i would say he represents what the rest of the passengers in the bus feels & would want to say if they had an opportunity.
and they are angry. but TS is also a bus enthusiast so he isnt angry. he informs.
What has the passenger got to do with the driver? As long they reach their destination, they can't complain.

Their safety lies in the BC's hands. No?
Originally posted by Zilchster:Dear SBS 7322B,
Your apology doesn’t seem sincere and convincing. Somehow I feel that you clearly think that you are not at fault.
And don’t use the threat that you want to give up your interests in buses to blackmail us into giving into you. It won’t work and you can leave for all we care. It doesn’t matter to us if you give up your hobby. One more, one less, doesn’t matter one bit.
And there’s nothing wrong with the TS for pointing out the inappropriate behaviour of the people involved. It’s just a reminder to the parties concerned to act with the appropriate protocol.
Yeah. It might not be convincing as this is all electronic text and there's no feeling put into it. In any way, I'm sorry. If this offends anyone, I will try to clarify.

Why not?

True.

I don't know. I base my knowledge from past experience.
Learn from mistakes...
Its part and parcel of life.. People make mistake, you should point it out to them, directly. Not by typing it out in the forum or somewhere, unless you are trying to shame them, intentionally.
I know, I am just small little tiny winy guy, who hasn't met any busfans yet, except for a few. I've made many mistakes too... Tell me of a person who hasn't made any mistakes since the day he/she is born.
I've talked to the drivers before.. It was during one of the trips frm Sembawang to Bkt Merah. I talk to him whenever he stopped at a traffic light, or even when he started a short convo with me. I don't mind. I know they have the responsibility to take care of the passengers inside the bus. Some may go over the limits, but there is still time to pull them back before the limit. It is a matter of whether they want or not. If they dont want, just leave it as it is. It is his/her problem if he got scolded/reprimanded/arrested or whatsoever.
To the three guys whom the TS referred in the earliest post, I hope you may take this as a lesson.

You won't get to the extent of being so called "blacklisted" as long as you don't get youself into deep soup like Afiq.

That behaviour shows that you don't really care much. I don't really know you but from your post, I can see that you don't really like the juniors of the community. I also don't think that you care for the future of the community. No offence to you because this all what I think from your post.

Every matter counts. This thread has gotten me far enough.
i only talk to BC when it's the last few buses of the day and i'm the only passenger to the int. ![]()
Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:well, I (and other bus fans) should agree to what the TS is trying to point out certain misconduct while onboard public buses. I felt that drivers must observe certain safety regulations and some other form of “Guidelines” so that the driver’s can fully concentrate on his driving to allow the whole journey to be smoother and also to complete on time without any distractions by anybody (be it bus fans or passengers) or to bring nuisance / embarassment to the rest of the passengers onboard the bus. If any passengers were to complain to SMRT (like what others have mentioned), he may get expelled or fired from the company one day. Think over what I’ve just said, and also my advice posted in this thread on the previous page. I don’t want any drivers, whether from SBST or SMRT, to have a bad day just because he got distracted by anybody as a result. This kind of statement is self-explanatory, you can talk to the SLs or BCs for long periods or throughout the whole journey, but one day a member of the public complain goes to the relevant bus companies, the driver may be expelled from driving, and you might one day bear the consequences & also entirely responsible for the actions that you have done to make the SLs or BCs being expelled.
I know. You are also forcing me to say sorry and want me to be held responsible for all that has happened. Fine. I have also already said, I'm sorry. What you want me to do now?

Your judgement is not far from wrong at all.
But, it's time to move on for you.

I believe that TS's intention is not to shame anyone but as a stark reminder towards our behaviour. I still remember the incident where some bus fans took SMB1H and made a ruckus to distract passengers. It was similar to this one.
I suggest that both parties should now settle this out of this thread/forum to prevent any more arguments.
Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:
well, you should turn over a new leaf and follow my advice seriously. No point crying over split milk.
Exactly. I have apologised to almost every party. (If any of my post offends you. I'm seriously sorry).
K guys, relax.
He apologised already. Que sera sera. Don't fight again about this.
Let's take this as a learning point for all of us.

Well technically speaking...you needn't need to own up in this thread...can PM him.

He could have done it on the spot. When the bus is less crowded.

Dude...sometimes don't be "he do this similar thing" you do similar thing. Doing this will not get you anywhere. You jump i jump that kind of scenario?
Still, settle it privately..if not you'll let this thread become a fire.
