SMRT to get DDs soon

last SG · 2013-12-10T11:16:54+00:00

i seldom come in to post information but once i post, my information will be 100% accurate, trust me

lemon1974 SG

as compared to back in 2010, the Old Choa Chu Kang Road has been improved and is so much better today.

The road was somewhat re-constructed. Modernised. More safe for cyclists. better road infrastructure. well-paved.

i know...but someone dunno...

lemon1974 SG

I read from some old topics here that the roads are narrow that even 2-axle DDs cannot pass through...

old topics? maybe it is better for you to go find out some more facts.. An OC is 2.55m width and there is no issue for them to travel on that road, why would a 2-axle DD which is 2.5m in width cant pass through that road.. even the army 5-tonne trucks which are much wider have NO ISSUE in passing through that road.... and those long/wide flat bed trailers which are carrying ARMY Tanks have no issue in travelling on this road...

I really sensed it is going far too overboard this time...

and I don't think I can tolerate taking sole responsibility for posting this kind of information.

People will find it strange at times...even if this is already in the past,

but why does it contradicts the current situation right now?

Those buses that the service used in the past have the same width as the currrent, but why at that point of time it cannot use DDs at all?

Can I really accept this kind of strange excuse?

67 does not have DDs before lah.. apparently all the singapore roads are accessible to DDs (or any vehicle less than 4.5m in height).... unless there is a gantry showing the height limit (such as the one under the flyover going to Lor Chuan)....

I thought used to have Volvo NAC last time?

Perhaps it's about turning angle...?

The 2-axle DDs are shorter than our standard SDs.

If they can't turn there, nothing in the current fleet would.

As for getting hackles from lemon, all I can say is MAN UP (I make the assumption that you are a guy) and learn to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your posts.

Have some backbone dude, but try not to grow one when people try to (for YEARS) correct you.

Ok?

Piece of advice...

sbst191 SG

I suggest there should be dds deployed for svcs 11,82,84,115,120,141,191,262,272,275,282,284,325 to cater to the growing demand of bus fans who wan to joyride them~

For Sv 74 can have 1 dd parked every 200m at buona vista and amk to cater to the peak hour crowd and school crowd and drivers on standby waiting for ppl like SBS2601D to go to Adam Rd FC to makan~

Sv 147 can have dds parked and on standby at NBR as it is very crowded~

I would like that indeed!

Very infuriating to see SDs on 74 and 147.

On a more serious note, having stand-by and parked empty buses for students is actually practiced in Perth and Sydney.

It involves a timekeeper at the major bus stop to radio the drivers to enter service when the crowd swells.

You should have at least cited the "old topics" so that we know what went wrong.

Maybe I am wrong to have used this kind of source as a reference...come to think of it, why 2-axle DDs can't be used when rigids of 2.5m width can be used?

Actually 74 does that for PM peaks.

Usually the SD will be waiting empty just before SIM and NP till a specific time.

It helps.

But the problem with 74 is that this bus is packed at practically all times of the day, including late at night.

My friend had a chat with a SMRT BC (TIB973A svc 67 driver), and he mentioned that 190 and 67 will get dd. Maybe 67 can get dd after all?
