Yesterday
TIB589B on 77 broke down at Jln Jurong Kechil's last bus stop towards Marina Centre at about 2.30pm (spotted time). I had gotten off a sv52 when i saw the bus along with a recovery truck there. the engine was on, the mechanic went on the bus but apparently were not able to fix it and they turned the engine off and got down to sit at the bus stop. The doors appeared to have a problem, both side of the front doors were at 45 degree angles while the rear doors one side was open and the other shut.

actually even if the brakes fail he can just warn the pax and ram the bus into the divider. better than slamming it into such a big vehicle. -
