Two unusual happenings on buses...
1. TIB 0779U made three crazy rounds about the bus park at Bedok North Bus Interchange just now due to the lack of parking. Worse still, the bus mounted kerb when it finally came out of the bus park! I saw it at about 1358hrs at Bedok North Bus Interchange.
2. Two unusual occurences on SBS 2990E.
1. A big family of Malays (about 10 of them) boarded the bus just before it was about to turn out of the bus stop and onto Bedok Reservior Road. They were quite noisy and blocking the passageways which attracted not only my attention, but also other people's attention.
2. The engine of the bus suddenly went dead before it was turning out of the bus stop opposite Block 745 of Bedok Reservior Road. Anxious of getting the breakdown ticket, I made quite a scene by running from the middle of the bus to the front to see what happened. But the BC managed to restart the engine soon after.
No excuse. If you get it, you get it. If you don't, you don't. As simple as that.Originally posted by TWS4793:I'm probably too anxious because it was something in my mind that pushed me to do it. That's why I said I am normally quite impatient with a lot of things.
yeah lor. the Honda Civic i'm driving has broken down at least 10 times lor. so much for reliability.Originally posted by sinicker:2.2. wow a lot of breakdowns at the driving centres then.

Please [b]do not attempt this dangerous act which I witnessed just now.
I saw a boy alighting from SBS 9348P on Service 69. Apparently he was too fast; he did not manage to successfully tap his card. He wanted to go back in, but he was caught in between the doors. Worse still, without the BC's knowledge, he drove off, but managed to stop a few metres later to allow the boy to tap his card.
I was not only the one who was appaled at this scene, a couple sitting beside me was also shocked to see this sight. I would feel it was quite dangerous. Any suggestions on how to handle this situation properly?[/b]

just ignore him la. i think he forgot to take his medicine that day!Originally posted by TIB1049L:Was on TIB1061A (Svc. 911) on Wed and somebody shouted "Driver dunno how to drive bus izzit?" when the bendy was negotiating a turn and tilted to one side.
Apparently common sense would tell you that any vehicle would tilt when driving round a bend![]()
Maybe because the popup harder to remove?Originally posted by bus555:Today I saw SBS628R and SBS2750G have their ad removed from the 2D popup. But How come the 2D popup still remains there with none ad![]()
chiobu or not?Originally posted by carbikebus:Remember one incident where a drunk lady took my S2 last bus and showed her buttock after i ask her to alight @ CVT.
very long alrOriginally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:TIB431Y on 961 has no emergency exit doors! This is the first im seeing a Hispano Merc rigid that has no emergency doors! Apparently , the door is removed and changed into a wall. Some parts of the wall near the emergency exit door is brand new and shiny. Windows gasket is also new too. Btw, the bus has emergency exit windows and hammer instead.
Why waste money putting up & removing since the pop-up is high enough for people take notice of the ad...Originally posted by SBS9806J:Maybe because the popup harder to remove?
for the first one that you said, both parties are at fault. bc shouldn't scold the passenger because if by accident left there cannot get back how. on the other hand, the passenger should just let the bus reach the interchange it was supposed to go then go there call the bc open bus door to let him take back the stuffs.Originally posted by TWS4793:[*] After all the passengers alighted from TIB 0530U on Service 854, a Malay man, who might probably had dropped something in his hurry, tried to retrieve his belongings. However, unknown to the BC's knowledge, the doors suddenly closed and his hand got stucked in between the doors. Some people, including me, shouted at the BC to open the doors.
The BC opened the doors. When the man walked past the entrance door, the BC came out and made a scene, probably to scold him (speaking in Malay) that it was dangerous to retrieve belongings when the door was to close.
The whole incident resulted in a minor traffic jam involving two buses.
[*] I was on board SBS 7413Y on Townlink 222 (because I wanted to try and joyride on a rare cameo).[*] What I noticed was that the BC was kind-he greeted almost every passenger who boarded the bus. He even spoke in a courteous tone when he was about to say goodbye to a old woman alighting from the bus.
[*] No PIWs boarded this bus throughout the journey.
[*] At the bus stop opposite the Block 85 market and food centre at Bedok North Road, everyone except me got off from the bus, and I was the only passenger alone all the way to Bedok Interchange.
