Anyone here ever expirence a bus svc or feeder driving the wrong way? Today on the way home I saw SBS726R on 293 along Tampines Ave 9 turning to St 72 . Maybe the driver dunno the way (new driver) or maybe cannot turn to st 71 on time...

my experience is a few years ago but it's in tampines also.

i was on 27 going to school, after the stop at the regional library, it's supposed to be turning right towards MRT station but the driver drive straight past the traffic light and towards Tampines JC direction.

Then he drove into a carpark before U-turning back to the right way >.>

Service 57 first day

SBS 1706 S was on its way back to Bishan from Toa Payoh Lor 6 (Opp Pei Chun). The bus was wanting to turn right at the Lor 6/Access Rd junction when the driver pondered and went straight instead. I had to guide him to use Lor 1, Lor 2, Lor 3, Lor 4, (235's looping area) Lor 1 and back to Toa Payoh Access Rd to Bishan

a few years ago, when i took 858, supposingly the driver should turn into Wdl Ave 4 frm Wdl Ave 9, but instead he turned in a junction earlier, at Wdl Ave 6. everybody on the bus was like, "Har?"

Mine is somewhere last year where I was onboard a Service 700A bus at night, and guess what? It follows Service 960 route after Newton Circus towards Suntec instead of turning to Newton MRT Station bus stop.. In the end SL have to U-turn back at the next avaiable junction..

Servce 52 first day

haha another first day blooper.

SBS 0334 M was coming out from the PIE at Jln Anak Bukit. Instead of turning left into Jln Anak Bukit, it turned right at Jln Anak Bukit and continued onto Upp Bt Timah Rd. I decided to help the driver once again by asking him to u-turn just before the Upp Jurong Rd junction and resume normal route from there. It was a super tight u-turn but the bus managed to go thru :)

SMRT bus drivers are mostly Malaysians and are not familiar with Singapore’s roads…..

I met twice…..

One was on 171 when the female driver missed the Bukit Panjang exit while travelling towards Marina Centre, and she stopped in the middle of the expressway, almost attempting to reverse in the 80km expressway route to go back to the exit….. and den she decided to stop on the expressway, hoping that some angel would come and guide her back to the road.. thankfully got somebody guide her back using Dairy Farm exit, and she ended up skipping two bus stops!

One was on 700A and it was on Christmas Day 2007 when the route was diverted. The uncle did not know how to drive back to Orchard from Havelock Road and drove all the way to Great World City and Tiong Bahru….. when he was approaching Tiong Bahru, he begun to fumble and drove very slowly. And he hit the curb of the road twice and the bus almost turn over…. Den he was waiting at the bus stop where there’s 75 and 970, hoping that his colleague could guide him back. Worst thing was his colleague oso didnt noe and drove off. End up 2 passengers guide the driver back….. to Orchard and we took 20 mins extra to city.

Took SBS 0069D on Service 225W on my way home a few years ago. The BC went straight on Bedok North Street 1 towards Ave 3 instead of turning into Ave 2. People were shouting 'OEI' at BC and he made a U-Turn at the carpark outside Block 216 FC/Market.

And I thought I had taken the wrong bus!

669D on Svc 969

Is this also considered going wrong way?

681S on Svc 172

Is there a rule stipulating 172 must come in from the other entrance?

Mine is 922. Because the BC switches between 920 and 922 , they sometimes forget that they are driving 922 . Once i encountered was the BC turns left into Senja road. Then he mumbled loudly, "EH??! Aiya Zhou cuo lu (turn wrongly)" He then bo bian have to u turn at Senja Grand there. EZ-link reader also gone haywire later.

No, many BC uses the entrance especially Wkends & PHs

187 : BC overshot JW St 51 while returning to Boon Lay Int so he had to do a tight 3-pt turn at Blk 502 Car Pk entrance & turn right to JW St 51 from JW Ave 1.

187 : BC almost turn right into BB West Ave 3(941 route) along BB Ave 1 bef pax shouted at BC to turm at JE Ave 1, BC then change lane from turning bracket. BC said it was his first trip on 187.

189 : BC missed BB East Ave 3 exit while returning to BB Int, so he used the Toh Guan Rd Exit to make a U-turn at Toh Guan Rd & return to PIE to use the BB East Ave 3 exit.

254 : BC turn right into St 63 from St 64 instead of going straight to turn to BNL Way & he tried to exit through St 65(towards JWSS) but he didn't know about the roundabt there instead. Then he turn right to St 63 to St 64(the normal route).

BC driving 243G with correct 243G destos arrives at 243W boarding point. The passengers board without knowing. BC himself also dunno he arrive at wrong berth. After all the passengers boarded, then another BC pointed out to him he in the wrong berth!

So he no choice but to drive 243W route instead. Then immediately, another 243W bus came, while 243G route long queue because no bus!

If the other BC hadn't pointed out to him, he would have taken the 243G route instead with 243W passengers!

ROFLMAO~

Have anyone experinced Night riders driving the wrong way instead?

I once took NR1 back home from town.
(The driver was an indian and he really looked like those construction worker instead of a bus driver) Instead of turning left to Yishun Ave 2, the bus-stop infront of block 220, it travelled straight to Yishun Ring Road and dropped me opposite the columbarium and along the then renovating Peixin Primary School at 5 am.

-______________________________________=.

It was not an accidental incident to me because when he was suppose to change lane from the middle to the left, he done it slowly thus causing the taxi speeding towards that supposingly empty space that the NR1 was supposed to be at. Therefore, the driver had to drop me at that stop leaving me blurred as I alighted from the bus thinking that I saw the stops wrongly.
