wat are you trying to drive at?
ask yourself do you see a car braking down to 40kph from 70 - 80kph when approaching a traffic light junction along a semi highway eps on e right lane? even do you see SBS buses purposely go brake when approaching traffic light?e most is let go of 'oil' and slow down and prepare to halt as approaching e junction.

Not bus accident, not bus breakdown, but a traffic incident caused at least 17 SBST buses to be delayed and other buses diverted.
In summary:
At around 6.55 pm, a truck pulling a trailer with container stalled at the junction of West Coast Rd, Clementi Ave 2 and Clementi West St 2. The truck (XB 9378 G) was turning right from Clementi Ave 2 middle lane to West Coast Rd, the truck stalled and together with the trailer, blocked the entire 2 lanes of West Coast Rd towards Jln Buroh, vehicles coming from West Coast Plaza area cannot passed thru, but vehicles from Clementi Ave 2 can still managed to turn right to West Coast Rd or travel straight to Clementi West St 2. At least 17 SBST buses cannot passed thru the junction and were delayed as a result. 2 police cars and 1 TP bike were at the scene. The trailer was later connected to another truck which came to the rescue. Traffic started to clear an hour later.
Affected bus services were 30, 51 and 143 in the direction of Jurong East / Boon Lay. Services 78, 175, 189, 282 and 285 were not affected as they still can managed to pass thru.
The 17 buses delayed in order (from front to back) during the one hour were:
143: SBS 7460 K (SL 143)
143: SBS 2996 P (SL 143 / 93) Un-confirmed, it was on the middle lane next to SBS 7460 K. Figured out the rego based on the advert.
51: SBS 2598 E (SL SP)
143: SBS 7480 C (SL 143)
30: SBS 9312 S (BN 30)
51: SBS 7377 T (SL 51)
143: SBS 9083 C (BR 8)
30: SBS 9023 B (SL 30)
51: SBS 9165 A (SL 51)
143: SBS 2997 L (SL 143 / 93)
30: SBS 9048 E (SL 30)
51: SBS 7396 M (SL 51)
143: SBS 198 P (BR SP)
30: SBS 9285 L (SL SP)
143: SBS 7456 Z (SL 143)
143: SBS 9000 S (SL 143)
51: SBS 7394 T (SL 51)
Just after traffic started to clear, saw a un-identified strider with passengers on service 30 along Clementi Ave 2, suspected it was diverted via Clementi Rd, AYE, Clementi Ave 2. -
SBS9159T hit something when reversing at Toa Payoh Int

A MK4 DM brokedown at Kent Ridge terminal this morning at 7 plus, the recovery truck towed it away later.
The rego is too far to be seen (it was not parked in the lot but nearer to Clementi Rd). It has the light yellow Magnum White Magic advert. Either SBS 896 H (BB 33) on its perm service or SBS 936 B (HG 105) cameoing on service 151 or 151e. -

Not really a real breakdown but... this is how the story goes:
Bus Service: 975
Rego: TIB 693 H
Date: 4th February 2009 (yesterday)
Time: 1:15pm - 1:30pm
Venue: Bt Panjang Rd (Blk 184 bus stop)
Direction: Towards Lim Chu Kang Rd End
Cause of "breakdown": Front EDS problem. Despite the China SL tried to press a few times, it still didn't work (EDS remained as the photo below), and the SL use the palm of his hand and bang/hit the screen for the EDS controller for a few times. (Just because of a pax who told him about the EDS problem, it caused this thing to happen) After which, he contacted the "OCC" using the communication device beside the SL's seat, and after explanation from him, the "OCC" guy called him to continue that full trip first, and upon reaching back Bt Panjang Int, then report this EDS problem again. In the end, he still insisted to heed the "OCC" guy's advice and keep pressing the EDS controller + walk out of the bus to check the front EDS (side EDS not a problem as it displayed "975" as usual). This made a few passengers who can't tolerate it to walk out of the bus and take the Service 190 bus behind. In the end, he declared breakdown and cancel the trip for the remaining of us (A lady, my mum and myself) who were still inside the bus.

Another China Drivers problem,He should not have bang the EDS controller too.Another unprofessional attitude of our "dearest" foreign talent.Accident,Fighting with passengers,Language barrier etc,Wonder why Govt love so much bringing in China worker who totally can't commited 95% for the job?Bringing in Filipinos or Burmese drivers who is as cheap as them are more wiser choice.Tarnish the image of Singapore Transport sector.Even SIA crew cabin are full of China and Malaysian staffs nowadays.Pay peanut not only you get monkey,But chimpanzees too...
