do you know what you are saying?

i meant DDs, sorry about it

SMB145B SG

They really need dd, rigids is not going to work for SMRT unless Singapore's population is dwindling.

If they are going for rigids I rather they exit the bus business in 2016 and hopefully be taken by some other operators with better decision making.

yeah since they are literally spamming all the A22 into svcs like 961, 966.

854 with A22s

SMB145B SG

SMRT always come out with tons of "weird" patterns. just hope that LTA and HDB builds it with higher so that the DDs can be considered.

SMB66X SG

just found out some interesting facts.. temp interchange have around 21 parking slots for bendies buses.... the new interchange have only 13 parking slots for bendies buses... this clearly highlight the direction of the future bus fleets of SMRT...

Must see the finalise still?

...and NEA to clear TREEs that are protruding out to the road

I'll prefer they keep rigids, no increase in populations haha

They won't be so bad in decision making to go full rigids. There's definetely a solution, just the matter of time. Probably a MAN DD instead~~ But still, with the current status, they can't solve it smoothly. I suspect they will continue with the A24s, but lesser quantity before getting the DDs. Or else, they would just pump in some DDs influx with bendy operations[with the bendy extending], to stabalize the transfer.

SMB144D SG

Rigid bendy buses ..... Mad this SMRT the milk has decades since expired and they r still crying over it..... They are simply cocking themselves up thru every aspect , from incompetent management to lazy employees who simply know too well that company won't care with strightening things up

SMB144D SG

I mean , sembawang and yishun are really under full and unrivalled control which enables high management in SMRT to do what the f**k they please with routing control , seriously if anyone want to know why there is no major improvement in bus services and facilities in sembawang is because there are no new routes going anywhere thus no unecssary commuters are brought through the area so development would be slow....

All points back to SMRT management for not introducing more service through sembawang , so FOLKS expecting DD from SMRT , dream long long actually you can dream until man a24 is scrapped maybe due to licensing problems

SMB145B SG

...and NEA to clear roads with trees protruding out.

yeah

those trees

there should be some mini buses for low density

full rigid, single deck is not working.

ordering so many A22s for what?

Yeah, buses like AE200 will be highly recommended.

I don't understand why SMRT bought the MAN NL323 as a single-deck rigid bus.

If you buy a single-deck citybus that is more powerful than a double-deck citybus (Volvo B9TL Euro V), diesel consumption is going to be similar or even exceed the double-deck bus. No prizes for guessing what impact this would have on SMRT Buses' operating costs in the long-term.

The MAN NL323 can be built as a double-deck bus. There is one 2-axle example Gemilang had built for Hong Kong Fire Services.

What is more mind-boggling is the NG363F...Nobody buys a Ferrari and throttles its engines to operate like a sedan.

Must see the finalise still?

it is confirmed chop and stamp as finalised.. it is in the interchange speficiation of the HDB/LTA tender documents... 27 rigid lots/21 bendies lots for temp interchange, 33 rigid lots/13 bendies lots for the new interchange..

confirmed that the newinterchange can accomodate DDs..... if want prove, go read the tender documents (the link is in the first post, but too bad, think the doc have been removed as tender have closed)..

to save initial cost.. as simple as that... they look at the initial cost but never check the future running costs.

carbikebus SG

In singapore particularly city buses no need for such high output for a single deckers when most buses are limited to 60kmh only.Dont you know that high output engines need to drive fast once a week to clear carbon? Imagine A22 having to drive only 60-65 and long term your engine valves and turbocharger will clogged with unburn carbon.SBST on other hand should invest more above 250hp rigids and at least 300hp Deckers which on other hand save fuel although their massive fleets

SMB66X SG

PS, didn't see ur lines clearly. I tot you're mentioning the current and tempo only.

SMB145B SG

can accomodate DDs but

the two SBST svc 39 and 85 do not need any atm

85 also needs to wait for the action on PGL side

SMRT Buses, i dunno

5 years later , you wont know what happen.maybe yishun service all taken over by SBST?

maybe SMRT handover bus operation already.
