Politically Correct in a Crazy World

Pictures from SBS website.Wonder is it safe to upload here?

I still remember the days when bus ride is only 25-35 cents(or even 20 cents).As not many people owns a car during my time,they would rather choose a cheaper means of transport.

SBS/SMRT bus seems to provide everybody's need of cheap transportation during the 80s.I remembered we had to try our best to squeeze inside the bus.Moreover,the bus is not those air-conditioned so we had to open up the top window to allow air circulation.Imagine how cramped the situation was during that time.

Normally this old bus will bring some thrills in our ride.Take for example the famous "roller coaster" slope near the Jurong Library.As the old bus lack of some suspension thingy,it will actually makes you feel like going for a roller coaster ride when the bus drove downslope.Talk about cheap-thrill.

As time goes by,the new bus is much more improved and the "roller coaster" ride becomes boring now.Maybe it's my age that is catching up.

But the old seats are very hard for our butt.Not only that,the back of the seat is made of wood.One hard lean from a very heavy person would have break the seat.I've encountered it many times before.

You won't get to see all these in our modern life.Maybe try finding it in the museum,Discovery centre or some bus factory.
