SMRT trials MAN double-decker bus

last SG · 2014-09-28T10:05:57+00:00

Now we knew why SMRT only orders 101 Alexander Dennis Enviro 500.I guaranteed this will be a sucessful trial and probably they will order at least 150 units...

According to Hong Kong Buses forums KMB has ordered another 80 units 12m MAN A95 plus 1 unit 12.8M MAN a95 . Seems like the MAN a95 has more customer buying it (man a95) unlike it's previous generation (Centroliner Kmb ) . Gemilang has lots of work to do - 122 units from singapore , 30 units for Australia , 80 units of KMB + 1unit Man a95 12.8m .

Well at least KMB and Australia gearbox won't get modified unlike SG MAN a95 . #Torqueless1stgearA95

There are very good reasons why the transmission is tuned this way.

Safety reasons yeah,At the expense of engine and cuel consumption,BCs tend to floor 2nd and 3rd gear instead.

My prediction for Yishun take over will be..

800/804/806/811/812/860:Mixture of Citaros and B9TLs.

803/805:Citaros.

850E/851:Mixture of A22s and A95s.

50 SG Citaros,20 A22s,40 B9TLs and 10 A95s.

Yio Chu Kang and Ang Mo Kio no need to guess what models.

Just give the winning bidder (if it is a new firm) the remaining BSEP E500s (along with some of the 5xxx rego ones if not enough). The A95s can fill their slots, especially at WLDEP.

Feeders and Intratowns like 800,811 etc will be deploy DDs once the new Operator take over.Dont think too much,LTA want their way so let it be,Anything feedback to them.

It's called brainless...

Not sure who suggested route 883 which plys 90% of 117 routes from Sembawang to Yishun..

883 is required but not so soon. Expect to see empty or near-empty buses for the next 1 year. Just like 46.

SMB145B SG

I have a reason for 883.

I have a reason for 883.

So that they can close the MRT from Yishun to Sembawang to add a crossover.

Maybe some pax will chose 883 over 117 who knows?Many pax got the mindset that SMRT is always faster than SBST.

It will really depend on which service comes first - 117, 169 or 883.

Given the current route, I don't think it's worth coming out another svc that heavily duplicates 117.

Could have just make changes to 117, since it's already facing low demands daily. And keep "883" till most BTOs are up. Then, the future 883 shouldn't be following the current route.

Ohh the guy who went on the newspaper? Who cares...his idea for 76 to terminate at Eunos was a stupid one...

FYI, making bus transfer may seems faster, BUT not always. Unless you make both svces having the same arrival timing, having the extra time to wait for passengers to make transfer blah blah, there's always prone to make your journey longer.

If he plan 70 to cut short at Eunos i still welcomed it given 70 routes but 76?Ok what is past is past.17 also whose idea to terminate at Bedok?Its consider a loop svc also not much difference..Rest time only 6-10 mins,Most of the 17 buses always arrive 3-5 mins late anyway..17 should give to SBST back since the bus passby their depot.GA can take 109 as compensation.But again who are we?We are just a small fry.

That was my proposal if you go through my posts on suggestions from last 2 months. I think LTA under pressure since haven't introduced new route since the last stupid route 46 they introduced with empty DDs.
