The whole cck was in a havoc today during AM peak due to 2
separate road accidents...
1. Around 630am: Accident on KJE towards PIE after
sungei tengah exit...
Jam was very bad, heard goes all the way to BKE entrance, many
vehicles exit at CCK Drive and use the main roads like CCK Drive or
CCK Way to get to their destination, causing jam along parts of CCK
Drive and CCK Way...
Due to this, many bus services met with serious delays. Was
onboard SMB181X (172AM02) and it departed the int 10 mins late at
730am. Queue went beyond the berth and even reach beyond the
queueing area for 983.
Bus kept encountering jam, and as it was packed from int, it
skipped the next 2 stops and only picked up pax from the 2nd stop
of Ave 1. When bus reached Ave 3, there was serious jam again..by
the time it cleared the jam, bus was already 20 mins behind
schedule... (reached HTA bus stop at 755am)
But the 2nd accident caused a more serious effect...
2. Around 755am: Accident on junction of Ave 3 and Ave 5
involving a private bus and a lorry...
Almost the whole junction was blocked and buses like 172 and 975
had to do detour. Buses like TIB1086D (172S104) had to turn into
Ave 5, then Ave 6 before going back onto Brickland Road... Other
services affected were 300, 301 and 983...
I even heard that due to this, as many as SEVEN 975s bunch
together...
(Did not encounter this myself though as my bus was lucky enough
to pass this junction before the 2nd accident)
