  Can buses drive out of bus lane when not turning?

  A STOMPer is puzzled by this question after coming across this bus being driven out of the designated bus lane at Eu Tong Sen Street.

  Hmm.. Cany he/she see clearly that cars are using bus lanes instead. So y bus cant use other lanes? This resolved his/her being puzzled.

  ask sbs9888y whether he know which BC or not.. anyway, this bus stop is at the new bridge centre busstop. This design of this bus stop is not so good. If i remember correctly, there are plants beside the bus stop,making it difficult for passengers to alight, if they are inside the 2nd bus that reach the bus stop.

  The bus stop may not be wheelchair accessible? But no matter what the BC should still explain to the passenger IMO.

  Again all buses in the Suntec/Marina area will need to have CCTV. So Mark IV on 502 again. Again the tempprary crazy deployment for a few days. I read in the hard copy that Marina Centre Terminal will be closed during the few days. Maybe the Marina Centre svcs like 77 will be ammended to loop there or something.

  Two words - National Security.

  Doesn't mean it isn't IMF don't need CCTVs. There are many security measures put into place, such as the MRT police, Security checks at MRT. It's for deterrence and recording of events if it really happens. It also serves as proof for crimes - thinks shops with CCTV.

  Transportation is one way where terrorists can use do something that can hurt Singapore.

  Judging by the newspaper article, what SBS2695H said might be true, that buses plying into the Suntec/Marina will need to have CCTVs. THERE IS NO NEED TO BE SO CONDESCENDING; dun jump to conclusions so quickly. I guess your age is 2008 - 1974 = 34, and so you should know that people do make mistakes (in the event that SBS2695H is wrong).

  17's demand from Pasir Ris Int is even higher during PM Peak. The SDs usually cannot cope and the DDs look very full.
