Talk about breaking other people's ricebowls, and to say it with such glee

doing something which is unacceptable must be stopped.

actually i just wonder what kind of circulars were passed down prompting the staff to react in that manner, because he seem confident that that was a guideline or SOP that he was merely following.

Because those words are from SBS Transit corporate communications in the article.

Try reading the whole thread from the beginning again, note TOC's incident date and date of reply, and the date dan474 wrote in.
You'll find everything suddenly just falls into place.

I heard from an interchange staff that because some big shot recently kept complaining, SBS Transit has now tightened up its security policies.
On top of interchange shots, snapping of any SBS Transit buses on the roads or from inside without written permission from corpcomms is now banned and will result in the Police being called in.
Strangely, this ban excludes Wrights and Citaros.
On 17 Aug 2011 at about 9.30am (article posted by TOC on 22 August)
TOC photographers noticed an accident along Marine Parade Road.
Quote from article > "A staff of SBS Transit who was with the vehicles that met with the accident, then stopped our photographer from taking any pictures of the accident. And not only that, he insisted that our photographer had committed an offence and compelled him to go to the nearest police station."On 18th August 2011 at 10:18PM
dan474 emailed to check on the claim made by ghost79 on this thread. The following reply was recieved.
on 19th SBS Transit replied.
In what way is dan474 related when he emailed for the clarification of your wild claim?
And for the record SBST replied too : "Our staff did not comply with company guidelines when he stopped Mr XXX from taking photographs and insisted that he accompany him to the Police station. There was also no need for him to identify himself as a Public Transport Official given that there was no fare enforcement action taking place"
it was the staff's lapse! -

It was a seperate matter.
now for your wild claim :

How do you explain it when the company had no such rules enforced? -

why breaking the peace again...
A brand new BLUETEC5 Citaro produces as much black smoke as a 19 YO leyland olympian... And being the only bus in SG with its exhaust pointed at kerbside, may not be good for passengers waiting for bus...
-
Assuming that the TOC's photographer act of taking photographs does not impact on the staff's livelihood after the incident had happened, I find no reason why the staff will actively protect a company's interest unless compelled to do so. So, if the company takes action against the staff, it will show how much the company places on the staff's value to the company.

I think I've better say this, since it's getting out of hand
Your want to know why BI pics are actually frowned? Who knows you're taking pics of the piling structures and so on especially at those integrated hubs or Changi Airport.
Anything further as to why ppl uses pic taking, I'll refrain from explaining it here.
