Suggestion of EOY Outing
-
Sorry, seem to have last minute buisness to attend to.
-
I think I have to clarify some things.
I don't mind if people think bus-spotting is stupid/wierd/idiotic, it's their business if they think so.
BUT, I dislike it when someone responds strongly against such feelings. To folks who choose to respond in such fashion, please spare a thought for the other bus-fans whose names you have tarnished further.
Please be polite in your replies. -

Folks.. please refrain from arguing the fact that some of us are having different hobbies. What I would say is.. if there is an outing being organised, either that it is being done by the segregation of the hobbies, else it's just a pure meeting to meet new friends.
What do u guys think abt it? -
Anybody keen to have a meetup tomorrow afternoon at 1400h Harbour Front starbucks?

neither speed nor class???Originally posted by soleachip:You're obviously one. What do they do during the outings? Just board the buses and then do what?
Is there a bus walk through to examine the design and construction of all interiors?
What about the engines? A bus has neither speed nor class, why the fascination?
you aint seen $hit yet..
especially speed. -
yeah...the feeling. in the car u juz cant sense anything. but in the bus and when it speeds, the roaring sound just make you feel that it is going at such a speed.Originally posted by SBS7484P:neither speed nor class???

do cars even offer free wi fi to use ur laptop?
do cars carry ads such that they look nice on a car and make good picutres?

you can't phrase it this way. Cars and buses are different in their ways. But the reason as in why some people cannot understand the reason for the passion in buses is because they are unable to see the beauty beneath the 'wealth and success'. Cars ownership is often associated to the individual success of a person. If the person is driving a continental car makes him more 'successful' than the rest. But buses are often associated with 'losers' in their aspect who have to squeeze in buses and unable to choose to their own personal transport.Originally posted by ZYX2005:hey

You put it a way that you go and fetch someone in your car and go and fetch someone by taking the public bus. This is the way sadly how this society behaves. -

however what u say is right, the stigma of car being a wealth accessory is true. however putting that wealth thing aside maybe can compare it like that. fact is i dun own a car and am a rare one that will never need a car. got bus to take why not use it. also my post reveals how some bus fans go about bus hobby

Its sad but few will ever see that most buses are far more complex than most cars.
They always think a car is more interesting because cars are faster which means more power blah blah. -
Not just that, people who have cars are definitely richer in terms of $$ as compared to those who can't afford one. They look up to buses as a general means of transport for the middle class, while they classify themselves as the "upper class". We have such classic examples right here in the forum, as in the case of the teenager not paying enough bus fare and all that cyberr1981 and his clones saga. It demonstrates the fact that people who are richer tend to look down on people who are poorer. It's more or less an accepted fact already.Originally posted by SBS3625D:Its sad but few will ever see that most buses are far more complex than most cars.

But, that doesn't mean having a liking of buses means being poor. I can still be fond of buses even if I own a Mercedes, right? Wealth has no link to hobbies and passion in any sort. Wealth links to your social status, and not your passion. Even if people turn a cold eye on you, you can just take them as being idiots. People who have this kind of mindsets are often just plain childish. Reasons for such hatred / misunderstanding of buses include:
1) Seldomly take buses. They mostly drive around in their car for anything from eating out to work. As a result they do not take public transport often and think that it is for the poorer.
2) Grudge with public transport companies. Like those people who blah here and there about SBST and SMRT, "they sucks" "I think we expect more after the fare hike" "Why should we continue to suffer after paying more?" These people mainly have some sort of outrage with public transport, for which I don't know the reason. Then they take it out on the people who love buses. Strange right? It only displays their childiness even more; having a grudge on public transport just because of fare hike is already being stupid enough.
Then, what more we should do is just turn a blind eye on people who think money = everything. Remember that money cannot bring you your true passion. Even if you have $1b but you don't achieve anything there isn't any point in being a billionaire. What matters most is that you have a passion to indulge in; something for which will follow you for life. -
For me poor no poor is not an issue, because I take a greater interest in the technicals of the bus.

OK, cut the crap on the bus fans are the down and out rubbish.
