  Wow. I passed by there at around 7.30 and the bus is still there. Wonder where the tow truck is. Shouldn't they attend to urgent cases like this 1st as the bus is blocking up half the busy road?

  Yesterday, I took TIB1144U of 960. Theres no bumper at the back and no rego. It could mean that the whole bumper dropped off by accident or came loosed. I was shocked to see it without the back bumper when it went to WRI bus park. I think the SL also don't know.

  no. This one broke down as i was watching it. Stopped for a red light & can't move when the light turned green.

  And the time of incident & rego is totally different.

  gearbox problems usually don't lead to door problems. Its probably a faulty sensor or a faulty air reservoir.
