Story: My Cousin and me 23 and 20 respectivly were sitting on a full bus when a elderly guy with a cane came on so, my cousin offerd her seat first (she was on the outside) and the old dude declined because she was a women.... Sooo she looks in my direction... But, at the time I really had to take a crap and couldn't stand up on a shaking bus for fifteen minutes... Long story short I ended up giving my seat away and getting off at the next Seven Eleven to take a dump. Yea, Taipei buses are packed to breaking point and people still will move aside for elderly. | ||

I was on the phone while driving and this guy just freaked out on me, started beeping me and pulled up beside me at the stop lights and made gestures of disapproval. I ignored him and continued speaking on my phone and he follows me for another 2minutes, all the while beeping me. I finally get done with my call and glance at his direction and hes got a camera out taking pics of me lol. after that he speeds off. I just need to make it clear that I did not violate any other traffic rules during all that time and I do not agree with any law that says I cant have a phone to my ear while driving. Ironic that he'd do something that's a bit more dangerous/distracting while driving to 'bust you' in the process of violating some minor traffic law | ||

unrelated, but here's something : + Show Spoiler + From: xxxxx [mailto:xxxxxxx@xxxxxx.com] Sent: 20/07/2007 00:00 To: SMRT Corporate Communications Subject: Feedback regarding bus captain of xxxx123x of service xxx Hi, I would like to feedback regarding the bus captain of xxxx123x of service xxx from 1030pm to 1100pm, 19 July 2007. I have enjoyed TIBs bus services for 8 years or so; always liked the comfortable seats, air conditioning and trips to and from my school day memories. Seriously speaking, SBS can't hold a candle against TIBs; I will be bias that I've never liked SBS. However just because of a single incident, I am now seriously considering never to take service 700 again, deciding to alternatively take 190 or 960 to town areas. I am not angry but just pretty much disgusted and more importantly, disappointed. I boarded the bus from parkmall and intend to alight at bukit panjang. Coming up on board, my friend and I took a pair of opposing seats that are facing everyone. I took out my glasses to rest my eyes while listening attentively to my friend speaking to me. Halfway through the journey, the captain came over my side and asked me if there is anything wrong with my eyes in mandarin. At first I didn't understand what was he trying to say since 1-I was having sore eyes that day, 2-both of my eyes are more than 800 degrees, and to top up with dimmer lighting due to the night, I would be partially blind, unable to see anything beyond 30 cm. When he asked me give up our seats for 2 elderly standing behind me, I got up immediately. However, he should have asked a more appropriate and thoughtful question and giving a more gracious response to the situation. I was utterly disappointed with captain with his lack of sensitivity and understanding, considering the manner he approached me was that he deliberately wanted to pinpoint at me, giving the tone of his voice. I would have zero awareness of the 2 elderly standing behind me after they board the bus since 1- they are out of my sight of view, 2- I can't see a thing at all, 3- I am focused on my friend. I do not expect anything, but just wanted to voice this out in a justifiable manner. Thank you for your precious time reading this. -- Regards, xxxxx their reply + Show Spoiler + Our Ref : SMRTPR07/TWAFD/1127 Dear xxxxxx Thank you for your response. Please be assured that we will look into this matter and determine the appropriate action to take against the service leader concerned.

Yours sincerely xxxxxx (xxx) Senior Officer, Customer Relations Corporate Marketing and Communications SMRT Corporation Ltd i don't think i see that driver around anymore... lol since i always take the same bus almost everyday. | ||

Couldn't the driver just say, "move back, or I'm not driving"? | ||
