i guess not many of u around when the buses in singapore were green and red

Decades ago, the SBS buses were green and red, had bus drivers and bus conductors — you pay them in cash and they give you a little paper ticket, buses shake rattle and rolled all the way, no air con, no TV Mobile. Once the bus I was on really shook and rattled more than usual. 10 minutes into the ride, there was a huge “thunk” sound — like something dropped on the road, and the bus sputtered to a stop. Some parts of the bus had fallen off the bus and was lying in the middle of the road. Howz that for crazy commuting. We passengers had to gingerly get off the bus and dash to the other side of the road and trekked our way to the next bus stop.
