I BOARDED a Service 851 bus in
Henderson Road last Saturday at 6pm with the intention of alighting
at the Clarke Quay bus stop.
A short distance into the trip,
as the bus was in Outram Road, the driver turned left onto the
Central Expressway. The passengers remained calm as they thought
that there was a traffic diversion due to the Mooncake Festival in
Chinatown.
A passenger then approached the
driver for an explanation and it became apparent that the driver
was not familiar with Singapore roads. The passengers became
agitated when the bus reached the end of the tunnel and continued
north.
I got off at the first
opportunity and do not know what happened next.
I can only hope that the
authorities do more to stop to such things from happening
again.

After the Chin Swee tunnel, the first exit is at Moulmein Rd, I
guess the bus exited here, proceed to Thomson Rd and
continues the route.
If nobody went to stop the driver, he may had exited the
expressway at Lentor Ave. Then this will be truely express service
851.
