    Ian Wai why I can’t blame them, if I don’t blame them, they will never improve, then in the first place don’t do public transport then? I paid for my fares so I have the right to complain, that’s not called convenience then. Only I face this with sbs other operators, at least they have other solution or tell you ahead as a courtesy manner. Not this sbs, don’t even know why they even won the tender for Yishun. Lta is blind I guess.. maybe you are a bus captain of sbs ? If you, don’t think as a driver, you should think as a commuter. Yes I understand the stress of the driver. Anyway I did not even blame the driver. It’s their management, don’t know how to manage. That’s why after seeing this video, it’s all fake.. that’s why I’m named fake account. ✌️
