Our reader is asking for a blanket ban on buses and trucks on expressways as he thinks they are "dangerous, slow and obstructive". He thinks there is no need for so many buses during peak hours as our MRT is already so efficient. What do you think?

This is regarding your news about the SBS bus 72 which drove against flow of traffic at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5. I called up SBS transit to enquire about his condition and it was because the bus driver suffered a mild stroke while performing his duties.

Since public are not allowed in the bus parks, it is very obvious that the rubbish on the ground is all contributed by the bus captains. If they can litter so freely even at their own workplace, I am skeptical of whether they even bother to keep public areas clean outside of working hours, with simple gestures such as throwing their own rubbish into rubbish bins.

According to a netizen, she found a foul smelling puddle of urine under the seat of a double decker bus 65. She said that the entire cabin smelt of urine and she was shocked to discover the disgusting sight under one of the seats.

A reader came across a photo of a man flashing his private part on a public SBS bus on Facebook and shared it with us. According to our reader, the incident took place yesterday (25 January) in Singapore on bus number 14.

The National Transport Workers' Union learnt of another assault on a bus captain which happened late last night. The assailant, suspected to be drunk during the attack, has been arrested. The bus captain suffered facial injuries, and he has been taken off duty and given 3 days to rest and recover by SBS Transit. The union is thankful that SBS Transit responded promptly to assist and support the injured bus captain.

I got up bus 13 from Sims Ave at about 7.40pm heading to Siglap Rd. Bus captain Ihsan (SBS 8256C) greeted everyone getting on "Good evening". Not only that, he physically turned around said "Bye, thank you" to all that was getting down, happily n enthusiastically. Now, I'd seen nice n polite bus captains all the time but Ihsan repeated all this at every single stop until some passengers who'd been on his bus for at least a few stops felt they had to say "thank you" him in return.

Malaysian Wong Kum Fatt, 38, was on his first day of official duties when he struck Mr Wee Joon Kin, 78, while turning left at the T-junction of Lorong 6 Toa Payoh and Toa Payoh bus interchange.

The bus driver said that a car in front of the bus had suddenly swerved into their path.

As part of SBS Transit’s fleet-wide inspection in July 2016, hairline cracks were discovered on 11 of the first-generation Sengkang-Punggol LRT (SPLRT) trains, or Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs). These affected LRVs have been in operation since the SPLRT started in 2003.
