checks.......cheaters....
-
Have any of you ever seen the inspector going up the bus and check our Ezlink/tickets. I have never seen one before (seen before..before Ezlink era) only on news, probably because I always take intratown(feeder) service.Which services do they usually go on board?
Are there people using ezlink cards(with concession pass) which do not belong to them? I am sure there are. Why don't drivers ask those concessionpass users to show their card?If I am not wrong ,concession users need to show their card.People may cheat.
They are also some people who tap their card few stops before they alight(not feeder service). -

Check ezlink card??? How to check??

There are alot of lazy bones. Come up the bus, scan and then scan one more time. Hope the bus conductors will ask them to pay again.

You're lucky Miss FireIceOriginally posted by FireIce:so im lucky or unlucky not to have met one for so long? -
Thats why they implemented sounds to the reader at the boarding entrance, concession cards give off a different beep and well thats one method for the bus driver to go worry about.

Yes i've seen this kinda ppl before - me.Originally posted by bus911:They are also some people who tap their card few stops before they alight(not feeder service). Apparantly i didnt do that today 
Inspectors will go up to buses with no/few standing pax and check. They will go on popular Trunk services like 56 105 etc.. -
I've only encountered one inspector before - on Sv 963. Came in, checked everyone's cards on her bulky card reader, and gave someone who didnt pay a lecture...couldnt hear anything because I was at the back of the bus, and she was at the front...and you know how noisy those SMRT Merz are

the last time i encounter an inspector was last yr august. she was carrying this longish portable scanner to scan my ez-link card to check my details.

Yes, service 963 is "popular" among the ticket inspectors. Almost daily between 4 to 6pm they will be on some buses (mostly heading towards Woodlands).Originally posted by leeJZ:I've only encountered one inspector before - on Sv 963.

Service 857 is another service with potential checks.
The latest inspector I've met was last year on sv 851, almost 11pm when he boarded the bus to check. -
I've met an inspector this year on Sv. 87, they get paid for riding on any bus they like, as long as they fill their quota of buses.

Wah.... you all so heng... I experienced 15++ times when inspector came... esp on 22 & 187.

Why you so scared? You cheat on fares ar?Originally posted by freakybuses:Wah.... you all so heng... I experienced 15++ times when inspector came... esp on 22 & 187. -
actually sometimes u can see for yourself whether if u 'attract' an inspector or not. As for me, I'd get an inspector once in a while, usually abt 3 times per year. So far I ganna twice already. I escaped from the second one because i tapped out my card already.

LMAO, I get inspectors very rarely, and I don't need to fear anything because I'm on BCP.Originally posted by service_238:actually sometimes u can see for yourself whether if u 'attract' an inspector or not.

I am still considering whether to purchase BCP or not as I may need to take the train sometimes.

If you don't do anything illegal on the bus then there's no need to be scared. I try to avoid all illegal activities on the bus.Originally posted by freakybuses:Me got bus pass one... but always on bus eat... not scared then what? Pay $500 arh? -

Basically... What I wanna say is that, there are such people who misuses another person's concession passes, such as adults using senior citizen concession passes and people who had just graduated from secondary schools and now using the concession pass without the concession, but using their siblings' concession passes. I personallt have noticed it before, and some of my service captain friends have actually caught some in the act.
What I personally've observed and heard from my service captains friends' that... There're also some passengers who tapped several stops before their actual destinations and got caught by them too. However, I personally think that though the service captains are responsible for assuring that passengers all pay correct fares onboard the buses, the bus inspectors should also be deployed at least regularly to check on the passengers who are underpaying. My service captain friends also told me that they also noticed that some passengers whom they've caught before for underpaying actually lodge a complaint in revenge and picking out mistakes that service captains sometimes accidentally made. Yeah, that's what they told me
I think I've crapped too much But anyway... I do notice that there's a drop in the regular ticket checks by the ticket inspectors for several months already. In fact, some of the bus services seldom have ticket inspectors deployed for ticket checks. For that, I suppose's the reason why passengers started to play cheat again and underpay their bus fares, because perhaps they started noticing that ticket inspectors are seldom deployed for ticket checks already, not that they are extinct They're still around of course... -
I always camp on buses on Sats and Suns... so bo pian need to eat...Originally posted by SBS9818A:If you don't do anything illegal on the bus then there's no need to be scared. I try to avoid all illegal activities on the bus. -

They still do check tickets of cash-paying passengers. The last time I witnessed was on the 506 some time ago. Ticket checks are not really extinct after all...Originally posted by TIB744U:.
