An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
STOMPer Pearl said she got into an argument with a bus driver when he refused to drive the bus if she did not fold up her baby stroller.
The STOMPer said she is familiar with the rules by public bus operators that state that strollers and prams have to be folded up due to safety reasons.
However, as her destination was only 2 bus stops away and her baby was fast asleep inside, her husband carried the stroller with the baby sleeping inside.
In an email to STOMP, the STOMPer wrote:
"I hope it this will raise public awareness and get the authorities to consider more appropriate measures for mothers commuting with babies and strollers.
"Today (July 7), at around 2.30pm, my husband and I, my son and my sleeping daughter boarded bus 111.
"Upon entering the bus, the bus driver insisted that we carry our daughter out of her stroller, instead of leaving her in the pram.
"He said that this was for safety, if for instance the bus comes to a sudden stop.
blah, blah, blah. Only thinks she is right!
