Problems in the MRT

[Cheez]

I remember this documentary I saw in China - journalist and a camera-man boarded buses to see who gave up their seats to those who needed them. Interesting, once an old lady/man/pregnant lady board the bus, many people suddenly seemed to doze off to sleep within a few seconds. All caught on camera! Even when the journalist was standing next to the people who immediately dozed off and made some snide remarks, they continue to "sleep". Interesting, they woke up immediately when it's their stop.

Recalled my wife (when pregnant with our 3rd child) was taking an SBS bus, with our other 2 kids + some bags (almost full term). Not a single person offered their seat! She had to balance herself throughout the trip. She complained to me when she got home. I was, of course, upset - that nobody offered her their seats, but more so because she went out with 2 kids and had bags and didn't take a taxi.

Cheez-mod.... I feel U ..all I can say is:

Welcome to the Singapore public transport jungle, they dont give what U need!

 

[subversion]

are you a singaporean? if you are, are you saying you are guilty?

i'm 100% singaporean.

i'm definitely guilty of buying too many guitars...

aiyah, all i can say now.

(my brain still woozy...)

to each, his/her own

if u suggested driving..u have to deal with morons too. Just a few weeks back, my family was like driving out of our gate when three malay ITE girls walked past the house. 2 of them quickly walked away to give way, but one idiot slowed down her pace, walked slowly in front of our car and said "bang me lah!"...wah it was bloody infuriating...I opened the window and yelled at her "STUPID Y****" but lucky my dad quickly drove off..if i were the one driving, I might have just stopped the car and given her face a few good punches.(and then probably regret it later)

No regrets one, this kind of people must knock some sense into them. Coming back on topic, I believe if i were a fat chubby (maybe cute) lady and some kid offers me a seat thinking i was pregnant, i would obviously feel offended and give him a tight slap. "Basket, i got more 'protection' than you means i pregnant ah?" *piak!*

 

[spinofdoom]

hmm i have no issues on mrt leh, buses can? haha

the thing that irritates me most on buses is that, you know those seats that faces each other? i can't believe some old people can happily remove their shoes/slippers then put their disgusting rotten feet up on the opposite seat. they damn relax, but who dare to sit there afterwards? damn inconsiderate lah.

AGREED.

Damn my school is somewhere near town and then to come home must take 190. But sometimes the bus very crowded and because 190 passes chinatown got all those old people who are so rude.

Like you said they put their bloody feet there and even when the bus is packed to the brim nobody dare to sit there can u imagine?
Some of those old people got athlet foot and its so disgusting. I told one off before then all the old people stare at me I didn't dare say anything aft that.

I think some old people need to go for counselling on 'Public Transport Etiquette' our parents pay so much tax and we are an ageing society shouldn't some money go into making these old people more civic minded?


Also today on the bus there was this auntie digging nose like damn song. Then after that she take her dirt and stick on the bus railing la wtf sia...

 

[faberglass]

hahaha i even saw a chubby kid eating duck rice lying down at the back of the seat in the bus with his mum LOL....

"STUPID Y****"" ?

2 things i REALLY HATE about public transport, one bus one mrt.

Bus: those bloody aunties (i dunno why they always seem to be cheena, uneducated, loud and dirty looking TO ME) who push and shove and talk DAMN loudly when they seem to think im in their way/taking up their seat. I dont understand whats their problem, behave in a CIVIL MANNER DAMNIT.

MRT: The people who RUSH IN while people try to come out. I dunno why but i really cant tolerate this one bit and everytime it happens to me, i ll just walk straight into them with force. Even kids, old men/women, as long as they are in my way and forcing to come in before im out, they get barged. And i usually try to bang as hard as possible.

Oh yea it IS quite amazing that MRT has so little/no vandalism. I ve personally seen none!

On a side note, a female friend of mine who is chubby actually acts pregnent to GET seats. People just give them to her like nothing. HAHA. Cuz shes not FAT per se but her stomach bulges (ew) so ya looks pregnant. haha

HAHAHAHAHA! And yes, i do purposely "bump" into the irritants who have a tendancy to rush into the MRT's before i step out. I mean hello? There are fricking THICK yellow lines on the floor. They put there for what, decoration ah? Sigh.

We should do a flash mob and get at least 10 people to go on a train during peak hours and then standby at the exit door all bundled up together and when we see a station door with all the dumbasses blocking the door from the platform waiting impatiently to get it, we standby and when the door opens, we chant very loudly together "SIAM! SIAM! SIAM! SIAM!!!" as we move out together, leaving no gaps at all for them to squeeze into the train.

That'll be soooo crazy fun!!!

:mrgreen:

 

[Anirudh]

As a gentleman, I always give up my seat for old folks, pregnant ladies & young kids.

Same same! haha

im proud of meself, but mostly its elderly folk, hardly pregnant women.

i hate it when commuters squeeze their way to the back of the bus even though there isnt any space and when they do realise, they squeeze their way back.

So often I've seen aunties/uncles flick their nose shit anywhere they suka-suka. But the most extreme is......one time in a MRT train, I saw this aunty digging her nose until si beh shiok (like to the point of orgasm!). Once finished, she rolled the extracted shit into a tiny ball, squished it and then rolled it back into a ball again, doing it numerous times....aiyoh, like playing with plasticine! She eventually flick her precious "gold nugget" away....but kena a schoolgirl on her back! Luckily the girl was facing another direction and didn't see or she might have freaked out. The aunty looked oblivious to what she did....just simply bo chap. All this while I was observing, there were a few other passengers who I believed also caught the show. They must be speechless!

I don't get it >_>

lol its not a vulgarity, and only people in my secondary school in our day used that slur. Better not to know! =x

Today I was in the mrt (From Orchard to CCK)

Halfway, there was this aunty, mid 40s? Walk in and demanded a seat from a beng in school uni. He was playing his psp. All he did was stare up and continued playing. Everyone was laughing! She so embarrassed but you know aunties have this 'never lose' attitude' so she just stand in front of him holding the pole and went tsk tsk tsk.. Then he took out earphone and started listening to music.. I cannot control and burst out laughing, then she stare at me and alighted at the next stop.

The train was not very crowded so everyone in that carriage saw what happen..

 

[empihsrow]

No one has ever demanded a seat from me.

I'm glad. =D
