Had a mini gathering of sorts with several ex colleagues on 30 Aug. All but two are no longer with $mrt. Special guest of the day was Yeo MH. Needless to say, we caught up with one another and shared a joke or two.
A takeaway from the session:
- HOW I DO NOT MISS BUS WORKSHOP AT ALL - Jon was picking up calls from my ex-boss (still current staff) See BH and shared the number of VOR buses at KRJ Depot was so high, there was insufficient parking space. The culprit? The engine of the double deck ADL buses... the first double deckers owned and operated by $mrt, the model that we 假厉害 and brought into Sg as the industry-first. At that time, noticeably playing catch-up was the lack of local presence and after-sales support. How am I not surprised that after 10+ years, the situation has not improved by much? And maintenance being maintenance, users will be looking at you to resolve the problem, this is an example of many external factors beyond my control which extremely frustrated me then. Furthermore, the nature of bus wksp is very operational-based and doesn't allow the mind to "switch off"... I am massively thankful I left before I started a family.
