Be it DD or bendy, their standard of maintenance may not
improve. They need new management inside.
Look at the bendies, some overworking, not enough rest. What
about those poor bendies who run NR7 on weekends? They should
really deserve better maintenance if possible... Just feel sorry
for those bendies..
Look at our roads. More and more cars. U think it's easy for a
bendy to filter from lane 3 to lane 1? In my opinion bendies are
more feasible for intratown/feeder services, whereas for trunk like
190 851, DD would suit best.
Surely, if u got a chance to not move up a DD on a feeder
service because it's just a few stops, u would definitely stay at
the lower deck... That's when bendies come in place to solve that
problem.
But overall, SMRT Buses Ltd needs alot of revamping. Management,
maintenance are some of the key factors to consider.
What I can say about SMRT Buses in a positive way is that, it is
really nice to have those announcements that requests paxs to move
to the rear. A solution for those PRC drivers who do not know how
to speak english very well. Also another thing is the PIS system.
And that's all for now..
If there are no WAB bendies to replace the current ones
(unlikely), the most SMRT can do is to do 2-to-1 replacement in my
opinion... SMRT is DEFINITELY not ready for DD.
