THE WORST BUS ACCIDENT EVER:
in 1988 a Volvo B57 of svc 225 had a nice crash.
The bus was tuning into the bedok bus int from outside. it nicked a bus front while turning. the driver then lost control of the bus. The bus ran ontot eh kerb into the present alighting area. Past Foodfare NTUC. Ran into a "bus alighting sign"
the bus still moving. it runs intot he ATM machine at bedok int.
the driver panicked and jumped out fo the bus. lucky there were no passnegers.
The bus ended up being stopped by the guard fence near where svc 33 parks today.
the bus was damaged beyond whatever i know

Bedok interchange has a lot of accidents, I remembered in the 1980s, a service 3 ND bus crashed into the boarding berth and injuried passengers waiting at the berth. The berth is now used by service 33.
