Accidents and break down thread

I believe the timetables for 168 was pushed up and thus the 9615T driver has lesser breaktime.Originally posted by off_service:Oh my god, a cameo bus burnt on the cameoed service. SBS 9615 T is a permanent bus of sv 168. Seems like 9629D took over 9621A for the day.
9615T also seems to have faulty gearbox. -
SBST145 was towed on Lorong 2 Toa Payoh towards PIE (East) outside TPY @2120 hrs. The bus has a Canon ad. Can anyone verify the rego?

Like last time this secondary school boy committed suicide because his teacher was going to tell his parents that he had a girlfriend, the Chinese media reported it intensively while the ST did not write a single word about it.
Maybe the ST editors think these kind of accidents are minor and are not worth reporting then must save space for all the 'important' govt stuff?

Hmm, 9629D burnt up? Looks like BNDEP mx is far from satisfactory.
[b]SBS9629D of 168: Engine compartment caught fire upon reaching boarding bay of Bedok Interchange at 1705h. A burning engine smells terrible.
Replacement bus SBS9615T arrived at 1710h. Bus ride to Woodlands was uneventful except for 2 separate accidents along SLE.[/b] -

Anyway, once, it was reported on The New Paper that an old woman died while sleeping on service 961 CAC 0405 around december last year.Does any of you know the number plate of th CAC 0405.
Scared the bus might be doing cameo on 961 that day but actually a permanent on 307

If I am correct the CAC Merc of sv 961 is a WLDEP bus TIB 74x. -
Seems like I don't mix very well with VO3X 96xx series.
Today, I boarded SBS9648Z (service 80) at north-bound Upp Serangoon Road just after the junction with Hougang Avenue 2. As soon as the bus driver started to leave the bus stop, the bus started a chime that indicated some sort of electrical failure. In this case, it was aircon failure.
I also saw SBS997A with the breakdown sign at the 1st bus stop of east-bound Lorong Ah Soo. Bus driver was nowhere in sight. -
SBS 9539F broke down along Bencoolen St but could not see service no as it was removed by the time I was there. After which, SBS2640R came and stop right behind SBS9539F. SBS Technicians were on the bus also.

Picture on Straits Times show a Malaysian Lance. Accident occurred at junction of Sembawang Road and Yishun Ave 1.

Should be SBS9539E as there is no "F" suffix in Singapore's vehicle registrations.Originally posted by kitoshizc:SBS 9539F broke down along Bencoolen St but could not see service no as it was removed by the time I was there. After which, SBS2640R came and stop right behind SBS9539F. SBS Technicians were on the bus also.

MK4 (SBS 2766T) of Sv 23 had trouble with its engine when I was exiting Tampines Int at about 1:50pm. I assume after pushback from its berth it experienced engine problems and the driver drove it to the side to allow other buses to pass. Didnt see what happened after as I was already gone.
