hi hi,


for me, besides the care and convenience of those who need more assistance, am concern with the fact that parents are not allowed to bring unfolded/open prams on board buses.

yes, i agree that there are inconsiderate parents who ramp their prams onto others, or justblock the whole, walkways etc. however, that shouldn’t stop other considerate parents from using it?

those who hv voiced against it, hv theyconsidered the fact that tocarry a baby, or a sleepingtoddler, a bag, and pram singly is quite a balancing act that puts the parent andbaby at risk?

some may say, buy a car? which is really not easily affordable… take A cab! but, cab is not always the most convenient, and for someine like me who has more kids, soon iwould need to take, 2 cabs? and o jugle wih a baby is not easy.not to mention that sometimes u cn’t even book a cab successfully?

public transport isn’t it meant for all? incl. those less fortunate who need more help? unlike european c 'tries where the less abled and parent with prams are helped by the public and the bus /tram drivers, here, they are not even being helped many a times. even taxi drivers. how’s that for a gracious society?

just some ransom thoughts…

[hquek]

There’s always many sides to anything. I’ve seen prams in MRT that are open - taking up a lot of space, and the baby/kid is NOT in the pram. But that’s MRT.


Anyway, buses have fairly narrow walkways. To have a pram that is open, would that not invite more trouble if pp have to squeeze past the pram to get to the end of the bus?

[LOLMum]

with the giant prams most pp are using now, it is impossible to take it up the bus folded or unfolded cos of the narrow passageway.


boarding at the exit door is fine provided there is room for the parent to park the pram unfolded.

[concern2]

It is seriously NOT CONVENIENT carrying prams onto the buses. I’ve carried folded strollers and it’s already very obstructing. Don’t expect to be able to ‘push’ them in there!

I would prefer to see what is being improve, rather than just to see his photos appear again to show he is taking the public transport.

Give Mr. $$ (Lui) a chance lah. He's been in the ivory tower for too long already...
Maybe he's already formulating solutions in his mind while he's waiting :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:

better still drive the train personally to understand what 'technical fault' is about and how to cut down on the occurence :evil: :evil:

[LOLMum]

Meanwhile pick up some m.i.w along the way. Ie. if they are willing to travel like the 小人物.

frankly,personally, thus far, I've always taken cab when I'm with a baby and with my pram. but I've seen and helped some mothers struggling with their prams which are worrying since some seem to not be able to balance so many things incl .pram while carrying their babies while boarding or alighting buses.


I'm not saying that it's ok for those with pram to block the whole walkway, or recklessly ramping others with their prams which I've also encountered before. but if if we try to be more considerate, parents with prams included, I'm sure perhaps something can be worked out. like some who stand and place the pram where the area for wheel chairs are so they wouldn't block the whole walkway on the buses?
like some others hv shared earlier, there are of course different arguments and reasons... but sometimes, I think comparing to some European cultures/countries, there is more we can do to help/provide to those who need a bit more assistance on board public transport.

[LOLMum]

It is much easier to take train or bus if you dont live in or just outside city centre in foreign land, IMO.


Was on bus (not in spore) and a lady came on board with pram but there was another parked in the area meant for pram n wheelchairs. It was a shouting match peppered with colorful words :oops: when one party refused to move a bit for both prams to be parked properly. Bus driver wasn't bothered and didn't get involved.

Some pp have been calling for a ban on parents with prams from taking the trains and buses during peak hours.
