Majority of the Singaporeans, US travel in public transports, don't we? Be it the:-
- STUDENTS > to school
- working ADULTS > to work
- HOME-MAKERS > to market or to fetch their little ones to school
- ELDERLY > to their children' place or even to places to catch up good O' times with friends

Many a times, I had difficulties hopping onto the feeder bus that brings me to the bus interchange. It was not because of the packed like sardines bus. But instead, it was because of the commuters who refuse to move in.
On my luckier days, the commuters do move in. But that is only when the bus driver had to stand up from his seat and like "yell" for those to move in there. Imagine to be yell early in the morning, when you are rushing for school/work, that does not seem way too pleasant to kick-start your head, isn't it?
On the other hand, on my luckless days, I often had to wait for the next bus as I could not board the one that is right before me. As a result, I am late for lessons. There was even a time when a lady who was really frustrated yelled at the commuters on the bus to move in. Perhaps the commuters on the bus might think she's being "crazy". But do stand in others' shoes, what if you were the one awaiting for the bus and yet unable to board the bus because of inconsiderate commuters who refused to move to the rear. Besides its just a couple of minutes of squeezing till 2 stops to bus interchange.
Move to the REAR, regardless of being on the MRT or BUS :)

Out of the blue of the journey, the bus suddenly "slammed BRAKE"! Those who were on their feet, would sometimes feel like they are on the verge of "flying" to the head of the bus.
(1) It seems like its because the bus driver had to stop at the bus stop for the passenger to board the bus. The BRAKE (sudden) was because of the passenger not flagging early.
(2) Otherwise, it is when a commuter on board only pressed the "Alight button" at the very last minute.
FLAG for bus early and press the ALIGHT button early!
Up the steps,
Dont look back,
Move to the rear,
Don't hold everyone back.
If someone has needs,
then give up your seat!
Tell Mr Drive early,
when it's time to alight.
All it takes are just simple steps as mentioned above for a much more enjoyable journey for YOU and ME.
