  Ex driver, current driver all come in here .

  Are u A/P shift driver? The way u say looks like continuous 9h, i think split shift will get some relief from mid day break isn't it?

  The only remedy is no changi airport routes for u . 42 is the best .

  I'm really a BC. Wont reveal my service. If i say it you pple sure can spot me.

  I hate K230UBs coz passengers always love to stand near the front door. It's coz of the bad design. Kena taluk(complained) before by some KPO passengers saying tt i never tell the pple standing there to move inside. But the fact is, pple can still board! (usually when we ask pple to move in is to help more passengers board the bus, not to chase pple in)

  I also hate pple to stand near me when im driving. Very irritating to have pple watching me when im driving. K230UB's design seem to encourage that.

  
  when u c ppl stand around e front axle, u just warn them to move back.

  tell them that they r blocking ppl from boarding

  We cannot warn them. They will think that im purposely trying to embarrass them in front of everyone by telling them off. For sure these pple will go make fake complaints (eg. BC scold passengers for nothing, or BC's driving skill is poor etc).

  Well, take that the challenge for you... every job has it. Dun worry too much. Get your job done and hear from your seniors about their driving experience and perhaps you can get a few pointers from there.... most importantly, you got to love your job, otherwise, everyday will be a chore for you and you ain't going to like it. Well, at least we know that being a BC isn't easy.

  you all are talking too technically and am surprised you note so much

  This is too advanced for me..

  if u ask me the diff between the 2 euro IV buses (only after reading some posts i realised the other is a euro EEV) i would say (the changes in the latter)

  - EDS font bigger
  - Side EDS located at top to accomodate 2 extra seats
  - Wheelchair space reduced to accomodate 1 wheelchair and 3 extra seats
  - The handle (or what do you call it ) at the seats redesigned so that 2 ppl can sit in the front seats (2×2)
  well that’s all I can say

  so I think I bid adieu as I can’t catch up with the technical part

  I actually came here for bus routes.. so will catch up now and then in that area

  Well, there's a first for everything. If you are really passionate about buses, I believe you will go all out  to discover more. Have fun!
