TIB715D
(172S108) met with a side swipe accident
outside Boon Lay Int around 7.20pm just now (junction of JW Central
3 and Street 64) towards CCK. Bus was turning left when it side
swiped the car that was on its left. The female car driver went
shouting at the BC saying its his fault. The 172 BC was a new BC
and the mentor went down to negotiate with the car driver. Soon the
BC also went down and both parties started to take photographs and
particulars.
Bus finally resumed its service towards CCK at 7.35pm, but it
has caused a huge jam behind as all buses and vehicles are unable
to turn left. Some buses are SMB56A from 172, TIB809S from 178,
179, 180, 240, 241, 254.
Think BC got demotivated and there were a few instances where he
forgot to stop for ppl to alight when bell was pressed and mentor
had to remind him.
Couldnt see damage of the car as i was on the bus. Wasnt sure
who is the actual one at fault also. Left side of the bus got
scratches and one portion of the panel between the front and rear
down got peeled off slightly, and there was a serious dent there
too.. A pity that this bus just came back from repaint...and also
pity the BC that it is only his first few days being a BC and such
thing happened...
Confirm the lady driver. Woman always nv check their sides one
fucking careless. Just now i was at carpark, the car infront
of me wanted to go out and it almost reverse into me when there is
so much space to turn even though there she is in between 2 cars.
Still fucking reverse so near me i horn and high beam that
bitch.
