Recently so many accidents and weird crime incidents happened in Singapore. People need to chill.

[liar-liar]

That's why woman and aunties use umbrella

There need to be a big sign that says this is a taxi stand or change the design of the roof!

i have seen myself, the trucks always park there doing unloading at the ntuc supermarket...they sometimes use the ramps to push heavy loads....there must be a root cause and needs investigation

[MultiWorld]

This is not the first time, the authority should change the design of the taxi stand !

[jovimathews]

We need more FTs to be familiar with Singapore bus lanes, Singapore road safety and speak Singapore lingua franca or the very least be able to read English road signs when working in the Public Services.

This is the 2nd time! First in 2017 with Go-Ahead, now 2021 with TT-S. May the BCs be more trained

I guess the way forward is to make the taxi stand of the same 4.5m height limit to prevent such incidents from reoccurring.

1. Why did Bus driver (SC or SPR ?) entered Taxi Stand road lane when the Bus Stand is actually 100m away ? This warrant investigations

2. Taxi Stand structure collapsed upon impact. Distinct new Taxi Stand design must be installed to avoid mixed up for Bus or Taxi drivers & passengers. I've been confused myself when travelling to a unfamiliar part of the island

3. Clear & big road markings for Taxi Stand in red or blue or yellow for Taxis Only !

It is time to stop building shelters that are lower than doubled decker buses over the roads.

A simpler solution than asking drivers to take note and avoid those overhanging roofs.

This is just an accident that is waiting to happen.

Apologize also no use got to pay for all the damages.most of the bus captain are not train to speak English they are desperate of drivers to the extend that cannot train the prc to speak English.

Bus Drivers need to go safety course.Always speed and ignore passenger safety.

[libratiger]

Now a days the road and bus under maintenance a lot of vibrations. Not sure if this will cause the drivers to feel giddy after long hours.

[Thewhitechocolate]

Driver forgot to either...
1.forgot to check the shape of the shelter or...
2.the driver didn't see the the sign
Not ok!!

[watermeloncat]

I hope the people were okay cause that ain't normal that is not normal

Tskkk tskk tskkk all these bus drivers. They are getting worse and worse. It only seems the locals and the female bus captains have better attitude and safety mindset

[dachee]

In my opinion, could it be a defective design waiting for such incident to happen. If this is so, why suspend the bus driver? Are there proper design to deter such incident? Good if the relevant authority can look into other locations with similar design and avoid suspending another bus driver for similar incident.

Bus driver thought its a bus stop. Taxi stand shelter need to be built to double deck bus height
