Transport Etiquette

Ran for the bus this morning as usual.

I've been doing that for the last 3 days as well.

The bus uncle was nice enough to wait for me.

Squeezed onboard.

I was standing on the steps at the entrance of the bus.

Together with an Indian man.

Bus stopped at a bus-stop. (Why does this sound like a dumb sentence?)

7 or 8 people got off.

And then. NOBODY moved in.

NO ONE.

7 or 8 people got off.

And yet I was still stuck on the front steps thereafter.

TMD.

Early morning make me dulan.

On a side note.

SMRT has recently launched a campaign to encourage people to move in to the center of the train, give up seats, let others go out first and well, generally be nice on public transport.

I'd say.

It's money not well spent.

Might as well hire a person(s) to do crowd control during peak hours.

One, a nagging auntie/uncle unafraid to point out people's rude behaviour makes for more effectiveness than a running ad of Phua Chua Kang singing a Singlish jingle and ridiculously prancing about in a reenactment of a train ride.

Admonishment in public works. I think.

Besides, the running ad is on a little TV screen high above the heads of the commuters.

Who would watch?

Two, job creation.

The ones in white are always encouraging employers to hire the older folks.

And they are always encouraging the older folks to continue contributing to society and the economy at large.

So SMRT, hire away. Get those uncles and aunties moving their butts!

Ok, morning ramblings.

I'd best get to work.
