Commuters on an SMRT bus were required to evacuate the vehicle near Punggol Road and the Tampines Expressway on October 17 after smoke was observed emanating from the rear. Footage circulating online depicts passengers exiting the bus in an orderly fashion, with some individuals returning briefly to process their fare cards. The vehicle, identified as service 110 operating between Buangkok and Changi Airport, was carrying travelers with luggage at the time. This event has led to public speculation regarding whether the bus is a Mercedes-Benz Citaro model, a type that has been associated with multiple fire-related incidents throughout the current year. SMRT has been contacted for further clarification regarding the cause of the smoke and the specific model of the bus involved in the occurrence.
