[@ryanseah2311]

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

[@keamiss]

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.

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 !

[@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.

[@cursebr2937]

Nvr seen taxi stand with shelter in Singapore? Height of most of them aren’t tall enough for bus

[@zackzou1441]

As a designer, you would never expect a double deck bus hit a taxi stand, that’s why no need to design taxi shelter for 4.5m height

[@dachee]

@@zackzou1441 As a designer, it is your fundamental responsibility to ensure that your design meets all required specifications including safety.

If cyclist inside vehicle can maneuver this can never happen unless 3 choose the control of same direction? If taxi are secretly assassin chasing $1m, targets somehow should just be able to let bypass the stress of fixing "for it to be late", from someone that can drive(if story of some really taking salary as cyclist inside)? By common sense a vehicle can be used for a long time anyway maybe the lots of payment(displayed one, or it's actually different price unless at target) is the years to cycle inside? They easily get it like to make-believe of jealousy, it's just about "if nobody helped" then still have to go through something as "reason of science 'natural disaster'" been too long. What makes them know of "will be attacked" definitely the injuring-movement too? As they complicate "coincidence of knowing" heroicly and being into such profile to not be spotted? At least boundary? To believe "police is only about theft and ownership" is something different in life, then have baton? The abandoned structure movement? Firstly "if more knows or less knows" is their actual standby maybe? If story of "zombie"(people biting people) at Boon Lay, Jurong west, Jurong east, they definitely will be there to become easy finish anyway? Police cannot become forces of creating into old folks home, boys/girls home etc.? Is it have police stuck then if move to call is bad? I think to believe it is hard. A police of high rank being blackmailed?

[@MaroonedInDub]

Maybe the driver has been suspended pending an investigation. Hopefully, the investigation will show that it is the fault of the design/designer.

[@jayden8963]

That will depends on few socioeconomic factors. Not purely on driver's innocence.

Human error. Bus driver was blind and blur for that few seconds. Why have eyes and 6 senses and where was his alertness ?Can a blind man be a bus driver ? Plain human error can also create a war ,divorce ,rape , murder, scam and many more. If there is a big hole on the road and in front of you ,do you want to drop into the hole unless you are a blind man. Take responsibilty at home and the moment you leave your house.

[@ricohflex777]

Many bus drivers are Malaysians working in SG. They have a history of abusing substances like Ecstasy in the past. This causes permanent brain damage. That explains the sudden and inexplicable weird actions and loss of control by some bus/truck drivers in SG. This is just one in a series of strange accidents over the years.
