SBS 373A is the Sv. 174 O405
SBS 7273J is the Sv. 74 2-axle VO
TIB 596E is the Sv. 77 O405 -

It happened around 10amOriginally posted by oliver_yuen87:What time did it happen?

lots of damage... one in critical condition...
how did that happen? the bus that caused it must have been travelling bloody fast to cause so much damage.. and it was a bus stop...
hope the brakes were to blame.. and not any driver negligence... -
Actually TIB 596E have met with a severe accident B4,some where back in 1996 or 1997, I can't remember. At that time it was a perm service 176 bus. The bus met with an accident along West Coast Highway with a truck carrying construction pipe, (a long vehicle), TIB 596E left side windscreen was badly crush by the construction pipe and quite a number of passenger got injured and sent to hospital. After the repair, the whole bus body at the left side look slike new ones. But now it met with an accident again on service 77 along Bt Timah Rd. -
That's why for exams, not only must pray for good health, must pray for safety also!! pray not so suay to kenna such busesOriginally posted by Rachel_Lim:It happened around 10am -
Yes, interesting. Do not forget Sv. 74 may get an additional 3-axle VO in place for 7273J.Originally posted by TIB1186Z:Isit? Now that is interesting. A unique demonstrator on svc 77. ....and probably another Mk III for 74 ( there are plenty of Mk IIIs these days on svc 74 ) -
74 is not a nice number. In the late 1980s, MB 0305 on this service have met numerous accidents along Dunearn Rd and Bt Timah Rd, reasons for crashing into roadside trees.

I remember once there was this O305 of Sv. 74 that crashed into a gantry along Lornie Road, and the roof was scraped off, like the Sv. 198 Atlantean at Merdeka Bridge. Anyone know the rego and year it happened? Apparently the gantry was lop-sided, and eventually removed.Originally posted by tranquilice:74 is not a nice number.

It's Service 196. Seemed like all non a/c double deckers have their fair share of roof-scrapping accidents.Originally posted by SBS9818A:I remember once there was this O305 of Sv. 74 that crashed into a gantry along Lornie Road, and the roof was scraped off, like the Sv. 198 Atlantean at Merdeka Bridge.

OK. Somehow it's odd enough NAC double-decks always seem to have accidents. Like the Sv. 14 2-axle VO, and now the Sv. 74 one.Originally posted by Superbus:It's Service 196. Seemed like all non a/c double deckers have their fair share of roof-scrapping accidents.
