Be Gracious

Be Gracious, the Happy Journey Starts like that. I am sure you will see this in Singapore Public Transport like Buses and MRT.

Everyday, you can see people are rushing to board the bus or train without letting other passengers to alight first.

Sometime, you might see people rushing for seat or never offer their seat to someone who need it more than they do.

Or you can see someone pretend to sleep, noodling and drooling on the reserved seat when they are not pregnant, old or really in need.

Right now, the Public Transport Council, in partnership with the Land Transport Authority, the two public transport operators, SMRT and SBS Transit and the Singapore Kindness Movement, has embarked on a drive to spread the courtesy message to commuters.

A special rap featuring the loud but lovable Phua Chua Kang was also developed to drive home the graciousness message.

You can view the PCK Be Gracious rap from the youtube below.

Remember, Be Gracious, the happy journey starts like that.

HEY YOU, over there
Don't cut queue, don't you dare
Wait your turn to board the train
What's the rush? There's no rain!

HEY YOU, pretending to sleep
Nodding and drooling on the reserved seat
Not Pregnant, old or really in need
Excuse me, while I give you a kick!

HEY YOU, standing there
Next to the door without a care
There's space behind, can't you see
Please move inside, don't block me!

Chorus:
Before you go in, let them out
Before you sit, look around
Just got on? Move to the back
A happy Journey starts like that, Thank you!
