This is not the first time you didn't queue up! Whatever on bus C9, 4 or T9!

Am I crazy or wasn't there a bus rules list for passengers at bus stops that mentioned that queue jumpers will be refused to board the bus?

If there is a decent number of passengers waiting in line then the bus driver might ask a blatant queue jumper to get off the bus, but if there is only a few passengers waiting, I doubt the driver will care.

I think chair is correct. Next time you see this woman, don't wait until the bus arrives. Tell her "pai doi, pai doi!" (get in line!)

Or you can say "Lung mei, lung mei!  龍尾、龍尾！"  But then we are making assumptions that she will understand.

Depending on my mood, I can lose my cool over queue jumping.  Once I was alone at a bus-stop when along came two ladies engrossed in chattering.  They positioned themselves strategically in front of me at the kerbside.  Sure enough, when the bus arrived, on they hopped.  Mad, I said to them "You people really don't know about queuing, do you!"  They looked quite astonished and hurt and replied, "But there is no queue here!"  "Me", I said, "I am a queue.  One person can be a queue."

Very colloquial, Garmato.  I've said 'Wai - dragon's tail!' more than once.  When accompanied by a thumb-sign in the right direction it was well understood

I knew that she is in hurry to catch 8:30 ferry to central and send her boy to Wei Lun, but you have to queue! And she occupied the priority seat while eldery and kids around, what a shame!

I still have the photo in my computer. On my trip in DB01R towardsDB, in a ccrowded bus, this man with an infant took up 3 seats. One for his bag, one for himself and the other empty seat for his infant. When someone asked if anyone using that seat he replied yes there is someone still there.

Can believe there are such inconciderate people living in DB.

There are on some occasions people who will get on the bus with a pram full of shopping without a child in sight.Last week the T4 was full, two prams in the bay designated for prams, one by the side door and another in the gangway,the bus was packed, I hope and prey that this doesn`t happen, but I can foresee a tragic accident.

I don't think there is a designated "pram bay" on any of the buses. The bay is in fact a designated space for wheelchairs (hence the padded upright and seat belt).

The new bus arrangements are definitely not wheelchair friendly as I found when assisting someone in a wheelchair recently.

You'd think once and for all, now with the new bus set-up that they would  say No! to all prams& pushchairs. the T buses seem to be packed out a lot of the time, can't see how they'll cope with prams.
I always thought a pram/pushchair was for pushing baby out and about.......anywhere is walk-able in DB, why cram these carriages in to buses?? Doesn't make sense. Makes people irate.

Agree.  What's more, they could usefully have used the new set-up to enforce strict compliance while people are geared-up to change.  Missed a golden opportunity there.

Indeed fish22, I travel to the Eastern side of the island by ferry et al at 7 a.m. and back by mtr, peak time.

I do use the DB buses a little at weekends so still have a community interest 

BH, wow, that's really bad. Old man bullying a woman with lots of bags for a non-priority seat. She should have refused to move and pointed to the empty priority seats.

It reminds of this funny  incident from 2014. A pregnant woman was offered a seat but did not say thanks. So the lady tricks her to stand up pretending her phone dropped under the seat, takes back the seat and tells her if she can't even say thanks, she doesn't deserve the seat.



As for folding strollers, I think it's a matter of time. DB is getting too crowded and it's very dangerous on a crowded bus especially when the driver is speeding. Passengers can have a serious accident tripping over and hitting their head on the metal railings.

PLG (Passenger Liaison Group) should discuss and consider what is appropriate if they will make recommendations on updating bus safety rules.
