Young or unusual Bus Captains? Tell the stories here
-
To start off.
Took a SP Mercedes Rigid (TIB495C) replacing TIB1226S on 962A/963 timeslot and saw a very young 21 year old BC driving. It was really great to see a youth driving a bus, I stood in front and see him drive. He knows how to drive the jerky MB and I think it was rare for a youth his age to be a BC.
Have you ever witnessed any unusual BCs or very young ones? -
youngest age to be BC is 21 right?

169 also has a BC which looks very young. Normally, he will drive TIBS 1047 S in the afternoon around 5 plus passing by Dieppe Barracks.

1. I just recently met a young BC (specifically on 3 August 2007) who is a BRBP bus driver. He once drove SBS 0499X on Service 26 as cameo (my favourite Merc OAC
), and I was on that bus. I noted about the fact that he was young when I requested that I take the photo of the interior of the bus (which was then parked at Bedok Interchange at that time).
He rejected my request and also kindly explained that I could seek permission from the office to get a photo of the inside of the bus. All descriptions fit and he is most likely a young BC.
2. It was during the Chinese New Year (last year) when I met a BC who is quite unusual. Was on SBS 3659G on Townlink 293 when I met him and most of the time when he was resting, he would normally do hand stretches and even makes barking noises to simulate a dog (because last year was the year of the dog). But that's not all. He would say auspicious words relating to Chinese New Year. That's nice! -
today, i took bus no.32 heading towards katong mall, the BC was fidgeting thru out, i wonder if he was just stretching or something wrong with him.

Did you really see what he was doing clearly? Is he carrying a phone in his hand while driving or a newspaper to read when the bus stops at junctions?Originally posted by Cool-gal:today, i took bus no.32 heading towards katong mall, the BC was fidgeting thru out, i wonder if he was just stretching or something wrong with him. -

Was he a bit plump? Cos got one on service 293, he'll greet all passengers with rhyming phrases... Really polite.Originally posted by TWS4793:2.

I do not recall him well but I know that he was a Chinese BC.Originally posted by wonderamazement:Was he a bit plump? Cos got one on service 293, he'll greet all passengers with rhyming phrases... Really polite. -
Yes. He is very polite. Unfortunately, he had some complains of him talking (or greeting ) the pax too much.Originally posted by wonderamazement:Was he a bit plump? Cos got one on service 293, he'll greet all passengers with rhyming phrases... Really polite. 
He is one of the friendliest BC I know.
Greet also complain show black face also tio. Pity him. He's been a BC for about 30 (IIRC) years.
On wed, sat and sun. He will wish everyone who board his bus good luck. He will say zao hui jia, chi wan can, zhu ni zhong ma piao.
On other days he just wish them have a nice day / trip on his bus.
Another BC used to help a woman carry her trolley up his bus. One day, he injured his back and cannot carry the her trolley up the bus. Guess what the pax did?
Shot another Complain to SBST about an "Unhelpful" BC. More like an Ungratedful pax.
Since that incident, he has avoided to go the extra mile. The pax take him for granted and complain when he is unable to help them. He sees no point in helping them. He said He is helpful, no one thank him. He is unable to help and the pax sent a complain letter about him to SBST. He's been a BC for about 5 years. -
