FREE ride on TIB637X of Service 960 yesterday!Thanks to SMRT's "excellent" and "wonderful" frequency...
Following SBS2795C incident last Monday, the next day, after I met Wei Chuen for the resume thingy at Far East Plaza KFC, we took Service 190 to Whitley Rd and transfer to Service 960... Guess what? I really have sort of Republic Polytechnic bus advertisement luck... Never ever did I expect TIB516L (permanent bus of Service 189 under Kranji Depot, the only Kranji Depot bus that has this advertisement) to come, and we just boarded it. Not that crowded for that one...
Upon reaching Whitley Rd bus stop, we alighted and waited a few minutes for Service 960. Guess what? TIB637X the Scania rigid bus arrived, and front door is jam packed with people, so......... Like what I did the day 2 days before yesterday, just dashed in without hesitation from the exit door since got some people alighted over there. Wei Chuen and 1 more lady whom we don't know of, just followed my style and just entered from the exit door like that as well. That lady tried to tap her card but failed because the ez-link reader mode is set to "exit" mode. I told Wei Chuen, that if the driver don't want to set the ez-link reader to "entry" mode, we got a FREE ride, and he also cannot do anything, since this particular service is well known for super bad frequency and the fact that SOME INCONSIDERATE PEOPLE JUST DON'T WANT TO MOVE TO THE BACK!! And I told Wei Chuen that if the driver want to yell and scold at me, let the driver be, I am just NOT GOING TO GET OFF THE BUS until I reached Bt Panjang... Thankfully, the driver didn't do anything and just close the exit door and drove off.
I guess.... This is going to be a REAL new trend, given the INCONSIDERATION of some people out there, and the SUPER POOR FREQUENCY that both the 2 major bus companies in this public transport industry have (especially SMRT BUSES)... This is what we called the "1st class public transportation" with "3rd class services" brought to their fellow commuters.... Well done!! Keep it up and I shall practice more of such stunts...!!
Hope you guys enjoy your day too! Cheers and God bless! ^_^
