off topic:
Today there was a major traffic jam along Upper Serangoon Rd starting from opp Hougang Plaza until to Kovan that area from 7am to ??? when I go to school around 9 am still saw it . All the bus service serving along that road was being affected. For eg Sv 119 the BC told me that he was late for 20 mins. The traffic was crawling very slowly Sv 81 had buses coming one and the other and etc. I saw three fire engines on that road too think maybe there was accident happened 
Does anyone saw that too and maybe can clarify that??? Thanks a lot

ah! i like to be in 67 races!Originally posted by alex_cai92:yesterday for the whole ride of 67 i took, the race is racing wif the other 2 SVC67 buses....in the end 3 of them reach TAM INT almost the same time...my bus was the last... once, i took frm geylang.. 2 S67 buses. i took the one behind. this SC is smart! he followed behind the 1st one all the way. den at Bedok MRT stn bus stop, the one in front took more passengers and wad my SC did was to drop off the passengers, get out of the bus stop and chiong to Tamp Int. -
There was this time when I encountered immigration offenders taking the same express bus as I. Two Banglas were with me on the bus from KL to Singapore. We stopped at JB customs for clearance. Most of the passengers passed through without a hitch and returned to the bus. Still no sign of those 2 buggers. After nearly an hour, they emerged, escorted by an immigration officer. My guess is that they were overstayers and were let off with a fine after being questioned by the authorities.

Today on Svc 172 (TIB703M), one lady was going to alight but she can't remember where she kept her ez-link card, until about 1 min, she managed to find her ez-link card in her handbag and finally alight from the bus at Jln Bahar. This kept passengers waiting for at least 1 min before the bus continues its journey.

LOL. She should just have tried to scan her handbag on the scanner until something beep.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:Today on Svc 172 (TIB703M), one lady was going to alight but she can't remember where she kept her ez-link card, until about 1 min, she managed to find her ez-link card in her handbag and finally alight from the bus at Jln Bahar.

But, there is no beep when she tried to scan her handbag, so she have to take out her ez-link card. LOL.Originally posted by PhyrePhox:LOL. She should just have tried to scan her handbag on the scanner until something beep. -

Well today afternoon when I return home from BDK INT I took SBS 3687 A of 225G.
The trip was quite smooth until Blk 543 stop (somewhere near my home.)
At the Blk 543 stop, more than 15 Bedok Town Secondary School students boarded the bus.
I gave seat to them, but they appearantly did not take my kind offer, and instead they all, with their damn big body sizes (some of them damn obese), chose to stand, in a single line.
And so, the bus looked overcrowded very quickly, with the driver shouting at them to move behind to make way for other passengers.
And it was at this juncture that a BTSS "fellow" shouted at his fellows:
"Don't stand in a single line leh! School over already!"
Only then did they moved behind and more paxes got on the bus, and only when the bus reached Blk 534 stop (a stop before the opp Blk 550 stop where I usually start and end my trips), did a pax boarding at this stop, took my kind offer.
By then the bus was damn crowded and upon reaching the opp Blk 550 stop (loop - back point for 225G) I and other in-the -front passengers could only alight from the front door, not the supposed back door.
And from here, it seemed that:
Although the BTSS had a new premises, its students quality and etiquette crucially needed improvements.
And so I would sincerely hope that with their new premises, they could make more improvements in their travelling etiquette. -

You are not perfect yourself. You discriminate people based on body size and school? My gosh you must think of yourself as being high-and-mighty such that everyone is beneath you. You sure do think you are perfect.Originally posted by SGEMP:I gave seat to them, but they appearantly did not take my kind offer, and instead they all, with their damn big body sizes (some of them damn obese), chose to stand, in a single line.

You are not perfect, young man. So don't comment on others without making a judgement of yourself first.
And you wonder why everyone treats you the way you do. -
Svc 43
SBS660X
The bus service is not to stop at Marine Parade Road - Victoria School - bus stop. But this bus did this evening...since the ad was there and the BC didn't see the bus no. card on the stop. Last time, svc 48 did the same thing...slowing downat that stop since they are unsure whether to stop or not.
Sometimes these new services crack me up -
Last Sunday around 11+ pm, saw svc 147 at the Clementi MRT bus stop. The bus was waiting there.. Apparently there was a guy chatting on the phone on the upper deck who was oblivious. Either he was too engrossed on the phone or he didn't know that everybody was supposed to alight there. The BC gave up waiting and went into the interchange and parked at the bus park straight away.

1. you do nothing but criticising people just because they dont move back or whatsoever.
2. no one is perfect and if you can criticise other people, other people can do the same thing to you as well. and when that happens, how will u feel?
3. you should seriously look at yourself before you look at other people. -
Recall from last year, 2004:
TIB 978L (912): The driver saw me removing bus tickets from the dustbin. Later, he asked me to come and not to remove tickets and to move around in the bus as it is dangerous. Not so kind to give me tickets anyway.
TIB991Y (302): When the driver saw me doing the same thing, he gave me all the tickets in a cup and to empty it. Instead, I kept it secretly in my pocket. Then, I returned the empty cup to the driver.
TIB1170T (187): I went down on the steps to retrieve the tickets. When the doors are closing, the driver asked me whether I want to alight. I said that I don't want to alight and also refrain me from going down to the steps of the bus.
In most occasions, I always walk around of the bus to retrieve some bus tickets. -
The main thing is: I have observed who they are indeed. Yes they are really that oversized.Originally posted by SBS9818A:You are not perfect yourself.

I sincerely admit that I also have some serious errors though and that maybe in the next few days I would review on my shortcomings. -

Btw, SGEMP, your standard of English is terrible.

Long story to tell today:
So sit back and enjoy
Today take bus go home it happened like this...............
At Sengkang Int, when I was waiting for the bus, a aunty apporached me and told me that there is a suspicious package on the floor. So she asked me to go and check whether is it a not. Then found out it was belong to the contractor one who are doing some works at the Interchange.
She thought the suspicious package belonged to a student one which he/she carried too much until foregt to carry that. She thought that he/she was too depressed on studying
We board the same bus Sv 119, SBS2666S
On the bus she told me about the exams thing and say the overall percentage pass and so on
She also told me that time she took 86 and after she board, the BC swerved the bus to the right and she lost control and was running down luckily never injured. She scold the BC on it but the BC said that it was her fault saying that he cannot see her in the mirror and it was her bad luck. WT..............
After that a mother and two kids board the bus the two child was mischiveous, playing the handle, climbing the bar, sleep on the seat and so on.... The mother was angry and scolded him. That aunty also reprimanded him too. After that they behaved. Having all this incidents in the bus, the BC
still looked normal and calmed
PS: My Language is poor so may have some broken english. Apologise for that -
Today, on Svc 67, when TIB599Y goes to Serangoon Rd, the buses becomes full-load. At least I got a seat when I board it at CCK Int. Later, when the bus stops at Lavender St, the bus driver told all standing passengers to move to the rear (not like 307, students do not co-operate). At one bus stop at Serangoon Rd, one man quickly ran to catch Svc 67.
One driver of SBS522L of Svc 25, asked me to show my Bus Concession Pass as I am paying cash for the bus fare. The bus driver wanted to verify the identity of the Student Identification Pass before enjoying the 55¢ fare. If I don't show to the driver, I will have to pay adult fare, 90¢. -
Mixed feelings 3 days ago.
Was waiting for the 0700 trident on 89 as usual, when I saw this old man wearing school shoes and dressed in tattered clothes enter bus-stop. The trident arrived as usual, and the old man kan chiong, literally chiong up the bus. BC yelled at him bcos he never pay. He yelled again: " OI, uncle!". But the old man just carried on up the stairs shaking his head at BC. His face was woebegone and he looked like he's gonna cry. Did not see what happened when he left though........BC apparently let him off.
