Last weekend, I took bus CT 18 from the bus stop near my flat to Chinatown. The waiting time for CT 18 can be quite long as its frequency is not very regular. I decided to find myself a seat at the bus stop. There are two rows of benches at the bus stop

These are essentially a bum-rest, not quite meant to be a bench. So It make sense to have it slightly tilted. But why some are tilted and some are not...maybe LTA also couldn't make up their mind if these are meant to be bum-rest or bench.

if it's really the case, shouldn't the authorities do something about the homeless guy? like getting him into a job or whatever to earn himself a roof instead of coming up with such designs where 1 couldn't stand or sit against it properly?

 

just my point of view.

They should have made the bum-rest slightly lower. I'm 1.73m but when I try to keep myself from sliding in a position as described, my feet can't touch the ground.

Is my first time yesterday that I had step into a bus-stop after about 15 years . Didn't even noticed that the seats have became slanted bench . Tried sitting on it , is really not comfortable at all . Maybe I'm short .

In addition , the new fleet of buses are all equipped with cameras internally and externally . All out to catch those passengers for not paying the fares and drivers that went into their bus lane . So scary ....

  • Space: Large and Empty

    Over the weekend I fell into a bit of a science-fiction/science rabbithole. You know, one of those when you click on ONE Youtube video and suddenly the whole Sunday afternoon is gone and your algorithm is all messed up.  Anyway, obviously there's tons of fascinating stuff about space and science and all that. Too much, really.  But one fun fact has stuck in my brain: All the other planets in the Solar System could fit between Earth and our Moon.  It seems crazy to think, consideri

    We are creatures of the air-con

    I've often wondered: How much work would get done today if offices were not air-conditioned? What if the only air-con we could enjoy was only in shopping malls and supermarkets? Images of stuffy offices fill my mind. Despite the availability of fans to circulate air, the oppressive heat and humidity will lower our productivity. Many of my colleagues and I experienced this in our previous office, where the ancient air-conditioning system would have a monthly breakdown. For two days, the

    Listening to music while working: Does it actually help?

    It’s likely a common sight in every office you set foot in: Workers with their heads buried in their desktops/laptops, earbuds dutifully plugged in (or headphones chucked on). Having a tune to go into battle alongside you against anything that happens at work seems to be as essential as having a caffeinated drink perched on the table, it seems. Thus also arises the question, however: Does a symphony of melodies really serve as the secret ingredient to unlocking peak productivity? The debate
