Yap you are correct.

Bus drivers to undergo random checks
The Transport Department says it has asked bus companies to review their rostering systems to make sure drivers have enough time to rest. This comes after it was found that the driver involved in Tuesday's fatal accident in Tseung Kwan O was substituting a shift for a route that he didn't normally drive. Assistant commissioner for transport, Albert Yuen said bus companies can apply to extend the average travelling time for specific routes when necessary, so that drivers don't have to rush for each trip. He said the department would also check on drivers' physical conditions, but he conceded the scope would be limited.

TIB838H (KJDEP 172) brokedown @ CCK Ave 1 bus-stop at around 6pm++. Rear engine cover was opened at no one was at sight. Even the BC was gone, and the EDS displayed 'Off Service'.
OT: Yesterday, SMB135E exprienced a technical fault whereby the bus stopping chime was kept on playing as if someone had pressed it, but no one actually did. The speaker kept announcing the door closing chime when actually the doors are already closed and was not idling.

OMG she wears a tudong? If yes, I think she's a standby BC / Ex- SBST bendy driver.
uh huh. Yup. OMG. Good luck to her man! If she's driving a bendy I cannot imagine what will happen. She is behind schedule. After the accident happen, 5 minutes later, SBS 752P bunched up. Normally from Pasir Ris will take 35 minutes to reach Yishun but she took 45-50 minutes.
This malay female BC has been perm on 39 for quite a while... took her driving 886L and 8541D before.
