Bus conductors collected money but did not issue tickets, on the old Singapore Traction Company buses and trams. When "Inspectors" jumped on board, the drivers shout a warning and the bus conductor then pass some (usually used ones too) tickets down to us to hold and show to the inspector. School boys like us usually participate happily - because sometimes, we get free rides when we tell them that we had no bus fares, and happily spend the money on cigarettes instead. One ciggie (555) cost 10cents; two, 15 cents.
