Smrt sv854 - STOP PUTTING O405G
ON THIS BLOODY SERVICE SMRT! Why can't you put a high capacity bus
that is not a non-wab bus ? And also SD is not suitable as I have
seen the passenger load on 854 during 8pm+ , fully loaded with
people standing and squeezing to the doors ( bus was not late it's
was 2 mins early ) . Even a 2 min early bus have no seats available
starting from Upper changi road bus stop . And it's not just 1 or 2
buses , I counted 5 Buses by the 6 bus it was not full pax as by
that time it was 9.30pm . So smrt please stop putting o405G and SD
buses . Put more double deckers since you have received extra A95
and B9tl deploy some of them of 854 .
My 854 deployment plan
Monday to Friday ( peak & non-peak)
MAN A95 - 9 Units
Alxendar Enviro 500 - 9 Units
Volvo B9tl - 10 Units
Total 28 Units
Weekends ( peak & non-peak)
MAN A95 - 7 Units
Volvo B9tl - 7 Units
MAN a22 - 5 Units
19 Units total
Are you a PIW to complain about WAB buses? IF NOT STOP
COMPLAINING. 854 is doing just fine with its current deployment.
What 854 needs is high capacity buses, be it bendy or DD. The last
we need is some joker complaining about WAB status and SMRT
spamming 854 with all the SDs/Rigids. In most cases the bus before
and after a O405G is a WAB SD or DD and most of these bendys only
do splits on weekeday peaks to boost capacity. Seldom you have 2
back to back O405G.
We all know that these bendys are going to be around till end of
lifespan, after which they will automatically be replaced with DDs.
So just leave it alone and stop saying stupid things. Anyway quite
a number of 854 perm O405Gs will retire in 2017... 1122H, 1123E,
1134Z, 1136T so they will be replaced, hopefully with
A95s.
But I can tell u as long as SMRT has O405Gs, you can always
catch one on 854 till the very last days of O405Gs. SMRT likes to
deploy spare O405Gs on 854.
I say this as a 854 commuter EVERYDAY. I will always wait for a
bendy or DD.
