Event: Bus full of SJI students, but nobody bothered to press the door stopping bell. So the bus just skipped the SJI bus stop.I kena this before. Somemore on exam day
I was sleepy and day dreaming that day. Was on a 75 DAF heading Ngee Ann Poly for exams. Everyone was studying ma, reading notes, texts and such. Then when the bus arrive at our bus stop, no one press the bell, somemore the bus was packed to the door with OUR students, not even one pressed the bell, including me So people who flag the bus at the bus stop also cant board.The bus did slow down a little when it arrived at the stop, cause the driver was like "Eh? no one alight ah?". Still, no one press the bell.
So BC just jam trottle and drive away.Then our people on the bus all speak at medium volume " Eh shit! No one press the bell. Jia lat!" Then people at the bus stop look at us "why never stop ah?", then we on the bus ALL look outside "why bus never stop ah?". They look at us, we look at them, "OH SHIT".
End up reach SIM stop then all alight and RUN back to sch, cause late for exam. Damn funny
Edit: OH! Now i remember why no one press the bell.
The bus was chionging down this slope after king albert park, clementi road. The bus' speeding alert came on, "tee tee teee" for 3 beats exactly(not constant beats), then bus slow down a little, so no more alarm. So everyone on the bus thot the bell is pressed, thats why never press bell again. -
i think in some cases its the bus driver who has no common sense. if the bus stop already u walk to the door...common sense would dictate the person wants to go up the bus....that is why the driver open the door right?----what for scold the commuter again after letting him in? i met with this before. whether its my fault or not......the driver was very rude in the tone he said that. i gathered if the BC were a polite one he wont blurt this kind of stupid thing out of his mouth.

Usually I'll flag very early until I see the bus slow down or on signal to turn in, then I'll keep my hands. Giving no chance for them to criticize me for not flagging the bus.
It's better to flag early, imagine u flag very late, there's risk for:
1) The bus sudden turn in, lost control and hit you, u r injured
2) BC don't want to take risk to stop and carry on driving, u miss the bus and lodge a complain
3) BC do e-brake, many pax fall down, pax injured, pax complain (This is what actually happened on 165, months ago, pax fall back and both legs up.)Who is in the wrong? You. Try not to sabo the very innocent BCs, they have to risk their, pax onboard and even your life just to stop for you and end up, who lost their job? BC, just because of you, flagging the bus late.

Some bus stops have only one bus service and that would be ok if you don't flag. The BC would alrdy know that people at the bus stop wld definitely be waiting for his bus. I have done it many times at my own bus stop feeder service.
But those with many buses, it's polite to flag. Cos it doesnt mean that if you are at the bus stop, stand up and walk towards the bay, would automatically mean the BC understands you want to board the bus.

I think u may have missed the point here. Qn is: the BC angry with you for not flagging? Not a matter of whether it's understood if u wana board the bus when u are at the doorstep.
