no...I'm just a passerby. A few drivers ignored me & zoomed past me. I was trying hard not to laugh when I saw them made a 3-point turn & came back.

I really have no idea about this, but he was there, and can forget the number? I do presume all us spotters, or at least most, have a book to write down all the regos, no way take pic liao, forget rego, something really wrong here, not anyone's fault though...

Today i was on 24 to work, the bus driver keep revving the engine throughout the trip.. when it reach City Plaza, The bus stop, Engine shut off.. after about a min or so, the BC start the engine again then the bus can move again.. It happen in the middle of the road..

Hmm , this one a bit slightly common , just now i took Sv CT8 (SBS 3862K) the engine also off for abt 3 seconds and start again. Then when i saw the bus at YCK Ter again , the bus went off service. So i think is Engine problem i guess.

the engine rev up not due to drive, but it's cos the gearbox is either stuck at first gear (rare and very loud) or first gear fail to lock-up.

ignition off/on is a remedy for this, to reset the gearbox electronics so that it'll lock properly, though sometimes this is age/mechanical problem, so it'll keep reoccuring and this method becomes no effective remedy, then they have to send back to workshop.

Hmmm... I don't think it's that rare... I've taken at least 3 times that the gerabox was stuck in the 1st gear with the most recent one last week, on 363D (199)... All of them were on O405 so far...

SBS9684T (Service 64) broke down along bendemeer rd on saturday

SBS3625D SG

I had a rare experience of taking an 0405 kena lock gear. The bus 3921Z 088 was probably pushed too hard on TPE and when it downshifted at SKG afetr exitting TPE, there was no sign of anything wrong, but when the bus accelerated again, its stuck in limp mode already. BC din bother.
