Accident rate in Bukit Batok interchange 'not too different' from overall bus accident rate: Chee Hong Tat
SINGAPORE: The accident rate at Bukit Batok interchange, where two public buses collided on Jul 11, is similar to the overall bus accident rate, Senior Minister of State for Transport Chee Hong Tat said on Monday (Jul 26).
"The accidents and the near misses data for Bukit Batok interchange is not too different from what is in the general situation that I reported earlier, in terms of the accident rate and also the number of accidents that happen within bus interchanges and also across different settings," he said in Parliament.
Mr Chee was responding to a supplementary question by Member of Parliament (MP) Tan Wu Meng (PAP-Jurong), who had asked if authorities kept track of the number of accidents at Bukit Batok interchange.
