lemon1974 SG a lot of buses were stuck in the heavy rain esp SV93/157/165... one strider on SV 165 even have to be pushed manually through the flood... refer to the following. http://multimedia.asia1.com.sg/gallery/20061219_flood_gallery/index.html (picture copyright of asiaone website - www.asiaone.com).
Y_Shun SG POWER!! First time see people push buses, somemore in Singapore! Wah, there sure to be alot of complains to SBST because of late buses, etc.
sinicker SG yes. firstly, there was the wind that shook the leaves off the tree.. den the rain den provided a channel for the leaves to float on and got stuck at the gutters of the drainage system. Parka draw cartoon on flood lah!
Y_Shun SG Saw so many buses stucked, especially at the 1st pic, how are they going to cross the 'pond'? if stuck then how? manually push?!?!?!
SBS1985C SG Yesterday I wait for service 10 B9. Scheduled at 7.30 pm arrive. I saw the bus before the B9 ( SBS9149Y ) arrive at 7.15 - 7.25 pm. I was so happy that the B9 on 10 was coming... But guess what... The B9 arrived at 7.45 pm. Around 1 h 20 Min between these two buses. But you cannot blame SBS Transit. They did not expect the rains to clog up the road and mess up the bus frequency.
lemon1974 SG this happen outside macritchie reservior. there are road works and water were overflowing from the reservior as well. thus causing this flood..
ditzy SG Believe me, when you're in armour, you'll see people push tanks also. There was once, 2 sections had to be called in to push the bionix door shut.
[email protected] SG Reservoir can become full Maybe during rainy season the water bill can get discount, encourage ppl to use more so won't overflow
off_service SG Years ago, pax and the driver of one servie 61 bendy pushed the bus through a flood. The picture was captured and featured on newsapaper.
lemon1974 SG Then during dry seasons, they can increase the water price, so that we use less water? copy right of asiaone website..
[email protected] SG Dry whether must also reduce water price, should ask ppl drink more water else ppl dehydrated
