This big gaping hole could be dangerous for commuters onboard this SMRT bus, STOMPer Jiajun says, but the company has placed a piece of cloth over it to conceal it instead of fixing it.
This is not the first time SMRT buses are found to be ill-maintained and it is unacceptable that SMRT doesn't keep their buses well-maintained, Jiajun says.
In an email, the disappointed STOMPer says:
"Earlier on, I was taking SMRT bus service no 913 (TIB 1070Z) from Woodlands Regional Interchange.
"As the bus was crowded, I managed to find a standing spot at the pivoting joint.
"While the bus was moving, I noticed there was a big hole at the pivoting joint and I could feel the wind and noise coming from the hole.
"The worse part was that it was covered by grey colour cloth taped all over the joint.
"I feel that SMRT can't maintain their buses at all.
"Almost every one or two weeks, there will be a complaint of a poor maintenance of SMRT buses.
"For example, the bendy bus that caught fire, leaking air-conditioning and the case when the exit door was left opened while the bus was moving.
"I wonder how many times SMRT must make headlines before they do something about their buses".
