If want to catch, should catch those vehicles who stop in the yellow boxes, preventing the buses from turning out/turning left.One fine example, is at the bus stop opposite AMK Mrt, during peak hours. Vehicles just stop in the yellow boxes and those Sv 73/25/261 buses all having difficulties to filter right in order to turn right into Ave 8, thus causing delay to other buses behind to get out of the bus stop, then other buses such as 74/88/132/76/165 get delay and then got complains again. One problem lead to another. LTA should station someone on the overhead bridge there and take photos of those violating vehicles and summon them. think can easily catch a lot everyday.
tis one is junction from side road and not e typical bus stops one... for tis case, the bus is totally wrong but I cannot blame on ugly drivers who only knows how to do hard braking (reminds me, kpkb fuel prices expensive yet drive in fuel consuming technique
)anyway some of e yellow boxes are causing more accidents than letting buses to move out to main road easier...

Wa lau, stomper say the route just changed recently? pls la, more than 1 year lor. I admit the BC is rude, need some counseling. Btw, until now some BC still stop and let them down at Clementi Ave 6 if there are customer took the bus wrongly.Even 502A also got this incident, there is one Auntie just finish her market trip and thought that this svc would reach her house but actually reached Orchard with all her bags of fish & vegetables. BC cannot stop at PIE.

No Choice but to take train
"Almost two decades and still no direct bus service to Orchard Road"
Mr. Hoe Zong Huan: "I have lived in Woodland for almost two decades, and we still have no direct bus service at Woodlands Regional bus interchange to Orchard Road. We have no choice but to take a train. Can SMRT do something for commuters who prefer buses." -

Habit would be TIB 1138M (judging by the Hagen advert) and since it's at YCK Road, I presume it's doing 854 (Perm service 851). For the Scania K230, there are many HGDEP K230 with this Singapore First Euro IV advert. Service of course would be 163 since it's the only service to have K230 passing by YCK Road near ST Engineering.Possibilities for the K230:
SBS 8036X (HGDEP SP)
SBS 8045U (HGDEP 100)
SBS 8072R (HGDEP 64)I would say the first one is the most likely since it's a SP.
The bendy doesn't look very damaged, only engine cover came off, rear windscreen shattered and rear EDS broken. Hopefully the engine was left untouched (It looks as if the front of the Scania sliced into the rear of the bendy). As for the K230... wah pain. Doors gone, front gone, Dashboard gone, bumper gone, EDS gone...
Don't know what will happen to the SBST driver.
And yes, people still cannot differentiate between SBST and SMRT. Maybe cannot blame them because TIB 1138M fully covered with advert. Lols.

If accident will cause withdrawal of particular type of model on the service, why i still see SBS 997 A on Service 62 now? -
