I wasn't aware that elevators were solely to be used by wheelchair-bound people, mums with babies in strollers . . . etc . . .movingtospore wrote:After less than a year here, what absolutely makes me crazy here is people's need to cram themselves onto lifts that should be for wheelchairs, strollers, etc. when there is a perfectly good and EMPTY escalator 10 feet away. I have to restrain myself from shouting at these (mostly) young men who barge on so that little old ladies in wheelchairs can't squeeze in.
I don't get it.

It does but you have to press both up and down buttons before you get into the lift.Vaucluse wrote:It doesn't????? Damn . . .$Pripps wrote:

The protocol could be different for different occasion so always ensure you press at least few times regardless this is a lift button or already glowing red button at the crossing. For these two cases it is a proven solution - it always works. Maybe not faster but works anyway and this is what is important. A bit less obvious is to wave at the taxis with the red sign on. I've seen actually one that stopped.
have you tried pressing up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A?$Pripps wrote:x9200 wrote:It does but you have to press both up and down buttons before you get into the lift.Vaucluse wrote: It doesn't????? Damn . . .![]()

About a year ago I got myself one of those fun cards called Nets Cashcard (with Flashpay). Little did I know that it was mainly used by motorists to pay for ERP. Although most stores accept it, the staff had no clue how to let me use it (just the card itself - not even the Flashpay). For a long time about 4 out of 5 places had problems with it, like I was the first person ever to use the card with them...scarbowl wrote:Personally, I've not had any problems with credit card acceptance. However, I prefer to use my Nets card to reduce the likelihood of fraud. I think it risky to use a credit card regularly. I see CC signs in many places so don't see this as an issue.

Almost got run over yesterday by a Western lady in a Volvo SUV. What's ridiculous is that I was crossing the proper way, with the green light for pedestrians and all. And still almost get hit. Does it even make sense to report such incidents?scarbowl wrote:No potholes, few traffic jams, and few accidents even though I wish they'd enforce the rules on the motorcyclists.
