transport with keropok

A few days ago I had a nice email conversation with a blogger friend. (ok, it sounds kinda primitive, nowadays few would exchange email unless it's email war) He just came back from his Europe trip and he shared with me what he observed on the transport system there. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing here :)

He said that in the trains in London, people also don't shift to the middle of the carriage. That sounds like a global phenomena, isn't it? :P He also had the chance to ride the new London buses after they got rid of the routemasters. He sounds impressed.

Oh and he mentioned the Oyster Card, which is similar to our ezlink card. It seems to have more friendly features than ours though.

It is interesting to note that both Hong Kong's Octopus and London's Oyster Card make use of seafood name, and my experience with the Octopus was fantastic. Maybe Singapore should come up with the Crab Card!
