If you can take photos and videos of a plane at the airport how can’t we do the same at a bus interchange? So unfair sah!😢

[@tehsiewdai]

thank you so much for this! there have been countless times i've been stopped for the simple act of taking a video in a public place, and this video really explains it all. although it's technically possible to take photos outside of a bus interchange, people should not do so only as a last resort and to avoid being treated like national security threats. i've just checked out your channel and i'm amazed at the amount of footage you have - thank you for preserving such memories for future generations!

Yeah lor. Why ah? The last time I check it's not illegal or an offence to film transports. But why are there people and staff stopping us. Even worse, transcom officers are also involved.

[@MRTinSG]

At MRT Stations,Transcom officers are worse. They are much more fierce. I have seen them patrolling the MRT stations but have yet to be caught.

[@sgrailsproductions]

As mostly for me as I am a train enthusiast only, there are 3 times I was stop at,one at Jurong East 2 years. The other at Yio Chu Kang (With my fellow enthusiast friend) and at Ang Mo Kio. I was mostly stop by Station staff instead of Cisco. They told me they recive complain from filming but I never heard from Passenger who actually "complained". So I was let off in the end. With a warning. So probably the reason maybe for these operators is, they dont seem to recognise our hobby. They think by liking trains means only joining the industry and get a job. But for us is more than just getting a job in a PTO. We just want to have fun and enjoy. So that explains yep. Anyways great video and cover on this! :)

Good luck for not filming or snapping buses in depots/bus parks. But some parts of the bus interchange are illegal.

[@SBS2831GTransportations]

The only parts of Bus Interchange we are NOT allowed to film are the CCTV cameras and the PSO Counter And we are not allowed to cross to the bus park

[@SBSKProductions-ni1nx]

6:20 True i agree. Snapping buses outside the interchange maybe the best as you will not get caught by the security or the transcom.

There are no explicit rules against taking pictures at bus stops in mainland China, depending on the mood of the bus stop staff and line drivers that day. When I once took a picture of a car at a bus stop, a bus driver found out I was taking pictures of his car with a very bad attitude and tried to grab the camera to forcibly delete the picture. He later said if I didn't delete the photo he wouldn't Departure trying to get passengers to put pressure on me. Then the pressure had to be removed. Then I complained to the government department. As a result, the next day the fleet called to apologize, meaning that the driver on duty had been educated. The company does not specify that you can not take pictures

Mainland China is now targeting bus lovers as well. In the case of our city, there is a high probability that taking photos inside bus interchanges will be driven away by security guards or staff, or even asked to delete the photos. The reasons for banning photography are getting more and more nonsensical, such as saying we are spies or coming to step on the spot to steal something，Some people even say these are defense secrets. It is even more difficult to shoot on the bus, I basically had to wait for 2 buses to shoot on the POV recording before, it is not unusual to be rejected by the driver,I have tried to send an email to ask the bus company and the leadership of the Department of Transportation whether there is such a rule, I received a response either kicking the ball or vague,The leaders of the private bus companies are even more uncultivated opening their mouths to curse, and threatening to say that bus enthusiasts are either Autistic or idiots. But to be honest, the situation of Chinese bus enthusiasts now can not be said to be all external factors caused by.I remember last year I also commented under this video, when in fact most of the people involved were still friendly to bus enthusiasts, after all, China's bus culture only gradually developed in 2017-2018, and everyone felt curious about the hobby so they supported it. But in the second half of 2021 as bus enthusiasts are getting more and more, and the group is getting younger and younger. They only began to gradually resent, and later happened some because the bus enthusiasts cause trouble leading to the driver or staff was fired or punished directly inspired the contradictions between the two sides In our country now transit enthusiasts have been a derogatory term, those who mention us will be angry ......

（由於原本留言不見了，故此重新發佈。） 真的不能理解為何巴士轉換站範圍內不准拍攝，裡面沒有不可曝光的事物。 事實上，在Instagram有不少在轉換站拍攝的相片，當中有人、有車、各類公共設施、人山人海現象。在行人路上拍車根本沒問題。 諷刺的是，王乙康部長表示可以。

This reminded of a incident.. 10 or so years ago (2010 ish i think) a train enthusiast got detained by the station master for filming his train ride and got the police and i think the CID as well, involved. This was still the sgforums days. Another incident (a year after the above incident) where another train enthu got stomped for filming his rides. Fortunately, stomper got roasted in the comments. The article got removed.

[@SGDPRODUCTIONS-jf1uq]

My phone got snatched at yishun in March for filming an OC and the Cisco was very rude to me and my friend. We err just snapping a bus and the had to ruin the moment when the bus came in. He cook my phone and deleted the photos and looked at my other photograhs. It was fortunate that i has no personal information in thoese recent pictures and they were got taken at interchange or i would risk.losing a bulk of my footage. Sometimes the Cisco are too much . When i show proof from smrt that filming is allowed but she insisted i go to the office. Instead of apologizing for her mistake she rudely told me not to take photo of CCTV which i understood. There were other people taking photos but she has to choose me . Another incident is last year at st Michael i was snapping 9889U when a security officer came up and scolded me and ask me go hong kong to snap the bus

Well I have this play out in some hotels. Looking at YOU Sheraton Towers! I once filmed an Otis Series 3, modded with STEP Fixtures in a hotel. As I was about to leave, hotel staff: - Stopped me and asked what I am doing - Asked me to delete footage - Took a photo of my IC card They assert that I am causing harm to the security of the building! Really? Just by filming a lift alone means that I am a security risk? They think we are all terrorists and we plot to blow up lifts? Damn you. However most buildings I have come across are nice and do allow me to film and ride lifts.
