Bus driver attempts to boot NSF off bus for not having money

[Cerano]

I think the idea that they're called bus "captains" means they have a degree of discretion as to who they would like to admit onboard their vehicle.

 

You are right in that it could be an old person or a young kid or handicapped and it wouldnt make an iota of difference. However, as anyone in a service or customer-facing line, they have the prerogative, indeed the onus falls on them to make correct decisions

 

I think there should be a degree of common sense involved. Likewise if you have a blind or handicapped person will you force them off the bus simply because they are unable to afford the fare?

 

Granted rules are there for a reason but this isnt a million dollar question and anyone even a passerby would have the sense to make the right call

 

Likewise in the US if you're in uniform and check in, often you'll be upgraded for nothing as thanks for your service. Or it is not unheard of for Business Class passengers to give up their seats for servicemen.

 

I think this level of respect has to be developed here

 

 

i agree we need to be gracious.

 

the society will be gracious if the story is written by someone praising the guy who pay for the NSF, not focusing on how heartless the bus driver was.

 

and who was the one submitting the story to stomp?

I think its a different guy who submitted it on stomp. Not the Samaritan

 

I think its good to note both aspects being part of a gracious society but also denouncing what should not be the case

This isnt a life or death decision thing just letting a guy onboard or not. I dont think you need senior management to decide that

[Beehive3783]

Those whose articles are posted on Stomp get $50.

 

 

 

what $50?

 

What if someone is being hacked and needs to board bus urgently but got no cash or EZ link card?

 

Should the bus driver let him board?

It's sad that mindef cannot give all our NSFs free bus and MRT rides...

 

Urm, last I checked, SAF does not equal Score Additional Freebies.

last time my was a stay out camp

but I volunteered to stay in because I really needed the money for my uni pocket money

I was lucky because the camp had a lot of rich man kids

so I volunteered to do all the unpopular duties on special days and earn enough to not ask ffrom my parents on my first year of uni

NSF already paid an allowance and meals provided. Still need free transport? Fwah!

allowance even less than table wiper pay..

some more allowance used to buy supplies that mindef is too cheap to give. rifle cleaning supplies, black tape, comms cord, torch, battery, extra uniform.. things that e-mart credit cannot use for.

I think high time that we pay bangla to do sai kang and leave nsmen out of it.

[StefanK]

Maybe the NS boy got family financial problems, so the allowance all give to family. I don't want to compare NS then and NS now.

 

The reason I hate Stomp is because last time I sec school kid, forgot to top up card then try to take bus, bus driver also kick me off at the next stop... this type of thing is LL one. Bus driver is just doing his job, like that also need to stomp?

 

si bei jia lat...

Yes, it is utter rubbish. I remember my first bookout weekend was to "army market" at beach road where I had to buy my own supplies.... Ridiculous. But extra uniform can use emart credit la.
