I don't think we get to see the Train Driver much. BTW, aren't they called 'Train Operators'?
Anyways, if the train was in motion and I saw the train operator driving by, I don't think I'd be too happy to see him because, hey, he's supposed to be in his carriage monitoring the train!
TIBS Bus Drivers, IMO, are more polite than SBS bus drivers in general. There are a few TIBS bus drivers who would actually greet you with a cheerful 'Good morning / afternoon / evening!' when you board. TIBS bus drivers also tend to wait for you if they see you running for the bus.
The bus drivers on the SBS buses that I take to and from work are sometimes not bad. If I'm in uniform and they see me running for the bus, they'll stop for me.
They are pretty kind to 'missy's.

few yrs back, i once dropped my hp thru the gap between train and platfrom. i forgot to zip my pouch, the moment i walk out of the door my hp dropped, and so accurate that it go thru the gap....... lucky i was at the last cabin last door. But i know i am not supposed to go down to the track to take it myself, so i went up to station control(Bishan MRT), and the staff took the trouble to come down and help me take it look.
bcos it's at the last cabin, so it's very fast for the staff to walk down and take it back for me, if i dropped in the middle part of the train, i may need to pay a fee for stopping the train and let the staff walk all the way to take it. -
last time i take 852.......there will be this driver who is too courteous......
i flash bus pass he will say thank you!! (and to each and every student tt board the bus)
uncle come up the bus he will say "uncle ni hao!"
auntie alighting he can see in his rearview mirror......"auntie! zou hao!"
quite cute lah......but can get a bit irritating......... -

For information only. In SBST and SMRT, there are no such thing as bus drivers, they are known as bus captains and service captains respectively.Originally posted by shade343:I think Bus driver more friendly...they smile more often...
The "drivers" on the MRT trains are Passenger Train Operators aka PTO. They don't drive the trains. -
