Just another of my ideas...
Heres what can I think of:
Drivers:
1#: The one who is always soaking wet from driving
#2: The old one who is actually really good
#3: The one who shows off his skills (especially young ones)
#4: The one who tries to make driving pleasant but not appreciated by passengers
#5: The one who thinks driving is a competition between others
#6: The one who just wants to keep driving and end up sleeping
#7: The one who dosent know where he is going or even where is he now (Very rare)
#8: The normal one
#9: The one who bursts all the time
#10: The one who suddenly screams out of nowhere
I come up with passengers soon
Meanwhile what are others out there?
the driver that allows/does not allow u to snap his/her bus 🤣
Try your luck on SBS6727Z. I last saw him on that bus
All, I see more and more bus drivers driving so slow which is as good as crawling just to ensure they keep to time schedules. I find this nonsensical. They want to ensure some passengers are able to board the buses but let’s be practical. Even if they miss the bus, there is always another bus coming up in less than 10 minutes. There is no need to purposely do until this extent and let many others on board the current bus wait aimlessly for few minutes. Just let it be natural and no need for this sort of crawling and worse, bus stopping there for few minutes with no people in sight. Cheers. Thanks.

Hi mr sbs2792K, it is too much of an overkill. Cheers. Thanks.
LOL then u had to walk all the way home? Lucky ur home not very far away haha
Oh ya. Theres also one who likes to act cute go put minions all over the bus
The driver who is picky over what model they are driving.One of the BC at my area drive O405G in a very scary manner yet drive A24 very stable.

Haha if you drive the O405G the same way as a A24, of course the O405G will look very scary. O405G is 17 years ago technology, that model dont even have ABS iirc. The MAN technology on the A24 makes it a lot more stable even if the driver is violent. Is just like the Volvo Olympian Vs Volvo B9TL also.

That BC attitude also very different.Plus last time when she haven't perm any a24 yet, her O405G were much more stable.

I was alone inside the bus with BC throughout Junction 10 all the way to WTBI. Then he stopped at Sg Kadut for 1 min sia open door waiting for ghost enter then he do that at Marsiling MRT and KJ MRT. Nobody board sia by the time it was almost 1am and all bus finish already. How like dat sia for last bus, i tot last bus always damn fast
With based on mileage and frequency contracting,It's wiser to be late 1-3 mins for every bus stops for 1st & last bus.LTA will fine you minimum of $96 for failing the 1st and last bus.
I hate yayapapaya BC who still think that interchanges/Terminals and buses belong to their company.Feel like wanna punch that bugger face

Because he know O405G don't have telematic system thus SMRT can't access to his driving behaviour,Same goes for SBST BCs driving MK IVs,VOs and VSOs

Totally agree with this... its just downright frustrating having your journey time increase because of buses that move at a snail's pace all thanks to some stupid LTA rule... Honestly what much of a difference does it make waiting a few minutes longer for a bus as compared to bus arriving early yet drive at 25-30km/h max speed and/or stopping at empty bus stops? Had really bad experiences with slow driving buses in the past, was even late for an appointment because of this...
Originally posted by Sbs6750E:Nowadays I think SBST speed is faster than SMRT ones. Still remember sv 965 o405 flying pass a sv 161 VO along SLE at speed of 75-80 kmh.
Because of massive fleet additions over the years...SBST upgrade a bus at one time but SMRT add 2-3 buses with more flexible duty for BCs
And majority SBST Mealbreak/rest time is shorter and that encourage the BCs to arrive a bit earlier at termination point

So envious. Bus drivers can afford to be late nowadays. Used to be penalised during my time. Late for 3 minutes and there goes the precious break.
For some cases yes,I've ever late for 21 mins and BOCC just ask me to go toilet and move after that..Subsequent trip slightly late for 6 mins only
