SMRT MAN A24 Bendy Bus now operates on Sunday too.

Bus Fan SG

No use lah...I've given feedback to SMRT(via fb) and some drivers whom I know, the feedback wasn't replied(or at least some updates since they already stated that it requires time to gain some evidence or something) and worst still...I heard from the drivers whom I've given the feedback to that the company don't even listen to them

Oh.. SMRT dont want to earn money than never mind. SMRT can just have single seats(front) with pole in the centre divided into three like MRT. Behind no need care la. Just return to normal.

The replacements for the Hispano MK I bodied Mercedes Benz O405G with a couple of MAN NG363F MANdys with similar SMB388S specifications (seems to be) already delivered and awaiting registration with SMRT Buses!

I foresee SMRT won't buy many bendies this time.Most of it will be exclusively for feeders/Intratown/Short trunk like 859 or height restrict areas.I don't rule out they're planning for high power DDs for trunk Svc like 187/190/963

There will still be more MAN A24..trust me

SMRTB applied to buy more MAN A24, LTA approved but only allowed a certain quantity as they want to imposed a cap

confirm no DD

trust me

The only thing I trust is that someone may get into trouble soon.

And it may not just be you.

Its kukus like you who make companies nervous about sharing their knowledge with varsities and various tertiary institutions.

Spare a thought for others who genuinely wish to learn. Please. Use some FREAKING brains.

No DDs SMRT pls. Dislike DD

If anything, I think bendies should be reserved mainly for express routes. Some feeders and townlinks can use DD.

Seriously why does Singapore need to have its cake and eat it? It is either DD or bendy but not both, as far as I am concerned. It is also clear that the DD is more efficient as a high-capacity bus in our environment. The VO3X carries 7 more pax than the O405G, but the latter takes up 1.5x more road space than the former.

It's the kukucheow ideas for the sake of variety

Reverse~(for bolded)

Think bendies exclusively for short trunks/feeders/Intratowns.Cbd Svc like 190 sure lots of rigids.

Then how to cope 190 passengers. Even 2-3 bendies can be packed in 190 at a given time in Orchard or BPJ.

SMB66X SG

My stand is this :

CBD or those Long distance svc have DDs, since the road they are plying are mostly main road(trees don't affect the bus)

Feeders/Intra-town/Short distance svc have Bendy, since the road they are plying are mostly small roads where the tree branches are growing sidewards to the road, affecting the bus.

Bro by the time DTL is up and running.190 still use bendies but not that much,Probably only 20 out of 42 buses?Think the DD plans also fail.

190 shouldn't be much affected for BPJ - CBD sector, but the CBD sector itself will take a huge impact. What I am worried about is 960 though. Along the Newton and Little India sectors bendies were packed to the brim, even a bunch of two bendies could be filled up there within 2 stops. The MANs have to fly stop somemore.

But this will change the moment DTL starts. By the time TSL starts this svc should most probably have been rationalised alr. Nevertheless, the bendies pulled out from 190 and 960 should be able to be used to supplement the feeders/Intratowns/short svcs (172, 856 etc).

LOL

you sound as if the info i shared can shake the whole of sg

i can assure u only less than 0.001% of the sg population cares

SBS2601D SG

You miss my point.

Its ok if you don't mind getting into trouble. I don't care or give a shit.

Its not ok if you make companies suspicious of social media and not keen on joint ventures with local varsities and polytechnics despite clear advantages in cultivating paths for those with interests to follow through(read you so-called bus fans)!

Which part of this is so damn hard to understand eh?

I am sure there are those of you guys who would love to work with engineering or even sales teams with Alexander-Dennis, Volvo, Daimler....or go behind the scenes with LTA, SMRT, SBST.

Tell me.

Why are you guys walling yourselves up?

All the Best! SG

Why it only on 190 ah? Not other svcs?
