Glass panel shatters on bus, sending shard into commuter’s leg: SBS Transit looking into cause

“A passenger was possibly leaning on the glass panel. The bus driver braked hard and the glass broke. Glass shards flew in all directions and onto some passengers.

“In one instance, a tiny shard was embedded in a lady passenger’s leg. There was a small cut, but no serious injury.

“The bus continued to the next bus stop at NTUC Income @ Tampines Junction, where most of the passengers decided to get off, but some stayed to call the bus hotline to report the incident.”

The Stomper said she alighted at the bus stop to take the next bus service 27.

In response to a Stomp query, SBS Transit spokesperson Grace Wu said: “Thankfully, no one had to be conveyed to the hospital for treatment while passengers onboard were transferred to another bus to continue their journeys.

“Meanwhile, we are looking into the cause of the incident.”
