  Dont know if this post belong here..but its a private bus that broke down that sparked this incident.

  A private bus broke down at Nanyang Drive in NTU. It broke down at the section where there is only one lane per direction with a divider in the middle (Before Lee Wee Nam stop). End up many 179/179A jammed up there and unable to move.

  Subseqent traffic and 179/179A were diverted to use the opposite lane, and traffic in the 2 directions have to squeeze in that one lane. Was on SBS7402D service 199 and it had to squeeze with buses like SBS9349L on 179. Lucky can squeeze past if not traffic there really can come to a standstill.

  Spotted this at 0830hrs while i was on my way to the exam venue and heard that quite a number of students were late due to this. Twitter page "Voice of NTU" also posted this on its page and encourage students to note the jam.

  Personally not affected cos i took 199 but anyone affected?

  This is also featured in Singapore buses FB page with a photo apparently...

  I know about its accident in October, I am just reusing the same word that comes from his post. I remembered spotting SBS2786D doing 193 somewhere in late November 2013.

  TIB1152X on 190 broke down at opp blk 210 bus stop (2 stops after cck int). Not sure the cause but bus was still able to move. Bus occupied the whole bus shelter area. Next 190 (SMB3049B) was unable to drive into the bus bay so went to the front of TIB1152X to pick up pax from TIB1152X. Pax started to alight from 1152 and as it was raining heavily, pax have to board 3049 under the heavy rain. Pax were scolding the 1152 BC and the BC just kept apologising. Not all the pax managed to board 3049.

  After 3049 left the stop, 1152 BC was seen driving 1152 out of the stop and stopped at the end of the bus bay so that subsequent buses can stop at the bus shelter.

  Spotted around 5.05pm, 181213
