Jailed for hitting bus driver
ANGRY that the bus was travelling too slowly for his liking, Lam Wee Yang, 59, scolded the driver before taking matters into his own hands.
He hit the driver's head with the bag he was carrying and then sent the bus swerving dangerously by grabbing the steering wheel.
For hurting driver Wei Jin Guang and endangering the safety of 13 passengers on the bus, the coffee-shop assistant was jailed two months and three weeks on Thursday by a district court.
Lam drank several bottles of beer after finishing his shift at a Geylang coffee shop at 8pm. At 11.45pm, he boarded SBS Transit's number 63 near Lorong 11 Geylang and took the seat behind the driver.
The Singaporean grew impatient when the bus pulled out slowly from the bus stop so as not to hit cars that were parked illegally along the road. Lam started scolding the driver but Mr Wei, a Chinese national, probably tried to diffuse the situation by remaining silent.
Along North Bridge Road, Lam suddenly swung his plastic bag, which contained his purchases of a packet of food and an alarm clock, at Mr Wei. The driver activated the emergency button to alert the SBS operations room that he was being attacked. Minutes later, Lam grabbed the steering wheel, forcing the bus to halt.
According to SBS Transit, 11 of its workers were assaulted last year down from 18 the previous year. Bus operator SMRT had six cases in each of those years.
Lam could have jailed up to six months and/or fined up to $2,500 for endangering the safety of the other passengers. For hurting the driver, he could be jailed up to two years and/or fined up to $5,000.

His pair of eyes pa jiao already, never saw 'don't punch the drivers' notice inside the bus. Never think of consequences, so ^&%*(#
One day, he should work at SBST or SMRT, then know about time schedule liao.

TNP reported today that a female SMRT bus driver was given a bendy bus to drive when she was actually not qualified to drive bendy buses. The incident happened on July 10 at CCK Int. The bus driver had difficulty reversing a service 302 bendy bus out of its parking lot. After several failed attempts to reverse the bus out, she decided to seek help from the interchange staff. When the staff asked her why, she revealed that she is not qualifed to drive bendy buses.
SMRT is now investigating the incident. The female BC is now driving a normal 12m bus

YOG bus accident on PIE (20/08/2010)
A Youth Olympic Games bus and seven other cars were involved in an accident on Friday at about 8.40am.
The mishap took place along the Pan Island Expressway toward Tuas, just before the Clementi Avenue 6 exit.
However the collisions were so minor that no one was injured, while the vehicles only suffered minor damage.
Some of them had also driven off before authorities arrived.
The bus, which had also left the scene, was originally travelling from Bishan Stadium to the bus holding area in Boon Lay.

a lot of these YOG buses cheong like mad on expressway. i think YOG2164 was flying at 90-100km at least on SLE two nights back.. There is still 60km/hr speed limit sticker at back of bus.. think TP also dun care.. How to stop the bus and book the driver and then causing all the YOG competitors or officials to be late?
anyway, even normal private buses cheong like mad. ask those NSF or those NSman they should know. Those chartered private buses taking NSF/NSman alway speed. during one of my ICT, around 9 buses were chartered and all was breaking the 60km/hr easily on expressway and going on 2nd lane all the time..

Very hard to catch even though recent days spate of speeding related accidents.To think of it esp of NSF, the govt has to make a tough stance. If one fine day fetching NSF get into speeding related accident, see wat happens next... things could be avoided
