Snapping bus Photos,By right Is it legal?
-
Once saw a guy snapping bus photos @ Ghim Moh Term when one of the route manager furiously shouted "Hey friend,What are you doing?"The poor guy just smiled and swiftly take some more pictures before he ran away
After that the route manager con't to mumbling in hokkien dialects which some of it i don't understand.From that incident,I refrained myself from taking pictures especially at busy interchanges.Any wise comments from wise people???

canot snap meh?

cannot ... is consider infringe of personal property
-
Hmm...Antoh, may I know who owns SBST? Since You said it was infringing of personal property......Thanks!
I think its mainly because the service providers are downright panaroid. After so many bad publicities, they are afraid to get their name tainted once again. They are also afriad tt people may post it on the net for their own 'uses', or send it to LTA or PTC and lodge some sort of complain. Recently, there had also been a continous threat of terrorism.
It is very possible to take photos without being shouted at. Just use your brains and logic!!! -

I don't see anything wrong in snapping pics of buses. Maybe try not to get the license number into the pic would help.

Oh my. Misunderstandings aren't nice at all. In that case, try to do it real discreetly.Originally posted by carbikebus:Honestly i'm asking this because i would like to try 1 day to snap photos too,But unfortunately someone misunderstand me thinking that i want to 'sabotage' him.Really jialat! -
misunderstandings can be prevented if you ask and make your intentions clear in the first place.Originally posted by carbikebus:Honestly i'm asking this because i would like to try 1 day to snap photos too,But unfortunately someone misunderstand me thinking that i want to 'sabotage' him.Really jialat! -

Thanks for the encouragement,Terminals would be better for me for a start.Originally posted by dead_clone:good luck and happy snapping. -
In my view, it is completely legal. I see nothing wrong taking photos of buses in public places, I have seen people taking photos inside buses and MRT trains. One example, those people who take photos of planes at the viewing gallery, do they get chased away? No, because they are taking photos in a public place, and not in a restricted or private area.

Tell the last sentence to TIBS Woodlands staff. In my opinion, photography is completely legal, as long as normal bus operations are not compromised.Originally posted by tranquilice:In my view, it is completely legal.

For WRI, do you mean taking photos at the bus park or at the interchange building area?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Tell the last sentence to TIBS Woodlands staff. In my opinion, photography is completely legal, as long as normal bus operations are not compromised. -
Boarding / alighting berth area.Originally posted by tranquilice:For WRI, do you mean taking photos at the bus park or at the interchange building area? -
That's ridiculous.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Boarding / alighting berth area. -
But it is true of what SBS9818 says.Originally posted by tranquilice:That's ridiculous. -
Precisely! The staff insist that the area BELONGS to them. That means whenever we enter WRI, we are TRESPASSING on private property, by their flawed logic!Originally posted by tranquilice:That's ridiculous. -
If its illegal, can i post my bus pictures at imagestation?
-
It is legal. So don't worry about posting them on Geocities or anything.Originally posted by service_238:If its illegal, can i post my bus pictures at imagestation? -

It's amazing to see so many people trespassing WRI everyday!Originally posted by SBS9818A:Precisely! The staff insist that the area BELONGS to them. That means whenever we enter WRI, we are TRESPASSING on private property, by their flawed logic!

It is not ridiculous. I was stopped once at Ang Mo Kio Temp Int too. I was told that photo taking is not allowed in the interchange. Perhaps it is to ensure security? I do not know the exact reason too.Originally posted by tranquilice:That's ridiculous. -
One possibility its because sometimes the camera flash distracts the drivers view of driving at the interchange. It may lead to an increase in accidents sooner or laterOriginally posted by off_service:It is not ridiculous. I was stopped once at Ang Mo Kio Temp Int too.
