Someone saw Alexander Dennis representatives at SMRT. What happened further? It's been 6 months now with the tender announcement and still no signs of high capacity bus addition, apart from the 1-2-1 replacement of old bendies.

Rejected and SMRT choose Lion City family~ Lion City G coming~

From what I heard from an SL, although it might only be 60% true... SMRT decided to stick with bendies for the time being as their depots and the places their services mostly pass by are anti-DD. As in their own infrastructure is not ready to support DDs yet...

Bendy buses are nothing but a time bomb when taking into account an increasing human and vehicle population. There's a reason why the bus service standard difference between SBST and SMRT is like that of a restaurant and fast food outlet. Double decker buses and the efficiency it brings using the least possible space in small Singapore.

sbst275 had mentioned that purchasing additional bendy buses will not be allowed by LTA (implicitly or explicitly). Correct me if I am quoting it wrongly. As of now the A24s are just a 1-1 replacement for the retiring bendy buses. No capacity addition. So that means SMRT has to fix the situation somehow otherwise they will lose revenue on the high loading sectors due to lack of high capacity buses.

LTA should stop spending $$ on BSEP first(for SMRT), but rather on the SMRT's depot if they(both LTA and SMRT) wants to improve~~

Since they got money also, can go upgrade the interchange height also(like Yishun Int and Bukit Batok).

At the end of the day, SMRT don't need to pay = no bus fare hike = government and people benefits = 6.9m population friendly = economy boost

LIke that also benefitted bus community, don't need debate this and that, or even rage over this issue just becus his idea wasn't what everyone is thinking of...

swee_heng SG

Anybody knows if there is any more depot tour organised?

dan474 SG

they have no choice now other than to bring in more SD for now.

SMB145B SG

i do not think that bendies are banned or not.

given that boon lay had dedicated lots for SMRT buses (all of which are 18m long)

woodlands have some lots for bendies as well

Bukit Panjang temp bus terminal have some lot for bendies as well.

bukit batok's height clearance is 4.5m

Yishun is more on the end-on berths

we cannot force SMRT to bring in DDs instead of bendies, can we?

SBS 6078 M SG

but it dosen't say we can't have a petition, right?

SMB355L SG

but it dosen't say we can't have a petition, right?

Should petition SBST to buy bendy bus~

should petition for you to die.

They want to bring in DD, but the problem is their depots cannot accommodate DD. Only WLBP is able to. WLDEP will be reserved solely for services with bendies and the rest of WLDEP services will park at WLBP. AMDEP obviously cannot, while KJDEP might not due to something in there that I'm not too sure of.
