He even asked if I smoked and offered to open the windows for me," she said. However, the situation took a turn for the worse when the driver allegedly told her that Lentor Avenue, which was part of their route, was closed, prompting him to take an alternative route.Despite attempting several routes, Rose Ann said they encountered multiple road closures.By around 1.30am, the pair ended up near SBS Transit's premises in Yio Chu Kang.
