SBS9064H broke down at 179 berth at it's 17.09 departure.
Was onboard the bus. BC kept revving and restarting the engine. In the end, he gave up and called the mechanic to come. Mechanic managed to get the bus to move a few metres, until it blocked the 199/252 berth, then couldn't move again. In the end, got issue breakdown tickets.
Meanwhile, 3 other 179 buses by-passed the berth and left empty...
Not sure what's wrong, but seems like gear problem. When the mechanic got the bus moving, the bus moved normally then suddenly the engine like automatically jump to neutral and can hear it rev again. -

SBS bus driver arrested for drink-driving
Leong Wee Keat
[email protected]
An SBS Transit bus captain was arrested - and subsequently sacked - for drink driving, after the bus he was driving crashed into a lamp-post yesterday morning.
This is the first drink-driving incident involving one of its bus captains, said SBS Transit, which has since terminated the services of the driver.
The Service 145 bus was travelling along Victoria Street, towards Kallang, when the accident happened at 9.30am.
Witnesses told Today that the bus was travelling in the bus lane opposite Raffles Hospital when it mounted a kerb and crashed into the lamp-post.
Four passengers were believed to be onboard, but no one was injured.
The driver, a man in his mid-30s, is out on bail. If charged and convicted of drink driving, he could be fined between $1,000 and $5,000, or jailed six months and banned from driving for at least a year.
SBS Transit spokesperson Tammy Tan said the company is "appalled" by the incident and added: "We take a very serious view of this and have decided to sack the bus captain as a warning to other bus captains."
SBS Transit currently operates 2,800 of the 3,500 public buses here.
The damaged lamp-post was later replaced.
In the first quarter of this year, 920 people were arrested for drink-driving, 22 per cent more than the same period last year.
In the high profile drink-driving case involving actor Christopher Lee, who was released from jail recently, High Court Judge Lee Seiu Kin called drink driving a "social menace".
Justice Lee said he wanted to send a "sobering chill down the spines" of potential drink drivers last month when he extended Lee's original jail term of a month by another two weeks. He also said the tendency of the courts to merely impose fines for first-time offenders ought to stop. - TODAY -

Bus: SBS 3619Y (No aircon on this bus)
Service: 292 (Cameo)
Date: 13 July 2007
Time: 1350hrs at time of witness
Location: Tampines Avenue 5
Summary of accident/breakdown: Engine overheat
Details:
1. SBS 3619Y was cameoing on feeder service 292. Before the bus could move off after the traffic light at the cross junction (Tampines Avenue 4 and 5), the engine died. All passengers, including the BC, alighted from the bus.
2. The back engine cover was open. While I was on another bus at 1400hrs, the BC was seen wrestling over the engine, possibly trying to ward off the heat and smoke from the engine.
3. As the bus stopped right at the left side of the road, drivers driving on the left side of the road had to divert to another lane. Traffic came to a crawl, but not very serious.
4. SBS 3618A was suspected to have replaced SBS 3619Y. -
