Ask for a lift

I attended a board meeting at Fort Canning Center. It was far away from the main road.

After the meeting, I asked a fellow director for a lift to the MRT station. I took the MRT to my home. It was quite easy.

Public tspt during peak hours can be frustrating. Train very packed and uncomfortable. Bus cannot stop because passengers refuse to walk to rear of bus.

Long distance travel like from East to places like Jurong West and Bukit Panjang is very tiring too.

Perhaps if you meet some of our ministers, you can encourage them to try the public trsnsport too.

Yes, it is always better to be chauffered than to have to drive yourself. Why so many Singaporeans prefer to be a driver than to be chauffered baffles me. I wonder how many percent of Singaporeans want to drive? Is it 66.6%?

You mean there isn't any shuttle service from Fort Canning Center to MRT? :( ... and you have to ask for a lift?

I'll tell you why I am one of the driver in this tiny red dot:

Taking MRT from East to West, plus a shuttle to book-into my previous army camp, took me almost 2 hrs. Drove my dad's car to book-in, within 30 mins I am on bed.

I used to ferry my baby to his nanny, and wife to work during the morning/evening, until one day my car met an accident, due to one merc driver making an U-turn from bus stop, without signaling (yes! merc driver don't know what's signal). The repair job took me one week.

That week, I have to carry my baby, my wife carry baby's belongings taking bus/MRT, none offer seat to my wife. Bus/MRT commuters "act blur" - common sight.

As of today, I am still ferrying my 2 sons to school, wife to work, morning and night, rain or shine, plus my work nature. My daily mileage is 150km +/-, should I take bus?

Question: Why Ministers don't take bus?
Answer: Bukit Timah nearest MRT is very far.

Don't get married, don't produce 2 sons, and you probably can take a bus.

What has the minister got to do with your family chores you have to bear.

Come on....why drag even the minister into this?

Continue your driving, you need to because you have 2 sons and a wife and a maid to fetch for 150km a day.

Blame who?
