not accident nor breakdown
Passengers wait for 20 minutes as SBS driver stops bus to confront teen about fare

Even though a passenger's trip may be disrupted, I think what the BC did was right. If he does not set the boundary, more cheating cases would appear. Would we want to live in a society whereby everyone cheats?Originally posted by BusSpeeder:not accident nor breakdown

I'm actually quite shocked at the man in the white shirt's scolding the bus driver for not moving. He has the guts to say so much but no guts to help the teenager pay the bus fare. What a typical moron.
And I do agree with a lot of comments posted at the STOMP discussion area.
User happy5263 said: some stupid teenager who has money to colour hair, buy mp3 and blast loud music, play psp but no money for fare....of course he deserves to be scolded and no one should pay for his ride. let him walk home...
User spicefrog said: the bus is crowded and NO ONE...i said NO ONE offers to pay the pathetic few cents on behalf of the teen to make the driver drive the bus instead of wasting the time???
and why the teen is still so thick skinned to stay in the bus? i would have exit the bus since i did not buy in full instead of making a scene.
Agree 100% to this comments.
OT: The video was taken on a B9TL.

Remind me of a time my card got confiscated by a f***ed up BC Ex perm on 28. Before that incident my card confiscated for the whole month (which I bought BCP and wasted $27 as I did not use. Thanks man! /scarasm). This time I did something different. In the end, I got the BC to apologise to me at Tampines Interchange and since then, I never see him drive 28. Good riddance.Originally posted by BusSpeeder:not accident nor breakdown

Oh about the card? They returned to me on the spot and advised me go replace it myself.
(Although I have not replaced it. Because it was THEIR FRONT EZ-Link Readers that malfunctioned)
Edit: now is Ex perm not perm -

what the bus driver did was right, since the teenager's card has expired and should pay adult fare. instead of helping the bus driver, the passengers don't cooperate. doesn't honesty matter?Originally posted by Oceane:Even though a passenger's trip may be disrupted, I think what the BC did was right.

Many people dunno this word "INTEGRITY", cheat fare.

nobody even bothered to pay the extra 20 cents for the teenager. if what the passengers care about is the 20 minutes wasted, they can help him pay the extra 20 cents and then the bus driver can continue the journey. its not about the 20 cents, its about their responsibility, not because of a mere 20 cents, but the mistake it leads to.Originally posted by Scania:Many people dunno this word "INTEGRITY", cheat fare. -

such teenager certainly display a lack of proper upbringing! By not paying for the ride is simply STEALING!!! I think fare evaders ought to be arrested and charged equivalent for SHOPLIFTING and STEALING!!!Originally posted by BusSpeeder:nobody even bothered to pay the extra 20 cents for the teenager. if what the passengers care about is the 20 minutes wasted, they can help him pay the extra 20 cents and then the bus driver can continue the journey. its not about the 20 cents, its about their responsibility, not because of a mere 20 cents, but the mistake it leads to.
Why people who illegally download pirated online music can be arrested and face time in the lockup but not fare evaders? Its simply ridiculuous! maybe the govt is afraid of big players like Microsoft who can threaten to pull out investments or blacklist Spore. Our public transport companies got to be tougher mann!
