When the buses are never full during peak hours? NEVER!

Sometime in June, I commented about SBS Transit publicity blitz due to rising attacks on bus captain: http://rockingmat.blogspot.com/2007/06/stop-bullying-sbs-drivers.html

I mentioned that not only Bus Captains ( I rather call them Bus Drivers) are fearful about attacks, we the passengers and road users feel even more!!! There many many times where we, passengers, almost fell off our faces when to the bus drivers have that kinky habits of applying sudden brakes all the time, jerking the bus on every bus-stop. May be they get an emotional high when doing that....


A friend told me that everytime he reached office in the morning, he would feel tired.

Why?


This friend is putting up Buangkok Green, needs to take bus no. 88 to take him Ang Mo Kio MRT Station. That total about 10 bus stops journey which should be only takes 15 minutes can be stretched to 45 mins!!!


Why???


Because the 88 buses are always full. The next one comes along is also full. Not surprising when profits are all that matters to our dear SBS.


My condolences and prayers to the family of Gabriel Goh, the 16-year old who died yesterday after being hit by an SBS Transit bus at Hougang Central.
