Today 13 April 2010 Tuesday,
As per usual, I reached Jurong Point Interchange at around 8.30pm today. I was waiting for bus service 154 at its bus berth.
Before I start waiting I went to take a look at the LCD display which shows what time does the next bus arrives.
The display shows 8:42pm, which means that I only need to wait for around 10 minutes for my bus to arrive.
At 8:45pm, the bus captain has still not yet arrives. At the same moment, I was wondering, perhaps the bus driver is having his dinner, etc. Thus, I decided to wait further.
Which waiting, I glanced at the LCD display once again, this time round, it prints, 8:53pm. I guess no choice, “bo bian” need to wait further…
Around 8.55pm, 3 bus captains came to the bus berth which I was in and I was really HAPPY!
Unfortunately, they went onboard 3 different bus 154 and all drove off displaying the sign on the LED display, “OFF SERVICE”!
Pauses for a minute, all 3 buses at the same time “Off Service”?
Not only so, the LCD display wasn’t accurate at all. Don’t you think this is too suspicious? I do know some people in this industry; this is definitely not the industry practice at all!!
There could be genuine reasons, but this is just too ambiguous!
Oh My God!
When the 3 bus captains drove away from the interchange without any passengers, I noticed all fellow commuters, their face turned BLACK!
Definitely my face turned BLACK too . . .
Waited for the bus again . . .
Finally around 9.06pm, I managed to board bus 154 after much ordeal.
