see these design flaws before buying? Did they buy from ebay or craigslist?

Those morons that sanctioned the deal, you think they take bus? They just see the bus nice nice design, looks so comfortable, then maybe some under table money also, sign liao. KNN, nowadays the new buses really like crap.
