SMRT Buses have that,But you know it's still up to the human attitude..Originally posted by ben1406:They should have stickers on the bus windows like here in Toronto.. Starts with "Move back please", then on the next window, "Alitte Further More", Then it ends with a thank you right at the end. Nice touch though..
Or everyone can just yell like what we do here..
yes, if they have another door(exit) at the back, what i said above wouldnt be a problem anymore. Even i am going to alight next stop, i wont mind going to the very back.Originally posted by Yusry:I think if they want people to move to the rear, they need to put a door at the rear.
I dun usually move to the rear if i'm going to alight in next stop.. Very ma fan wan if move to the rear if u alighting next stop.. Somemore have to squeeze..Originally posted by menoob:i notice most of the culprits are old poeple
but that is so selfish, put yrself in others' shoes, if u r the one waiting for the bus but just becos ppl want to alight 2 stops away hence they don't want to move to the back, everyone is packed from the middle of the bus to the front door hence u can't get on the bus n u need to wait for 25 mins for the next bus, would u like that???Originally posted by mochou:I think the reason why some ppl dun move in, is bcos they are getting off soon. Like if you are going to alight in two more stops, and you are already standing at the exit door, then next stop got many ppl come in, will you move to the very back or stay near the exit??
I would stay near the exit, cos i will have i hard time squeezing from the back to the exit in the next stop. All i can do is try to "siam" abit for them to let those ppl go behind, but i have to stay there bcos i am going to alight. And dunno if you guys got this experience, when u are at the back, and u need to squeeze through those who are not alighting, they will give you bad looks, like "push wat push, what's the hurry?" look. They are not alighting but i am, and if i dont squeeze through, wait bus driver uncle close door i gonna miss my stop.

I might be selfish to "want to stay near exit" bcos i am getting off soon, but u cant expect me sacrifice myself, take the risk of not getting off in time just for the sake of "moving to the rear".
yes, as i already say this is selfish, but how about me in the back cant squeeze out and miss my stop??? who spare a thought for me?? And even i manage to get off in my stop, i also have to squeeze to the back(bcos some other standing there duno want to go to the back) first, and then few minutes later squeeze back to where i was.......Originally posted by Kenashi:but that is so selfish, put yrself in others' shoes, if u r the one waiting for the bus but just becos ppl want to alight 2 stops away hence they don't want to move to the back, everyone is packed from the middle of the bus to the front door hence u can't get on the bus n u need to wait for 25 mins for the next bus, would u like that???
everyone just thinking of themselves, that make us more like animal than a human being.
hang some fake $50 notes at the rear of the bus , everyone will charge to the backOriginally posted by Ah Cek:shld put up posters that read:
Behind no ghost
Please move to the rear
i know u said selfish, i am just trying to emphasis itOriginally posted by mochou:yes, as i already say this is selfish, but how about me in the back cant squeeze out and miss my stop??? who spare a thought for me?? And even i manage to get off in my stop, i also have to squeeze to the back(bcos some other standing there duno want to go to the back) first, and then few minutes later squeeze back to where i was.......
You may say i can try to squeeze out earlier to prevent missing my stop......but then.... what's the point of going all the way back for 2 minute, and take the trouble to squeeze back to where i was after 2 minute.
You get my point? I might be casuing even more trouble to others, making others look at my with irritated looks if i keep moving in and out.
yes i understand your point, but maybe u havent miss a stop before, well i had such experience. When crowded you might not be able to reach out to press bell. And once the driver leave the stop, he can only stop in the next one. So u have to take another bus reverse direction.Originally posted by Kenashi:i know u said selfish, i am just trying to emphasis it
u can press the bell if u r still not off the bus.
it is a matter of everyone giving a thought of others, becos u think of it this way, another person oso think of it this way, in the end, everyone think of it this way. then everyone cannot get on the bus becos everyone is selfish, would u rather that to happen???
u may be causing more trouble for others by not moving in than by moving in, think of others being stranded at the bus stop cos the empty space on the bus is filled by ghosts instead of ppl![]()
i didn't said that i am so noble to take a reverse bus to get back, if i am at the back of the bus, i will move toward the door slightly b4 the bus stopped. furhermore, how far behind can u be in a bus, at most is 1.5m from the back of the bus, u telling me that u take 2 mins to get to the door???Originally posted by mochou:yes i understand your point, but maybe u havent miss a stop before, well i had such experience.

i am willing to give way to others to move in.
And if i am not getting off soon, i will sure move in too. That part i will do it for sure.
My point is, those who are not getting off soon, they should move to the back.
Those who are getting off soon, they should make way for others to move in, instead of moving in themselves.
I am not against the idea of "move to rear". But i think every single person in the bus, under all situation, all try to move to rear isnt a good idea. I am not saying i purposely block them, stopping ppl from getting on the bus.
I try to considerate too(by giving way for those in front to move in), but for my own sake, i have to ensure myself to be able to get off. You mean u are so noble that u willing to take a reverse direction bus(u have to wait too) just to make sure everyone can get on?
Then i have to admit, i am not that great.
Sorry if i talk too much on how many minutes and make u confused, i didnt mean it take 2 minutes to go to the back, I mean i go the the back, stand there for 2 minutes only, then i have to go back to the exit again through the crowds.Originally posted by Kenashi:i didn't said that i am so noble to take a reverse bus to get back, if i am at the back of the bus, i will move toward the door slightly b4 the bus stopped. furhermore, how far behind can u be in a bus, at most is 1.5m from the back of the bus, u telling me that u take 2 mins to get to the door???
how far away can a bell be that u can't even reach it, i was in a very crowded bus whereby every step i move, there are two persons blocking the way, the bus driver will take into consideration that the bus is crowded hence won't move off so fast.
be reasonable, be considerate!!
everyone will then said that they r getting off soon, how soon is soon? one bus stop two bus stop or three??? everyone oso want to give way like u do, as long as they r the one who moved inside, but have u spare a thought about others?
if u think u r considerate n u can live with it, then don't complain when others don't move in n leave u stranded at the bus stop becos everyone on the bus think like u do!!
i think u r great in been very self-centred, the world doesn't just revolved around u
My case opposite, not long ago I took SBS824R on 74 (ARBP 16) at Buona Vista MRT. Bus still empty then. I sat somewhere between front & rear door. But as the bus passed ACJC and ACS(I), all those students boarded. When I alighted at Dover MRT, I nearly coudn't get out. Luckily I did, but has to squeeze, of course. This shows that: Move to rear, cannot get out. Sit/stand between front and rear door, bus becomes packed, also cannot get out.Originally posted by mochou:Sorry if i talk too much on how many minutes and make u confused, i didnt mean it take 2 minutes to go to the back, I mean i go the the back, stand there for 2 minutes only, then i have to go back to the exit again through the crowds.
But i can assured you if i am not getting off next 3stops, i will sure move to the back.
Let me ask everyone, if your stop is next stop, will you really take the trouble to go all the way behind and squeeze through crowds later???
I wont, if that's very selfish, then i am.
