The short clip showed a long line of public buses completely stationary along the road, with vehicles packed bumper-to-bumper near the Serangoon Gardens roundabout.

According to the video caption, passengers onboard experienced significant delays as traffic came to a standstill.

In the video, traffic appeared heavily backed up at the roundabout, with several public buses caught in the jam.

No immediate signs of an accident involving the buses themselves were visible in the footage.

However, the Original Poster (OP) mentioned in the comments that the disruption was “related to a PMD” or personal mobility device.

In a separate comment, the OP also said that they “saw a PMD got stuck”.

Some netizens say this is common occurrence

Others claimed that heavy jams near the roundabout are a frequent occurrence, especially on Saturday mornings.

One TikTok user felt that the roads in the area were simply too narrow and suggested that the infrastructure should be expanded or modified to better handle traffic flow.

Another commenter expressed shock at the extent of the congestion, though the OP later clarified that the delay lasted around 20 minutes.

MS News has also reached out to the OP for more information.
