No wonder the 2nd right tire looks a bit slanted/out of shape when i spotted it on Sv9 that afternoon.

Oceane SG

But I believe the extent of the damage is not as bad as the Trident shown in the picture lei...

The closest I've heard of was a VO3x crashing into a tree years back in Bedok. 1 boy sitting in front almost got flung out of the bus (he was sitting on the upper deck, front row) but in the end he sustained injuries and needed to go hospital for stitches.

Memory is vague but I think the rego for that accident was 9333G. Not sure though...

AntiDennisLance SG

One other spectacular one i can remember was the DD that got its top totally shaved off after going under a 4.0m clearance section of an overhead bridge/flyover in construction at adam/farrer stretch......

SBS1985C SG

9378C accident happened at the Int. Speed most probably <40Km/h. And the bus that rammed into it was a MK II not a Double deck. If not, more than the AC would be gone case.

TIB1224Y SG

Ah apologize, I must have mixed up the accident of 9378C and the two DDs that had a rear-end crash on PIE...
But that, for the PIE Accident case, is front to rear, this is side plus front, so frontal damage was severe plus horizontal forces sheared the front portion away...

Oceane SG

PIE accident is 9424C and 9308E. 9308 has been back on service but 9424 still on Lay-Up.

SBS1985C SG

That bus that tio read ended was SBS9424C (BR 8 Cool . It was in my sig for a while. (With 9378C) Laughing

I remembered sv 196 Leyland Atlantean near Stadium (BC went wrong routing).

sbst275 SG

Apparently someone fell off in the bus

I suspect the steps aft the exit door being the culprit

201911 SG

he tot he doing svc 16. then go drive the svc 16 route at the stadium area then hit the low bridge, top of the bus got smashed quite bad...

Scania N113CRB luver SG

Fell off FROM the bus , fell DOWN in the bus or fell off in the bus SEATs ? Confused

Oceane SG

Judging by the fact that sbst275 mentioned exit doors being the "culprit" most likely it's falling off from the bus.

sbst275 SG

I suspect this could have been wat happened

one boarded the bus, bus alrdy moved off

wanting to climb the steps aft the exit door, lose balance and fell

lemon1974 SG

remember this also. during that time, Sv 157/74/165 need to make a big detour along dunearn rd and bukit timah rd..

not accident nor breakdown

Passengers wait for 20 minutes as SBS driver stops bus to confront teen about fare

Oceane SG

Even though a passenger's trip may be disrupted, I think what the BC did was right. If he does not set the boundary, more cheating cases would appear. Would we want to live in a society whereby everyone cheats?

I'm actually quite shocked at the man in the white shirt's scolding the bus driver for not moving. He has the guts to say so much but no guts to help the teenager pay the bus fare. What a typical moron. Rolling Eyes

And I do agree with a lot of comments posted at the STOMP discussion area.

User happy5263 said: some stupid teenager who has money to colour hair, buy mp3 and blast loud music, play psp but no money for fare....of course he deserves to be scolded and no one should pay for his ride. let him walk home...

User spicefrog said: the bus is crowded and NO ONE...i said NO ONE offers to pay the pathetic few cents on behalf of the teen to make the driver drive the bus instead of wasting the time???

and why the teen is still so thick skinned to stay in the bus? i would have exit the bus since i did not buy in full instead of making a scene.

Agree 100% to this comments. Very Happy

OT: The video was taken on a B9TL.

Remind me of a time my card got confiscated by a f***ed up BC Ex perm on 28. Before that incident my card confiscated for the whole month (which I bought BCP and wasted $27 as I did not use. Thanks man! /scarasm). This time I did something different. In the end, I got the BC to apologise to me at Tampines Interchange and since then, I never see him drive 28. Good riddance. Mr. Green

Oh about the card? They returned to me on the spot and advised me go replace it myself. Laughing (Although I have not replaced it. Because it was THEIR FRONT EZ-Link Readers that malfunctioned)

Edit: now is Ex perm not perm

straits times feature this on the last page's column for stomp 3 top most interesting stories. then more people will login to stomp to kp the BC. Evil or Very Mad

BusSpeeder SG

what the bus driver did was right, since the teenager's card has expired and should pay adult fare. instead of helping the bus driver, the passengers don't cooperate. doesn't honesty matter?
