Wow, really? And all this time, I've been using my ninja skills to keep my feet stuck on the floor and keep myself from falling or something.sundaymorningstaple wrote:. However, that is why they provide grab rails, poles and hanging straps so that people have a way to steady themselves. Common sense dictates that one uses them. Or not, at their own risk.

Not one of them seem to understand the concept of gradually stepping on the gas or brake pedal. They only know how to stomp on it.
If you're standing, you will FLY if you forget to hold onto something solid, even for just 3 seconds.
It's like they just hire anyone that just walks into their hiring office. Oh wait, they do.

There are no bus stops in the Philippines. Those are shelters for rain or the sun and where street vendors can hawk their wares.ex-pat wrote:nakatago wrote:@OP, have you never taken a bus in Southeast Asia outside of Singapore?!?
@gl 456 -Go to Philippines and see who is worst, Sing driver or Pinoy drivers.....
I have one hellish bus ride on one of my holiday in the PI.
Me and my companion flagged down a bus, he stopped to pick us up only to drive suddenly leaving my companion behind. The reason police was on its tail because they are picking up passenger in an illegal spot..
Bus stops in the Philippines is not as GRAND as bus stops here in SG, and more often bus driver pick up passenger where the passenger are and not where the bus stop is...

The answer is still, "it's just you." They are not the worst in the world by any measure.gl456 wrote:I should have clarified. I meant the "worst bus drivers in the first world".
Oops...I guess i should have stated "worst bus drivers amongst countries that try to pass themselves off as first world" if I want to include Singapore. Sorry for the confusion.
