Our buses nonetheless still more reliable.
Despite me taking bus everyday for so long, the only breakdown I
suffered was in 2000.
I think its also because I live in SBST dominated area.
The bus going holland occurs from time to time, and is no recent
phenomena. Besides, the case of bus holland was because of a jam on
PIE forcing the driver to look for alternative route under the
orders of his superiors and consequently getting lost.
Bus going hor lan is something I've had before.... for instance,
I once took a no.31 from Bedok to Marine Parade. Instead of turning
into Marine Parade Road, it went straight into the ECP *slaps
forehead*.
The passengers had to guide the bus driver to exit at Still Road
South. The bus bypassed my stop by about two or three clicks as a
result. Basket.
I've had breakdowns too.... the most memorable one for me was
when a no.30 I was on broke down.... on the ECP near Benjamin
Sheares. And the driver ordered everyone off the bus and to stand
on the road shoulder until the next bus came to rescue us.
I tried to tell the bus driver that it was safer to just make
everyone wait on the bus, but no, I suppose my Engrish was too
powderful for his brain to understand....
