Coincidentally, there is one Facebook page which does not have any
pictures about today's event. (Oh wait... maybe not)
Apparently, the major Facebook pages all got their own teams to
take pictures...
Personally, I feel that there is no meaning in going around in
groups just to visit places like this or see buses. And they go
there just to take picture... o.0
When Joo Koon Bus Interchange opened, they flocked there. Today
when Bulim Bus Depot open, they flocked here. Next time when Changi
Business Park Bus Terminal open, they will probably flock
there.
I do not think this is called being enthusiastic with buses.
This is called sight seeing.
I thought being a bus enthusiast only means recording sounds of
motor, enjoying the air-conditioning, enjoying the sound of the
bell, enjoying the sound and movement of the door, enjoying the
seat material, enjoying climbing the stairs, and taking pictures of
bus models?
Since when does it include visiting bus
interchanges/terminals/depots, taking away bus service guides,
tracking fleet deployment, spotting bus ads, suggesting bus routes,
tracking press releases, writing on and spamming online forums (eg.
SGforums) and having kopitiam talks about BSEP, GCM, etcetera?
Contary to popular belief, there is no fixed definition of what
activities a bus enthusiast can or should engage in. The spectrum
is very wide (and you can say, deliberately so). I wrote a
simplified list a few years ago.
