A couple of weeks ago, I was on bus service 95 to school. Now anybody who's been on this bus before, know very well that a trip can jolly well take 25~30 mins, including waiting time. It just so happened that the bus I was on, only took 15 mins. It was the morning peak hour.
The bus driver, after pulling out from the bus-stop at JTC, didn't take the rightmost lane like all other bus drivers did. Instead, the driver took the 2nd rightmost lane. Now the traffic tailback that morning was all the way up to the JTC factory.
Seemingly nonchalent, the bus driver drove on in that lane, all the way right up to the NUH junction. Upon reaching the junction, the bus driver stopped the bus just a few cars' length before the lights, and managed to do a perfect squeeze into the right-most lane for a right-turn, just before the next car in line drove up.
The driver was an "auntie" in her 40s, I estimated. Talk about "auntie power". Great Singapore Sale, anyone?
