What. U work at bbdc??

Some instructors jumped ship to bus driving. I believe they are back to square one. Unlike other kind of jobs, they won't give chance to bus driver or driving instructor to eat snake. Every secs of you at work are translated directly to their profit

I ever heard from a former colleague (keling) that his bus driver uncle became an alcoholic. Is bus driving so stressful? Also, why whenever there's an accident. The police always handcuff the bus driver? Sounds like a thankless job.

He told me because that day he win horse 12500, so he have a number very confident to whack. So he bet 1000 big on ordinary. But he tell me later on he lose alot of money and really very jia lat. Then somehow he manage to belive in Jesus and he save him. Now he don't even gamble 1 dollar. 1000 a number,that's the biggest i heard of so far...

I 3rd try the last attempt then pass. Else fail also terminated from job and I can't even start Ferry passenger.

No offense. But usually Indian like to drink beer la

 

[jurongkechil]

The tp test is hard because they want absolute safety from all their bus captain...

 

[jurongkechil]

But actually all bus are auto gear now. Quite easy to drive.
