Don't Call Us Otakus: Singapore's Bus Enthusiasts

"Why not go out, take a bus to wherever. If you're always taking the same bus route, why not take it to the end and see where it goes? What would you discover? Who would you meet?"
To us, buses and trains may be simply public transport, but to Chris and Santhosh, they are a passion. They shared insights into being a bus enthusiast in Singapore and shed some light on their misunderstood passion.

If you are going to be a driver (delivery, chauffeur etc) when you need to know the roads, taking buses is one way to 'see' the roads physically after you see the electronic road guides.

[@SubZero-qi9hk]

Each and everyone have their own interest. My interest are collecting Antique Alarm Clocks,Soft Drink Bottles and Cameras..

[@charlesstanley2411]

Buses, & bus drivers, are a blessing !

Oh, this reminds me of my classmate who is also a bus enthusiast. It used to be a popular hobby here in Indonesia. I didn't know there were bus enthusiasts in other country as well
Anyway, I really admire how dedicated you guys are to your passion! I wish I had that kind of mentality :"

[@harrykekgmail]

Keep it up!
I also love the Singapore buses.

[@ixii0003]

no way tht indian dude is 21, i’m 22 and he looks 10 years older than me

[@timelapsesofsingapore5674]

I agree with both of them. But I'm not only a bus enthu. I'm interested in many other vehicles too. But they all are not really a strong hobby.

[@bluemoondiadochi]

OK, i'm more into trolleybuses, but my reasons for liking them is about appreciation of something that isnt appreciated but just humbly serves and does so much good with asking very little in return. That's why i like them. And Trolleybuses are perhaps most misunderstood form of public transit.

[@someshsalunke2731]

I am really curious about the new Yu Tong electric busses. They have really good pickup and acceleration, but the aircon is really loud. Spoils the vibe of the silent ride.

[@turtledude9176]

Agreed

[@SGP-lq8zc]

I'm a bus enthusiast too and train

[@rajblack2055]

Taxi drivers also experience alot people n places.

[@busloxwcko7randy]

I am a bus enthusiast. Enjoy riding buses and trains, plus hearing the motor sounds of them like how powerful are they in terms of their model. 😂

Used to know a guy in Primary School who collected bus tickets. I'd give him mine and he'd give me "points" based on the "rarity" of the bus number.
