Tree falls along Stevens Rd towards PIE, buses diverted
-
a big tree fell. passed the area. fire truck, policemen and trucks loading debris seen along one side of the road between Draycott Park and Goodwood Park.
Service 105, 132, 190 and 502 affected. only 1 direction diverted. for the other direction only 1 lane affected. the bus services from Orchard diverted to Scotts Rd then Bukit Timah Rd and then to Whitley Rd. jam along Scotts Rd from Paterson Rd to Newton Circus.
took a picture of 2 190s along newton. saw 9359 on 132 and 349 on 105 using that stretch.

So for the ppl who want to board at Stevens Rd and cant, they have to walk out a long long long long distance in order to get the buses right?

no they wait patiently for the tree to be cleared so that the bus can pick them up -

Was that seriously what they did? I mean like you wont know how long the people will take to clear up the remains of the tree. What about those alighting along the affected stretch? After the diversion what will happen? -
holy. I almost wanted to drive to orchard today...

eh, dun like dat, i was one of the passenger stucked in 190 when the bus couldnt even move because of the falling tree, at goodwood park there. The falling tree was near 190, so therefore it couldnt move anywhere as it was stucked in the jam.blooody hell i got to walk from goodwood park dere to raffles town club to catch 700 or 960. !!!!!!!!!!!
