TIB 874 C (KJ SP) on service 188 was involved in an accident this evening.
The accident happened at around 6.30pm. TIB 874 C on service 188, heading towards Choa Chu Kang interchange, was turning right at the T-junction of Pasir Panjang Rd and West Coast Highway, when a truck with trailer, on West Coast Highway heading straight towards Telok Blangah Rd, collided into the front section left side of the bendy bus.
Windows on the front section left side of the bendy bus was scattered, the exit doors were badly damaged. For the truck, the cabin was tilted towards the left and facing the ground. Oil was spilling out from one or both vehicles.
The accident caused a huge traffic congestion in the vicinity. Buses of services 10, 30, 51, 143 and 188, heading towards Haw Par Villa, were caught in the congestion. Buses of service 188 were later diverted to use West Coast Highway, turned right into Clementi Rd and continued with normal route.
I was onboard SBS 9061 R (SL 51) and spoke to the BC who told me that in the case of an accident when buses were unable to continue to ply the normal routes, BCs are not allowed to make their own decision to ply any other routes, they have to call the bus company for permission to do so. -
Really, I think all buses should be fitted with RF devices to allow drivers to communicate with the ops room at the interchange during emergencies such as this.Originally posted by tranquilice:I was onboard SBS 9061 R (SL 51) and spoke to the BC who told me that in the case of an accident when buses were unable to continue to ply the normal routes, BCs are not allowed to make their own decision to ply any other routes, they have to call the bus company for permission to do so. -

Accident between SBS 372C (sv30) & SBS 9116S (sv30) in Boon Lay Int at around 1845hrs. The LO3x was letting passengers alight behind another LO3x at the last berth. After the BC closed the doors & was about to reverse away, the O405 with a full load of passengers reversed out of the 3rd berth & hit the LO3x right in the middle. The O405 had all its left taillights shattered. The LO3x had a broken window & a big dent on the right side. Luckily there were no injuries & both buses were driven back to SLBP after the routemaster took down some details. -
