One dead after accident near Queen Street Bus Terminal

The bus terminal runs cross-border bus services to Malaysia, including SBS Transit Service 170, Causeway Link Service CW2, and the Singapore-Johore Express.

SBS Transit said in a Facebook post at 9.19pm on Oct 6 that its Service 170 had stopped operating out of the terminal due to an accident. Instead, commuters boarding there were advised to use a temporary shelter near the junction of Arab Street and Queen Street.

Those travelling to the terminal were told to alight at the bus stop in front of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes on Ophir Road.

SBS Transit staff were on hand to help commuters, the transport operator added.

When contacted, a company spokesman said on Oct 6 that the terminal was temporarily closed and later reopened at about 11.50pm the same night.

Service 170 also resumed normal operations at around the same time.

Images posted online show several SCDF and police vehicles and personnel at the scene.

A firefighter can be seen kneeling on the floor in front of a bus and seemingly looking underneath the vehicle. Nearby, several people are seen holding up a translucent sheet near the front left wheel of the bus.

In another picture, a blue tent can be seen set up beside what appears to be a CW2 bus.

ST has contacted Causeway Link for more information.
