Spotted this bus on my way into work this morning. Turns out there was a building under construction that was lifting some metal beams via a crane but the beams crossed over the main road where a Citybus was passing by.
On a similar subject some of you might not be aware of this but the employees of KPTC, the public blue buses are on strike because they’re protesting a KD50 salary cut. [News]

50 KD cut!!!! that should be more than 50% of what they are making!! what a shame!!
Less buses on the street?
Lots of holes in this blog now š
ahahaha what is it with you and holes?
Mark has a hole in his soul !!!
A few people have previously complained about the danger of falling objects from construction sites over Kuwait.
Someone needs to do something about that
Less buses on streets,
BUT,
More crowd in buses; many passengers left on bus stop since buses are already passing fully packed, employees are getting late for their offices; passengers (especially to and from Mirqab) have to walk a lot to get up to the path of City-Bus. Passengers who have already paid money to KPTC for their monthly ticket (transit pass) have to pay again to City-Bus or KGL bus.
hopefuly its only a bus not a small car !!
if it was a car with a family inside it , thats sound a disaster ..
I think the way some of them drive THEY should be paying US to allow them on the road.i saw one driver pull out and clip the back end of a small white car on the Fahaheel expressway yesterday, speed off leaving the car skidding into the hard shoulder.
It should be LESS CARS AND MORE BUSES on the street. Plus, what kind of answer is THAT? It is only fair that these workers get a fair wage– they have rights too. I’m sure many of you would probably freak out if 50KD was cut from YOUR salaries. You probably wouldn’t even begin to know how to survive on the wage they are currently living on…
I completely agree with W… Many a times even i’m annoyed with the bus drivers when i’m driving but that doesn’t mean their rights are taken away from them.
And the damage to the Citybus should be a reminder how dangerously people ignore the safety rules at the construction sites.
Kuwait.Home of the righteous.
I heard that the beam also fell onto a trailer truck cabin crushing the driver.
Cut in wages has a direct effect on the quality of employees and their safety.
Give peanuts and ur gonna get monkeys….
hike the pay and hire more sensible and responsible drivers…
Welcome to Kuwait. The land of dreams.
Lool! welcome to the Arab world, less public transportation, more cars , not in a million years will we start to think of the environment. That in addition to less humanity, 50 KD cut??
looks like an Armageddon
;/
you have a thing for holes š
hay 7arakat batman! mafe ‘3ero!
Sfsa is right.
shoot!
Why would they cut 50kd from those poor people’s salary? Isn’t that all they make? Tsk tsk tsk…. Oh.. And aren’t those people in charge of the construction site gonna pay for that? And pay the families of all those poor workers whe fell of the millionth floor :p
And that too in RAMADAN?
thats a bad accident, was anybody injured?
do we have like construction site safety rules in kuwait?
I have seen many foundation pits dug up for new buildings but they are left like that for many months…these are real hazards to public safety. anyone could fall in or drive into one!
Cutting Salaries isn’t what they should be doing, they should be improving their services, and these guys don’t get paid enough anyways!
