So annoying! China SMRT drivers can't give info on bus route
http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=83537
The sender says that these bus captains often have difficulties communicating with passengers in English and cannot tell them where the bus is headed.
Having experienced the same problem on a number of occasions, the STOMPer says:
“I have come across some annoying China national bus captains of SMRT services who are unsure of the bus route.
“Or maybe, they don't know the road names in English.
Per says:
“It has happened a few times when I boarded SMRT buses.
“Fair enough if they don't understand ORQ or One Raffles Quay but what about Raffles Place?
“I know there's a bus guide on the panel but the bus was already at the stop when I arrived at the bus stop.
“The driver just shook his head throughout and kept mum when I asked where the bus was heading to.
“Don't you think this is absurd? Shouldn't it be mandatory for them to at least know the route they are on?
“This is what happens when the company cuts cost and blames locals for being unwilling to take up bus driver jobs.” -
Woman treats bus like home and puts legs up on seat
http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=83536
STOMPer kayatoasted was appalled when she saw this woman putting her legs up on the seat opposite and beside her.
In an email to STOMP yesterday (Aug 19), the STOMPer said:
“I was on bus service 961 back home from school the other day when I saw this woman.
“It was so obvious that the bus was fully packed yet she seemed to be enjoying herself, trying to make full use of the space she claimed.
“Well, at least she took off her shoes......” -

short of articles. thats why stomp blindly accept any articles as long as their(passengers) behaviour are unpleasent to be seen. -
These phenomenon have been around and will always be around. Stompers just want to make a hoo-haaa out of it to make their presence felt. How cheap can that be.

Considerate bus driver uses off-duty time to ensure passengers' safety
This off-duty bus driver was seen seeking help from construction workers to ensure that a hanging tree branch at Boon Lay Drive would not be a danger to passing double-decker buses.
STOMPer CHECKERJ7, who saw the considerate bus driver, said:
"While passing by the the River Valley High School construction site at Boon Lay Drive at 10.44am (Aug 21), I noticed bus captain of SBS No: 257 was asking a few of the construction workers to help him to guide him in reversing the bus to the position of the tree branch that was protruding.
"He wanted to check if the height between the top of the bus and the tree is safe for the passengers sitting in the upper deck area as the bus drive pass that area.
"He must have used his break time to drive the empty double decker bus along Boon Lay Drive to check if the bus would hit the tree branch that was protruding out if the bus were to drive pass.
"Thanks to this considerate bus captain which put the safety of the passengers first, so that accidents could be prevented earlier in future." -
SMRT had quite a few cases of this le..
Hello, bus captain! You forgot to close your doors
http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=83796
STOMPer Jason saw this SMRT bus captain driving off while the rear doors of the bus were still open.
He said:
"This incident happened on August 19, at about 2.30pm at the junction of Woodlands Ring Road just after Admiralty Station bus stop.
"This bus caught my eye as the driver drove off without closing the back door.
"The plate number was TIB447C." -

I think this has something to do with the re-routing of bus routes when Joo Koon opens. -
