Bus driver drives wrong way (Part 5)

Junyang700 SG

The last thread has expired. So i create a new one.

TIB711P on 970 (KJDEP 970) went the wrong way today at 410pm.

Instead of turning into Gangsa Road, the bus driver turned left too fast today and turned into Jelebu Road upon exiting Bukit Panjang Int (Route 975 instead of Route 970).

The bus driver then realises it and turns left back to Bukit Panjang Int and then exits the interchange again and heads straights and gets back to 970's route, thereby continuing its journey to Shenton Way.

A few weeks back, TIB805C was cameo-ing 922 for dinner break. Or so I thought. Then when the bus reached the Jelapang Road - Senja Link - Ring Road junction, the BC (almost) drove straight for Senja Link until I told him to turn left. Lucky it was a red light, if not it has to turn round Senja Road till Zhenghua Sec then turn back into Ring Road.

TWE SG

Comeon guys , everyone makes mistake and me too ever made big mistakes . You don't publicise pple mistake ok . What if one day you make a mistake while at work and it came out in newspapers and forums ? Sometimes a mistake can affect a persons career ok , not to mention stating the bus number plate and time . The control station can trace it back to the driver and affect his career if the superior are bastard . Live and let live . Nobodys perfect .

Yes we all know that, but we are just writing down here just to share the experience, not to mock the bus driver.

i agree with TWE.

i suggest those who want to list down the event not to include the bus registration number.

service, venue & time range of incident is enough.
