Driver killed in double-decker bus accident

[Turbonetics]

Should not treat these kind of events as accidents.

 

We need to ask if got system fault- is drivers given too little rest, safety not emphasized enough, training not good enough. .. Etc..

 

I only hope next bus accident kenna an elite or mp son or ceo family or something. Only that will wake up the system.

 

 

your post is so political and childish.

this kind of event is not accident then tell us what should it be classified as?murder?

or push the blame to political parties?

i hope you kena accident and killed someone and the judge sentence you to death and said its not an accident(if you are a driver in the first place to start with).

 

does your life sucks that you hope someone superior than you die earlier than you?

if this is not accident then what is accident?

 

it's very mean to wish for something unfortunate to befall on anyone, whatever their background.

 

for your information, this did happen before. wonder why heavy vehicles were regulated so strictly for so many years? because former minister ong pang boon's wife (herself a former MP), mdm chan choy siong, was killed in an accident involving a 10-wheeler. http://infopedia.nl.sg/articles/SIP_791_2005-01-22.html

 

not to sound mean but isn't this point clearly speaketh of the saying, till the s--t hits the fan?

Wah, nowadays AT also can buy Camry..

Anyway, RIP and wish the wife a speedy recovery..

 

Ehh, the AT we are talking about here is the bus driver. Not the Camry driver.

This is terrible, our family member, friends used the zebra crossing, traffic junction daily.

 

A bus that just lost control at a junction is quite distrubing

[Mockngbrd]

World Class public transport system!!

 

System faults are man made.

Correct. Think these bus services given too much rights leow on SG roads until they becomes so complacent. :angry:

Buses hitting other cars, pedestrians, lamp posts, bus shelters etc etc. We are seeing more and more of this.

 

How our bus system selects, trains and deploys these bus drivers? Are they properly trained, monitored, managed, and also given sufficient rest and realistic time schedule to finish the jounery?

 

If our miw claim this as a world class public transport system, they are obviously living in a different world from the masses who have to endure the world class service, may even have to risk their safety using the buses.

 

Calling it an accident doesnt relieve the bus system of the responsibility and accountability of these events.

Talk about crazy bus drivers, I was tailgated by one coming out of the zoo today. The single lane road is full of blindspots, sharp turn, up hill, down hill etc, I pushed to 70km/h, would have gone faster still if it werent for a motorcycle blocking me but the bus continued to glue to my backside till our paths diverged at the junction at Mandai Road.

 

Let's see how many more people have to die before something is done.

Even if people continue to die, they won't do anything one.

 

 

Chew on this thought.

There are safety initiatives in systems that is known that analyses such 'accidents' to prevent the next one. But usually need money and effort and recommendations are also a cost.

 

I can see you are low level employee who would not know of such things.

 

Go educate yourself - this lesson free for you.

Here, unfortunately, peasants suffer, CEO and people in power look the other way and treat as " just another accident." and "move on"

I too think that nowadays bus drivers have become more hiong and inconsiderate.

 

Examples:

1) In the past, I observe bus drivers always gave way to cars for the latter to filter into the bus' lane. Now, I personally encountered bus drivers who refuse to let me filter in, unlike lorry drivers. That doesn't stop me from being gracious to them and give way to them especially from bus stops. There are a lot of passengers in the bus, and any delay will cause all of them to lose valuable time.

 

2) A few days back, I encountered a Bendy bus on the slow lane which signalled to filter into my lane (middle lane) at Boon Lay Way. I let it into my lane because I thought it wanted to turn right at the next junction. I got very dulan when it filtered back to the slow lane after overtaking a few cars in the slow lane. KNN, he created a mini jam when he wanted to filter back to the slow lane near the bus stop. Forgot to download the video clip from my DVR and now it got overwritten liao.

Pardon me, but.. what does "AT" means?

[Mits_jc]

AT refer to Ah Tiong aka derogatory term for PRC folks...

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ah%20tiong

 

1. ah tiong

A pejorative termed used by overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia to describe mainland Chinese immigrants in the same way FOBs is used by Asians in the US, Canada and Australia to disparage recent Asian immigrants.

 

The etymology of the word stems from the Hokkien (a predominant Chinese dialect spoken in Southeast Asia) pronunciation of China "Tiong Kok" which in standard Mandarin would be pronounced as Zhong Guo.

 

The use of the word is usually preceded by other adjectives ranging from rude, chao and arrogant to hot, sexy and chio - with the latter three being generally reserved for working ladies of PRC origins. As demonstrated from the above, the use of the term Ah Tiong transcends gender boundaries.

That chao ah tiong is damn f--king rude! How dare he cut our queue! We're in KL, not Kunming!
