I just witness an incident today. After lesson today, a handicap bus arrive at the bus stop and a man with his wife, I believe, wanted to alight the bus. At first, I didn't know what was going on as I had the mp3 plugged into my ears. I saw a woman alight the bus and waited at the exit looking like she will board the bus again. Then everyone else in the bus was squeezing here and there. This particular lady, that looks like she weight at least 120kg refuse to move out of the way to let someone move. After about 10 seconds, the bus driver went to the exit of the bus and ask some of the passengers to move away. Then he did something which I saw for the first time! He lifted a handle on the floor board of the bus and Tadah! The floor extended and rested nicely on the pavement! The handicap man was then easily wheeled out of the bus!

Through this incident, I saw 2 things. 1st was the clever invention of the handicap bus. I finally knew how the handicap friendly bus works!

As for the 2nd, I saw the ugly side of Singaporeans. This is the one side of what I commonly see and encounter in Singaporeans. They always think bout themselves and not others. Out of every 10 of them, I only see 2 of them alighting public transport to allow other passengers to alight. There was once I couldn't tolerate them that I loudly announce, "These people are damn selfish! They don't even know how to alight and let other people to alight." I said this because, I wad squeezed between alighting passengers and those who refuse to let them out. I was painfully squeezed to the corner and my arm was pressing onto handrails. Aren't they inconsiderate?

This also reminds me of another incident when I was MRT. I wanted to alight and this stupid, act highclass, english speaking and think she is of a higher class compared to me, walked into the train without letting me alight! The train was so empty and there were around 2 colleagues alighting with me at that door. I refuse to move out of the way to let her board the train as I had the right to alight first. I hit her real hard on her shoulders and she stood at the door and had the cheeks to scold me, "Idiot!". And I just stared at her while she frowned and stared me back. I felt real good though cause I hit her real hard and I had no worng. I should have said, "Don't you have the courtesy to let me alight you moroon." and let her be embarassed for the rest of her train ride.
