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 ....

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    Motorcycle riding is a sensory experience beyond the exhaust

    Riding a motorcycle is like taking your nose on a wild adventure. You're cruising down the road, expecting to smell nothing except exhaust fumes and perhaps rubbish, when suddenly - bam! - you're hit with the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling char kway teow from a nearby coffeeshop. Heck, you might even catch a whiff of someone's fancy perfume as you zip by. It's like your bike has magical powers, transforming an ordinary ride into a sensory rollercoaster. It's these unexpected olfactory deli

    YOLO or FOMO? The perils of overpacked holidays

    You've finally escaped your daily grind, jetted off to paradise, and now you're... exhausted? Welcome to the modern vacation conundrum. In the words of a well-spoken colleague, this is "where YOLO meets FOMO in an epic battle for your precious holiday time". The overplanning trap Many of us are hardwired for productivity because we're pressed for time. Everything from errands to visits to workouts must be scheduled in a bid to save time. At times, it seems like the only goal is to

    Curry does not exist?

    Curry. When many of us think of Indian food, we naturally think of curry.  Except, well, 'curry' isn't actually a thing. Not the word, and not even technically the food that we think of.  Many of us probably think of curry as some sort of dish that has a gravy or sauce. But that is in fact a generalisation of a wide variety of Indian dishes, and also a decidedly Western invention intrinsically tied to India's Colonial past. 'Curry' as a word doesn't actually exist in the languages spok
