Isn't school uniform a form of identity?

Of course not lah, silly gal.
TNP: Wed 27 Jun
If can ah, I shall take out my old school uniform and get cheap rides. I dun look my age after all, more like an upper sec student. Though I dun think it fits now.
Isn't school uniform a form of identity?
I am a secondary school girl studying in the east.
On 26 Jun, I boarded bus service 76 at 2.44pm after school.
Upon boarding, I realised I had carelessly left my ez-link card in school.
So I explained to the bus captain that I did not have the card with me.
Before I could take out the student fare of 55 cents to pay, the bus captain told me to pay the adult fare of 90 cents.
The reason? I did not have my ez-link card to prove my identity as a student.
Despite the attempts from two of my friends to try to reason with him, it was to no avail.
The bus captain was not very professional when we asked for an explanation. He was not very flexible either.
What I don't understand is, I was in full school uniform, so isn't that a form of identity as well?
The bus captain even replied at one point: "Hey, I am wearing a uniform too what." ( )
It was incredulous and I was speechless.
Fed up, my friend told me to just pay 90 cents.
I don't mind paying the 90 cents, but I would like an explanation from SBS Transit on this matter.
Why couldn't the bus captain acknowledge that the school uniform identifies me as a student?

I kenna this MILLIONS of time ler.
Full school uniform doesn't mean you're a student apparently.
It's their company policy to actually check your ez link.
SMRT is more lenient. -
The bus driver dun care 1 la.
If the bus driver think u dun look like a kid then he tell u pay more 1 larh. -
they are encouraging more students to bash up drivers.

it's only the practical thing to do
-

any tom, dick and harry can wear school uniform too... if you are a student and want to enjoy the benefit that you are allow too, then bring your student card...
