I was like WHAT THE OMG sia...... The bus that went off(first one) is a bus which look like trolley bus, speedometer dunno how, stuck not moving one. 

  1: They are in hurry as they have schedules to meet. Causeway can be quite jam at times.

   

  2: That is NOT their responsibility. Because you need to REBOARD the bus, that means a transfer of bus instead. Maybe the only thing the bus company (Whether SMRT 950 or SBST 160 / 170) can improve on is to remind the passengers on the last bus departure time and probably, the last 3 bus service should say this is the last X bus or sort of. Futhermore, what happens if a person could not board the bus because he has illegal items, kena for chewing gum or even fake / no / forgot passport issue leh, the delay how?

   

  3: Regarding the speedometer stuck -- I am not sure.

  Here a question;

  Where is it that some of the buses exhibits CVVT-like behaviours when changing gears. Example would be the TIB 725A. Thanks in advance.

  You mean the one with the purple light - They ran out of spare parts? Buses with these features are on their way out anyway...
