explain "hit 3 cars"

looks like bus stop was used to stop the runaway bus. which is a good structure to use looking at that location.
want to use the water barriers wont stop one lor.

Updates: Was raining when I was coming home about 4.30. Roof collapsed, a crane was supporting it so that it didn't hit the ground. Just now at about 9.30, the roof was removed already. I think they are might-as-well-ing put in the new bus stop immediately.

Wah. Like that BCs and SLs will have a hard time stopping accurately and the bus behind would not save time by allowing the people to alight first.

i'm sure the driver did everything possible, and in a collision it'll hit him the hardest as it's head-on...

i think the current LECIP ones are so small they seem fit for single-deck buses more (like Malaysian Lance)...

for the first bus only.the 2nd bus still out of the PSD area but what makes me wonder is that if this really happens,there will be problems like:
- Wide Out-Swinging Plug-Doors hitting the PSD's if bus is too close
- Doors Won't open for LO,VO as the sensor cannot detect the bus doors
- Rain water dripping on the PSD's
- Passengers at the bus stop blocking the exit door of the PSD
But good for:- PIW as they know where to wait
- When raining,if the road has flooded with water,the water won't be sprayed to the passengers waiting at the bus stops
- Kiasu aunties who wanna be the first person to board the bus and able to choose her lucky seat

Why need PSD. The bollards on the bus stops are there for a reason.

i think too much liao.bus stop become MRT platform

but bollards may help to reduce the impact of damage..just by reducing the speed of the bus.
one of the bollards BROKE after hit by the bus...can see from the Ch8 news.. i think it is the bus stop/kerb which manage to stop the runaway bus...

someone said in hwz forum that the passengers shouted at the bus driver to stop the bus after hitting 3 cars but the driver reply cannot stop. likely is brake failure
sin ming also say tat after the driver replied cannot stop, 1 of the passengers tried to turn the steering wheel to the left. To prevent the bus from losing control the BC tried to turn it back to the right. The bus crashed into the busstop during the confusion. The BC is a 50+ years old Singaporean. Has been with SBST for 6 years. -

Siao la, just saw SBS 2786D on svc 51 then today kana such a serious accident..
Gotta split the route of this service.
Logic? Just because an accident occured = must split the route?Brake failures during broad daylight don't occur only on long haul routes.

I wonder what will happen to the BC? Will SBST side him or will he be terminated and sacked? It looks like the BC is going to pay for the damage.
Yesterday also got another news about SBS1924D about an uncle's hand got injured by the door of the bus , 1 female passenger says when this incident happened , passengers shouted at the 29 yr old BC asking him to stop but he didn't , so that uncle got so angry because BC was so irresponsible and rubbed stain of blood on the BC's uniform to proof.

whether the BC will get terminated or not is determined by who is at fault. judging from reports the bus experienced brake failure, so the fault may lie with the slbp workshop staff who might not have maintained the bus to standard.

SINGAPORE: The driver of the SBS Transit bus that ploughed into a bus stop in Eunos Link on Saturday has been suspended from his duties while investigations are being conducted.
The bus collided with several vehicles before crashing into the bus stop, causing 21 passengers to get injured.
Fifteen of them were sent to Changi Hospital and the remaining six, all children, were sent to KK Women's and Children's Hospital.
One victim had head injuries and was semi-conscious but is now in stable condition.
The rest, including the driver, suffered light injuries such as cuts and bruises.
A spokesperson from SBS Transit said that most of the injured received outpatient treatment, and SBS Transit would pay for all their medical expenses.
