It was annoying the way people rushed in. I couldn't help saying, 'Wait!" and looked darkly at the aunties and uncles usually, from the heartland.berkshire_yorkie wrote:No one who's commuted into London will ever complain about the brilliant Singapore public transport system. Once you know it, the bus system has to be Singapore's best kept secret. Add in the frequent, clean, safe air con MRT and (comparetively) cheap taxis - it's completely beyond me why people almost bankrupt themselves to buy and run a car.
Agreed. I once dropped my purse containing over $4000 and my Fin card on a bus, realized that when I got on the next bus, got off it and hailed a taxi to trail the original bus going towards Suntec. The taxi stopped infront of the bus - I got on and told the driver I dropped my purse . He said, "Have a look." When I told him it's gone, he showed me my purse and asked "Is this yours?" After some identification, he returned it to me with everything intact. He said a fat bespectacled schoolboy found it. I was amazed and wrote to thank the SG transport, so happy for I would not have been able to travel to Bintan the next day without my Fin card.
Love the 84 year old lady story - my only annoyance is the way people rush onto the trains before letting people off but that seems to be an Asia thing anyway - happens when leaving a lift as well. I've nearly shoved a couple of people back when I was feeling grumpy and I saw a bloke actually do it.
Thats easy to answer. Imagine you are working in Changi Business park and you stay in Ang Mo Kio. Now tell me what public transport option are you going to use? And how agonising is it going to be? Compare that to a 20 min drive over the TPE.anneteoh wrote:I couldn't understand why S'poreans paid such exorbitent prices to drive in what's a most transport friendly place.
