lol better hv la someone pls write to SMRT for annoncement systeem (bus stop)

You can see such system including both visual and audio channels on MRT to inform the passagers the next MRT station. But why for bus as a more complicated transportation system, there is no bus stop reporting system on bus?

SMB128B SG

SMRT buses have. But not always on.

FireIce SG

audio no need lah

noisy

just display bus stop name on LED or something good enuf

Some SMRT buses are equipped with such panel.

Some buses are over crowded during peak hours. It will be good to have audio system.

Yah. Some old bus doesnt have but Citaro, OCs and MANs have such thing but almost all MANs are off.

Bus Stopping SG

Not that our bus network don't deserve such a stop announcement system, but the problem is our bus routes have too much stops, and too close to each other. It just makes the announcements pointless since if one misses a stop, u could just walk back.

No other bus network in the world have stops on an average of 400m intervals.

Yes our bus stops are nearer compared to other countries,Wait cost pass to who?

But OCs, MAN and Citaros have annoucement system. So SMRT can just play it through the system and instead of just playing “Thank You for trvaelling with SMRT Buses” and “Pls hold on to the grab poles and handgrips when standing in the bus”.

Maybe it's ture that Singapore get too many stops as a not very big country, but I don't think it's pointless to announce the stop, since 400m is not a short way for elder ppl or people in hurry for some business. I do believe this can make Singaoprean life much more easier~

Proven again SMRT better than SBST because SMRT have PIS~ and north east line breakdown in haze yesterday~

SBS 6238T SG

For what? Bus-stops in SIngapore are only about 400-500 m only

Bus Fan SG

Ya but you can play thrice. Like maybe departing the stop it annouce next bus stop is abc then on the way annouce again while announce when the bus is 5-10m away from the stop

Bus Fan SG

Btw, SBST Seedaro only has announcement system but no announcement are played.

Seedaro=Citaro

But the MRT SHUTTLE BUS is too slow and someone said no DDs are seen.

This is what SBST is bad at. When SMRT break down bendies are deployed. Clear load faster. And no excuse for bus occupying the bus stop since the people are spread out throughout the road.

Proven again SMRT should buy more bendy buy MANdy best~ DD useless cannot use MRT shuttle but bendy can~

It's not bendy good, it's SMRT know what to deploy.

Bus Fan SG

It's not bendy good, it's SMRT know what to deploy.

Ya but DDs are ok too. But maybe the SP buses SBST are used up but very unlikely to happen + SBST has more bus than SMRT but SMRT still deployed bendies that time. Wonder how is the frequency for the normal SMRT svc.

SBS 6238T SG

That time during peak hours.The DDs were not available at that time and usally peak hours,there`s jam of course on the expressways.
