You are quite harsh to say 'crazy', calm down lah.Originally posted by SBS2671B:She drove SBS220H (BRBP 154) before, i had taken it. That crazy BC, go and demand everybody 90cent. Ask every single person who pay cash where they goind. I didnt bring card, so pay 90cent lor, my classmate also, 1 NYGH, 1 SCGS gal also pay 90cent. She really knows how to swallow money!
Too bad. Since you didnt make noise over it, you only have the option of paying 90 cents. You either make noise there and then and insist on paying 55¢ instead or you just keep quiet and dont complain.Originally posted by SBS2671B:She drove SBS220H (BRBP 154) before, i had taken it.

When I took SBS9888Y, an adult lady paid ?? cents then the BC asked where she was going. Then the woman said ''.......' and the BC said ''need to pay xx cents more''. But the woman only got one $5 note but luckily the BC got change. Conclusion about the BC: she just wants to extort some more money from the passengers. I don't think she cares about any complains at all. Majoriy of the BCs who check people's EZ-link are from BRBP/AMDEP. But some are from SLBP and HGDEP as well. ARBP/BBDEP & BNDEP not so often. But AMDEP/BRBP drivers really persist on someone (especially if you are Secondary School/JC Student) on you paying adult fares. So be warned if you are around this age and are above 1.6m and are paying cash.Originally posted by gohby:Too bad. Since you didnt make noise over it, you only have the option of paying 90 cents.

You can interpret it as she is extorting money. Another person can view it as she is doing her job. My stand on this is that if you do not insist on not paying the extra 35¢, then you deserve to pay that 90¢. If you are so resentful in giving the 90¢, then why give her the money SO EASILY in the first place?Originally posted by SBS9806J:When I took SBS9888Y, an adult lady paid ?? cents then the BC asked where she was going.

Hasn't SBS2671B already stated that he DID NOT bring his EZ-link card?Originally posted by gohby:You can interpret it as she is extorting money. Another person can view it as she is doing her job.

true, cash payments for adults means up to 27¢ extra in revenue. in contrast, when ez link is used, ez-link charges a commission of about 1%.Originally posted by ngjy22:Aiya, some BC are like that.
When last time I took SBS 604J, Service 147, 1331 hrs, 15 Mar 2007, at the 1st bus stop of Hill St, also like that. The BC only aims teenagers and children, another boy board the bus after a few stops also kenna, then a lady board after that, no prob.
Actually use cash, they shouldn't say anything, use cash (for SBST) is better, can earn 10¢ more, I'd wonder why they don't encourage us to use cash.
I think BCs like this is not a lot. For me, this month, only 1/17, so its not a big problem. Somemore most of the bus I took are from AMDEP and HGDEP, only 3 like that are from other DEPs. 3 of them are SMRT's BC, also no prob.
Like duh, since he did not bring his ezlink card, he is liable to pay adult fares. Furthermore he didnt make noise over it and paid the 90¢ without uttering a sound. So, he truly deserves to pay to adult fare.Originally posted by SBS9806J:Hasn't SBS2671B already stated that he DID NOT bring his EZ-link card?
I do agree with you on that. I think that BC likes to target children and teenagers as they are portrayed as defenseless people who wouldn't argue for themselves. So if you really want retaliate, never give 90¢ to the bus driver. And be insistent on that.Originally posted by ngjy22:Aiya, some BC are like that.

Give you a scenario, you walk into your exams, but did not bring entry proof, what will happen?Originally posted by gohby:I do agree with you on that.

FYI, my school teachers are kind enough to ask forgetful student(s) who did not bring their entry proof and thereafter, give the student(s) the teachers copy of the student(s) entry proof!Originally posted by Scania:Give you a scenario, you walk into your exams, but did not bring entry proof, what will happen?

I know that thank you. Its already stated explicitly in his post. Still dont get your stand.Originally posted by SBS9806J:He wasn't the only one who had to pay 90 cents FYI![]()
The BC cheated everyone of their money, and she was making an assumption that everyone was a dropout.Originally posted by gohby:?????![]()
So what is the point that you are trying to make???!?
Sorry, kid, the brutal truth is that they have to pay adult fares since they do not have a valid concession pass. So she didnt cheat anybody. And i think you are making an assumption that the bus driver was making an assumption that everyone was a dropout. Much as I feel that the bus driver had no flexibility in handling such concession cases, she is still theoretically right.Originally posted by SBS9806J:The BC cheated everyone of their money, and she was making an assumption that everyone was a dropout.
Maybe next time, take out a phone camera/digital camera, in front of the BC, take the photo of the BC's face, the rego, time and the location, proof to the BC that teens and children are not good to "play" with. Then send a complain to SBST, better still, go STOMP, ST Forums, Lianhe Zaobao Forums etc and after this, I don't think the BC dares to do this again.Originally posted by gohby:I do agree with you on that.
