As for now, 106 is fully double decker svc
106 I noticed Sundays and PHs all DDs.. At least 5 to 6 3 door DDs.
Report about bad bus driver of Bus 106 who did not stop to for 5 ppl waiting at marina Boulevard (stop 03381) on 16th Apr 2024 at 22.17 pm. Passengers waiting at that bus stood up when they saw 106 bus approaching but driver did not stop!!! This is unacceptable! Please take necessary disciplinary actions.
The passengers stood up, but did they flag the bus? Standing up can mean a lot of other things than just flagging the down the bus, however if you make the effort to put out your hand and signal your intention to the Bus Captain, then the Bus Captain definitely will stop the bus for you.
So back to my first question, did they put out their hand? If yes, then your statement is valid, if not, they deserve to wait for the next bus or even better get banned from taking buses. Ha!
These self entitled goodoos think by looking and standing driver knew they want to board the bus unless that particular bus stop only serve 106…passengers nowadays treat bus captain like their chauffeur.Vukimak all these ppl
