Before the days of EZ-Link cards and electronic ticket machines, every ride on a Singapore bus gave you a little ticket as proof that you’ve paid. If you’re old enough to have experienced this before, let’s relive the memories of what we did with the tickets in the past.
Fold into a heart
This is the most common past time for students to do on the buse–fold their tickets into origami hearts.
Fold into a double heart
This is the advanced level of heart folding. For those who were bored with a single heart, they went on to master the art of folding double hearts.
Give bus ticket hearts to your stead
What do people do after folding so many hearts? Give them to the person they like of course! Usually given to girls by guys. The more romantic ones would write a message or poem in the heart. Aww…
Roll up and pretend it’s a cigarette
Especially popular among the ah bengs. Because they were underage to buy the real thing, they practised the pose first so that they’ll be ready when the time comes.
Make sounds by blowing on the bus ticket
By putting the long side of the tickets between your lips and blowing, you could create a sound. If you imagine the sound of a fart and a horn combined, it was something like that. We kid you not.
Roll and throw them at your classmates
When we want to irritate our classmates in a subtle way. A popular move was to flick the rolled up tickets at your classmate’s head and then look busy with something else so that he/she wouldn’t know it was you.
Collect them
Some of us just like to collect them for no apparent reasons.
Store them in your wallet
You’ll notice that your wallet will keep growing fatter but not because of money. At the end of a few months, you’ll have no choice but to spring clean your wallet and the cycle will start all over again.
Pull out wrong ticket during ticket checks
It’s hard to find under stress when the ticket checking person is glaring down at you. It also didn’t help that the tickets were so small and all looked the same.
Stuff them into gaps on the bus
Sorry cleaning auntie.
