Mussammat said Rashidah had explained that the bus driver started yelling profanities to a taxi driver who overtook the bus in a risky manner.

 

"The bus driver then overtook the taxi and started speeding at which time he hit the barrier and fell."

 

If this is true than...who to be blame....

RW Management OUGTH to review and rebuild stronger structure walls at every single curves and corners up/down hill of GH after this tragic accident!

RW is willing to spend money to upgrade the casino floor and invest billions and billions of dollars in new project, YET, they put little concern to the safety of their customers and employees.

A BIG SHAME to this billionaire and his fellow executive directors who only concern about earning money!! [rifle] Should ask one of the director to take the same type of bus up/down hill and experience how's the journey "tastes" like!

Starts from boon lay can reached genting at 2pm?! :blink: I drove once to genting before, starts from 8.30am from JB and reached genting 3-4pm! [sweatdrop]

Avg about 6 hrs with 45 mins break in btw with a coach.Traveling speed abt 120km/hr on avg.

Nite time is shld be less than 6 hrs,lesser traffic.

For a car,6 hrs seems to be abit too slow.Unless you have long break at those rest station or you take ur time to enjoy the scenery.

For me,no way I can drive that slow,I will fall asleep.

You are travelling at a very very safe speed

That's all I can say

830 start, many can reach Gh top 1230-130

Sometimes, I am worried too when taking short holidays at GH with 5 Stars buses..... [sweatdrop]

 

Starts at 08.00am from Boon Lay Place at reach GH around 1.45pm ~ 2.30pm. with 2 stops (Yong Peng & KL) ...... :ph34r:

 

Their speeding along NSH like nobody business. Can also overtake some saloon cars. And also up the slope to GH.

 

 

They are using MAN bus. [laugh]

 

Upslope actually feels very slow maciam bus engine wants to die off liddat. Scary part is when you sit on the left and you can see the left side of the bus body like scraping against the concrete walls or wheels like going to run over the cliff edge. [bigcry]

 

Was in one of Five Stars coach and one of the tyres punctured when decending. Luckily it's a three axle bus with many other tyres to support. If car, die c0ck stand liao.

police is asking why 53 people on board if the bus can only take max 44 <_<

 

I believe in some countries, the passengers know their rights, and won't let the driver proceed ...... some will just walk-off the bus?
