Was on board bus 147. Board at the bus stop next to Commonwealth
MRT Station. It was a B9TL - the original one where the front is
black colour one - going towards Jalan Bukit Merah.
When the bus was at around IKEA, the bus was throwing its weight
here and there. For the first time, I experienced "车震" (car shake)
on the upper deck. Quite scary, but at the same time, quite fun
leh. ;)
After the bus called and stopped at bus stop #11019 - OPP OG
FTY, I heard the driver make phone call (I think to the control
station). I heard him say something like "前面那粒球不能够上。" (in front
that ball cannot come up)
Before that, he stopped any people from coming in. Then, he made
the phone call. After that, he asked every one of us to
alight.
He kept saying "sorry", "车坏了" (car spoil already), etcetera. He
issued everyone of us a ticket. Before I collected mine, I tapped
my card on the reader. The reader screen is red, with the words
"Breakdown". When I tapped the card, if I remember correctly, the
reader showed the card value, time, etcetera. Collected the ticket.
It says:
After I alighted, a few minutes later, another bus 147 arrived.
It was a Gemini Wright B9TL double decker bus. I board the bus, and
alighted a few stops later, at Jalan Bukit Merah.
When I board that bus, I gave my " complementary ticket" to that
bus driver. The bus driver gave me another ticket.
That ticket says:
The complementary ticket will always give you the maximum fare
available for any service you choose to use. I previously saved
them up for Premium or NightRider.
