Posted on 10 May 2010

STOMPer Rachel saw this accident between two SBS buses, which left the front of one of the buses, a double-decker, totally smashed. Police later confirmed that 14 passengers were sent to the hospital after the accident.

Said the STOMPer:

"An SBS double-decker collided with an SBS single-deck bus in Jurong at about 3.30pm yesterday (May 9).

"The front of double-decker was badly damaged, and the rear of the single-decker too."

STOMP contacted Police and this is its reply:

"Police received a call on 9 May at about 3.20pm informing us of an accident involving two buses in front of Block 425 Jurong West Avenue 1.

"11 people were conveyed to NUH and three others to Alexandra Hospital.

"Police investigations are ongoing."

LTA ( late to act) must make it mandatory for all passengers to wear seat belts...

In the past the bus driver ( now CAPTAIN), will tell you, " tow cheng, bas, bu late, wo air bu lat, buay jiat, bo bian..long lah!"...

Nowadays the Bus Captain, we polite, they see elderly people crossing they step on the brake...very considerate, after all, we have to appreciate old is gold...:p

At least it's an 'internal' accident, so SBS doesn't need to negotiate with 'outsider' driver, easier for SBS to settle. And SBS just has to say "sorry" and pay medical bills, settled.

hahahahaha

Ah Tiong drivers now creating trouble for SBS

 

[cockie]

There have been an increase of road accident involved SBS Buses recently, is this the outcome of having "FT" bus driver?

 

[Brightkid]

Guess the % of FTs/FWs vs sinkies out of the 14 passenger ?

Hmmmm, Jurong, where more FTs/FWs are staying and where no sinkies want to work in......at last 10 FTs/FWs out of the 14 is my guess.

Anyone has other guess ? No need $100 entrance fee to participate.

Soon LTA is going to make all passengers to bring this seat when using Public Transport

Who the driver Local Singaporean/Malaysian/PRC?
Whoever sit in the front row upper deck sure flung out! How can this happen?
This two year too many bus accident must be PRC problem. Last decade there are only local and Malaysian driver such case rarely happen.
Bring in PRC driver to kill all poor peasant.
