</TR><!-- headline one : end --><!-- show image if available --></TBODY></TABLE>
<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->LAST Saturday at about 3.45pm, I was on SBS Transit service 170, plate number SBS 587A, from Fu Lu Shou Complex when I noticed a child behind me, eating in the bus.
She nodded when I asked her if she knew she was not allowed to eat in the bus. Her father, who was next to her, said nothing. The girl continued eating, so I took a photo of her.
Her mother then started taking photos of me, making snide remarks like 'so sexy, so pretty'. She did nothing to stop her child from eating.
I complained to the bus driver, who said he could not do anything about it. I then returned to my seat and I heard the child, who was still eating, say: 'The bus driver didn't say anything.'
Although fines are slapped on people who eat and drink on trains, what about those who do so on buses?
I see more and more people eating and drinking on buses. If bus drivers choose not to enforce the rule, what can be done to stop offenders?
