A commuter sustained injuries while travelling on board an SBS Transit (SBST) bus on Wednesday (Sept 8), after the bus driver applied the emergency brakes.
The public transport operator in a statement on Thursday said that based on its closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage, the bus was travelling straight along North Bridge Road when a car in the next lane “suddenly cut” into the bus’ lane and brushed against the front of the bus.
SBST’s senior vice president of corporate communications Ms Tammy Tan, added that to avoid an accident, the bus captain immediately applied the emergency brakes.
The commuter, known only as Mr Siah, who was seated right on the first seat near the front door, had just stood up from his seat in preparation to alight. He then lost his footing and was thrown forward, Ms Tan added.
She said the bus captain then immediately stopped the bus and contacted the operations control centre which called an ambulance that conveyed the commuter to a hospital.
