Editor’s note: This story was updated at 9:30pm to reflect that the bus crashed into a taxi stand and not a bus stop, as earlier reported.

A Go-Ahead operated bus crashed into a taxi stand outside Yishun MRT Station on Wednesday (May 24).

A video posted on Twitter by user PardonDix showed the upper deck of the bus pierced by the roof of the shelter.

The video was posted around 1.16pm.

A Go-Ahead spokesperson told Yahoo Singapore that the accident involving bus service 85 happened at 1:08pm, and that no one was injured.

Go-Ahead said it deployed staff to the scene to ensure commuters’ safety and to ensure that bus services remained unaffected.

The spokesperson added that investigations into this incident are ongoing.

When Yahoo Singapore visited the site at about 8:45pm on Wednesday, construction cones had been placed around a section of the affected taxi stand. Part of the roof of the taxi stand was visibly damaged.
