SINGAPORE: The Deputy Chairman of the Government Parliamentary
Committee for Transport, Seng Han Thong has asked SBS Transit to
explain how one of their bus drivers got lost.
In the incident, which occurred on November 3, service number 52
had strayed from its usual route to avoid a traffic
congestion.
But it got lost and passengers ended up spending two hours on the
bus.
Seng Han Thong, MP for Ang Mo Kio, deputy chairman, GPC for
Transport, said: "What they need to enhance is the emergency
preparedness.
"In turn of any emergency, how do you communicate, who do you
communicate, what language can you communicate. (The) company has
to review all (of) these."
On the recent taxi fare revisions, Mr Seng said the changes could
have been better communicated to the public.
ComfortDelGro announced their fare revisions earlier this
month.
SMRT made their own announcement shortly after.
Mr Seng said these companies should better explain their rationale
for increasing taxi fares.
Mr Seng: "Of course, no one will like the price to be increased.
The important point is, how can you be more transparent to let your
customer know that the adjustment of this fare is to address the
issues. So if a commuter can understand better, I'm sure the
response will be different."

As I answered to your FB post, I find it outrageous our MPs
don't want an explaination for the fatal accident at Bishan
instead. The last thing we want is another double-deck to fly in
our face and kill us on our way to makan.
Besides, its not the first time an SBST got lost to this extent.
Years ago, another SBST bus ended up at Bukit Panjang when it shoud
have been at Woodlands. Nobody asked for an explaination for that
either.
Politicians are cuckoos.
And SMRT really can't get anything right. From the taxi, bus and
train. Its seriously the management. It makes SBST look god-like
when it isn't, though I would give that it has improved.
