The front middle portion above the rego was taken off and the long connector(i dont know what they call it) from the tow truck was connected at that middle portion above the rego.the mechanic wearing orange uniform was standing beside the driver cabin and talking to the driver.the front door was left opened while SBS3918J was being towed.BTW,SBS3918J is back in svc 194 today.i was very releived when i saw it.haha.
I guess it just some minor prob. SLBP repair their buses very fast. Guess had been trained as in the past they had shortage of SP buses. -
414R was on tow on Tues 18th after breaking down on 143.

This is sort of expected.as my father told me,older buses bodies are stronger.and he also told me that they are more solid also.this strider accident is a classic example of how older buses bodies are always strong and it also shows that older buses bodies dont give way that easily no matter how much force or impact is put against them.thumbs up to SBS2597H.i salute it.Survivablilty of vehicles and its occupants in accidents often calculates in the impact forces, angles and so on, but on more layman terms, older bodywork contain more or often full steel platings. This applies to trains as well, that is why the case than new vehicles often have lighter weights than their older counterparts.
Many old buses and trains have steel platings. Often these are on the sides of the vehicle, used to protect occupants in the event of a crash. Roof can be of aluminium platings. Of an entire vehicle, the strongest part would have to be its chassis. It is one part of the vehicle that cannot break first. That is why when welding a chassis back together, extreme care has to be taken and often the case of a vehicle breaking its chassis would mean scrapping, due to the cost and danger involved in modifying/repairing the chassis.
Now, bodyworks of buses and trains tend to go towards the lightweight side, as had been for the past ten years in fact. Weights dropped, crash protection fluctuates around the safety levels, but would not be able to attain those of the pre-90s level, where a bus/train is built like a tank. Taking a modern bodywork, many of the parts are of easily replaceable and machined, like plastic, aluminium and composite material. Steel still exists, in vital areas like the driver's cabin (leg area) and often the frame of the bodywork.
Old cars with dents, all you need is a mallet and knock the dent out! Now, the whole piece of cover, bumper or door needs to be replaced in a similar accident. One knock of the mallet can make the material go broken easily.

Thanks for the clear explanation.

SBS161U was seen at a Clemenceau ave bus stop towards Jurong East direction with its engine cover opened yesterday afternoon.no breakdown triangle was placed behind the bus.that bus stop only has 64,123,143.so SBS161U must have been cameoing on 143 while it brokedown.the driver wasnt seen in the bus stop as well as inside the bus.i and scania NN13CRB lov3r saw this breakdown from SBS9122Z on 143.

No wonder the mechanic was sitting at the driver seat at around 3:50pm and testing something.then he told the BC something and the BC went back and changed all the EDS to off svc and drove the bus back to SLBP.when i and scania lov3r saw that,we were like WTF.we felt like 2 stupid dogs who wasted our time waiting there only to see SBS8030L go back off svc.but where was the problem?the bus was able to move well and the driver drove it back normally. -
SBS343L(SLBP 30) on S30 broke down at bus stop along mountbatten road opposite kg arang estate in direction towards boon lay int.
rear engine cover open. passengers boarded SBS9022D behind. -
Today
SBS603L (BNDEP 38) on svc 38 broke down along Simei St 1 at about 1730hrs. Commuters boarded the next bus SBS3679Z.
However at 1740hrs, SBS603L was seen travelling very very slowly (suspected engine failure) & BC had to wave his hand out of the window to signal other motorists to overtake. All destos were intact, hazard lights switched on.
