some bus drivers have this stupid attitude that they will onli open the doors... onli ONCE at each stop...
juz nw... at bugis there... saw my bus halt at the bus stop... i run there... wave at the bus... signaling the bus driver to open... the bus driver look at me... and shake his head to indicate he nt opening the doors...!!! wt... i blur then later this gal tell me juz nw the door open liao... so won open again... wat kind of attitude is this? end up i have to wait 15 mins in the sun for the next bus...
the bus is 145... bus number SBS115D... idiot leh...
does SBS have this rule tat each bus onli open the doors once at each bus-stop? nt first time liao lor... -
Normally the driver will open the doors provided he is INSIDE the bus bay. If he's outside of the bay he has no obligation to open the doors for you as it is illegal for him to do so.Originally posted by weidev:some bus drivers have this stupid attitude that they will onli open the doors... onli ONCE at each stop...

For bus stops without bus bays, only the first and second buses are allowed boarding and alighting activities.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Normally the driver will open the doors provided he is INSIDE the bus bay.

There is no such rule that public buses open their entry and exit doors only once at each stop.
-
seems tat it is an unwritten rule among a group of bus drivers then...

well it's just bad luck to meet such drivers... i had met some worse drivers... one who yelled at you cos he cldn't see ur bus concession when u flased too fast ..... one who told u to use ur brain when everyone alights from the back but u choose to alight from the front as u were sitting right in front.... one who refused to move off becos u are still searching for ur coins.... etc etc...
but then again there are drivers with good attitudes... there was once this driver waited for me even tho i didnt make the effort to catch that bus, then when i realised the driver was waiting for me i ran there.... and drivers who would greet u when u board the bus etc.....
i guess bus drivers shld take note of their attitude since they are in the service sector... i mean it's understandable that they have had a long and tiring day, but being courteous to the passengers is part of their job too, not merely driving us around the town... im not trying to ask too much here but this is just something u are obligated to do once u are in the service sector... not easy... -
If i were you, i would use the door cock and open the front door.. Then the driver got nothing to say... If he dare to rebutt, lodge a complaint.Originally posted by weidev:some bus drivers have this stupid attitude that they will onli open the doors... onli ONCE at each stop...

have u ever thought why u were told off by the drivers? though I agree that the driver shouldn't have yelled, have u realised that it was a mistake on the passenger as well?Originally posted by justsayit:well it's just bad luck to meet such drivers... i had met some worse drivers... one who yelled at you cos he cldn't see ur bus concession when u flased too fast ..... one who told u to use ur brain when everyone alights from the back but u choose to alight from the front as u were sitting right in front.... one who refused to move off becos u are still searching for ur coins.... etc etc...
Why do u have to flash ur buspass fast? Shouldn't u give the driver a reasonable time to look b4 keeping ur pass? Do u expect him to have an eagle eye?
for a smoother flow, it would be better that 1 alight at the back while the rest board in front. there r of course exceptions, like a crowded bus, etc.
and i dun see anything wrong for the driver to wait for the passenger to pay b4 moving off.
I simply don't see why these drivers are worse than the 1 who did not open the door even though he should. -
If this is the case, then AMK Ave 3 bus stop os Blk 700A will surely create traffic jam! There will always be 4 buses allowing boarding and alighting facilities just because that is the length in between 2 traffic lights! Sometimes there will be a serious jam and worse still, there was once when an accident occured at the junction of St 22 and Ave 3 (Common accident area) and the road jammed like mad!!! Waited quite a long time for my bus!!! Occured sometime during my Primary sch days.Originally posted by tranquilice:For bus stops without bus bays, only the first and second buses are allowed boarding and alighting activities. -
heng i v heng..everytime see bus goin away wave wave the bus driver open for me..mayb see me lau ah ma...ke lian me
-
Well, at least he gestured that he won't open the door. For me, most of the time, the driver would just simply ignore me, acting as if I was totally invisible to his bloody eyes. He either turned to look at the opposite side or he would just stared blankly at the windscreen and pretend that nothing is happening.
Cheers and warm regards -

If I remember correctly, the bus stop you mentioned has bus bay. In my previous reply, I was referring to bus stop without bus bay.Originally posted by freakybuses:If this is the case, then AMK Ave 3 bus stop os Blk 700A will surely create traffic jam!

confirmed no bus bays... i take bus from there everyday at least twice!Originally posted by tranquilice:If I remember correctly, the bus stop you mentioned has bus bay. In my previous reply, I was referring to bus stop without bus bay. -
For me I've never had such experiences. Most time I'd run for the bus and the driver would willingly open the door for me.
-
well not that i want to flash it fast, but most of the times the bus drivers really couldn't be bothered to see it, and there are other people boarding the bus too, i mean if u got so many drivers who can't be bothered to see ur pass then u wld be used to flashing it fast
i admit that the passengers should sometimes think for the driver, but they could still ask politely.... so wat if they haf a bad day? that doesnt give them a right to humiliate others in front of so many people -
i encountered tons times of this dam thing when i was schooling
the drivers should have open the door when he's still around busbay!
