SBS 1000U, stop telling us that we are assuming because YOU are
also assuming... And please don't say that we twist the words
because YOU are the one who is twisting the words...
YOU find fault with us, but indeed YOU are the one at fault, so
stop pushing the blame to others like assuming that we are the ones
trying to start the flamewar. BUT the case is clear, YOU are the
one provoking us and trying to evoke a flamewar. I am so very
speechless...
Well, I am sharing what is going to happen in future and SMRT
should not repeat the mistake what TIBS done in the past. Things
are different now, compared to TIBS time. The problems within SMRT
in bus operations for the past years are what we need to look
into, I don't want SMRT keep on failing in their bus operations
just because of bendies. We need to make some sacrifices for the
future (forgoing bendies once all their lifespans are up) and
move on.
** Facepalm **
Did you even see the other thread before even coming over to say
that I was the one assuming that SMRT will continue to buy bendies?
Looks like you are unclear of the situation here. SMRT had indeed
chose to buy DDs but this doesn't mean they will stop buying
bendies for the sake of being a better public transport
operator.
If you didn't really get hold of the correct information before
you come, you cannot say that others are assuming things here. It's
my turn to say that you are assuming that your belief that SMRT
will not buy anymore bendies in the future is true. In fact, since
you had replied in that particular thread, by right you should have
seen the tender notice that SMRT is tendering for bendies. But you
are coming here to say that I'm assuming, so frankly speaking, you
may not have seen the tender notice but it is possible by only a
minority of percentage. The truth is that you did see the tender
notice but you are twisting the facts in front of me. Unless you
have other reliable proof that SMRT is only tendering for and
buying DDs only, not both, otherwise you will have to explain for
your words.
So sorry.
I used to STUDY in Woodlands. Even BEFORE more and more rigids
came in to replace the bendies.
And yes, just today I went to Woodlands to catch the Channel 8
artistes there. Bendies are still running smooth and well when I
boarded SBS9241M on 161 this evening. No jams.
So sorry again. Before you talk about government, please
remember that the government is about to (or had) agree(d) on the
tender SMRT had, which consists of bendies. They are NOT for CBD of
course, but for WOODLANDS FEEDERS/INTRATOWNS because the loading
pattern there is to horrible for a DD to cope.
Next. You won't want SMRT to get more new bendies. Buy DDs and
SDs that gives them much less delays and operation issues. Too bad
hor, that's EXACTLY what SMRT wants, as well as what Woodlands or
even perhaps Yishun residents want. You also said that SBST is
efficient. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! XDXD WOAH!!! Look at 222 then
talk to me lah. Their iris shit one, because one VSO can take so
long to unload all of its pax at Bedok Stn during morning peak.
913? Thanks to bendies, all of its pax are able to clear off within
40 seconds at Admiralty Stn. If it's a DDs, it would have taken a
minute or two to clear.
Wanna know why I love to take 969 to the east from Yishun in the
past? Because its Habits can "run" like the wind, even faster than
some of the LOs on 168. DDs is also heavier you know that. That's
because its axles have to carry more weight, with both decks
pressing onto them. I can only agree on the rate of burning of
bendies, although DDs burn too.
And I am NOT Living in my own well. I take 89/109 home everyday
and yes, most of the time is 969 overtake the DDs of 81. And I mean
REALLY overtaking. The bendy just zooms past the DD like nobody's
business. I can take vid anytime and show u if u wan.
Living in my own world. Soory boy, I am living in Singapore, and
I am proud to be a SIngapoean. I accept the truth, and that is SMRT
is gong to purchase DDs to deploy them on services on CBD svcs.
Again, I can accept that, but NO DDS FOR WOODLANDS
FEEDERS/INTRATOWNS.
I have seen tall raintrees, but that doesn't mean short
raintrees does not exist in Singapore. Go back to school. And work
hard!
Don't call me lazy. I am not lazy, unless you have proof to say
that. The reason I even added in the word lazy is NOT becuase I am
lazy to talk to you, BUT because people like you are not worth my
precious time to talk to, unless they are real absurd, like this,
and THEN I will talk for the sake of logic.
The tender only states high capacity buses. Don't assume that
they are bend on buying bendies.
The current infrastructure and the way public transport heads in
future means they do not want more queues and jams in future. The
govt is making bus system more efficient, less jams, less queues
but with more buses. Get it??? You think Woodlands will be like
this presently forever??? With more population in the future, the
roads there are going to be like CBD. So how??? SMRT then get stuck
in the middle to scrap the bendies early and get DDs till that
time. Is it too late??? If they insist on bendies, then good
luck to them.
The govt are already discouraging SMRT to get more bendies
in future because of all these and SMRT has already realised the
problems of bendies all these years. SMRT serve to solve govt and
public problems, not fulfilling your dreams in getting various
buses you want.
Like what I said before, you people like bendies doesn't mean
the public likes them That is your own opinion. Get that right.
Some idiots still insists that their loading are much faster. How
much faster??? Only a min or so but delays the other buses behind.
So rainy days??? Hog the whole bus stop, 3rd door is useless.
If 3rd door is the issue, then fine. SMRT can buy DDs with a 3rd
door. Then there will be faster alighting and yet save more space
on the roads. Bendy how??? Cut the bus into half and throw it on
top??? Or throw the trailer off??? Might as well get a SD or
DD.
And bendies speed because they have tight schedules not because
they are lighter. What a stupid comparison. Both are higher
capacity buses, both are heavier than SD. I can tell you that the
bendy is even heavier than the DD because of the turntable
mechanism in the middle. If SBST do not have relaxed timetables and
speed limitors as well, BCs can speed as well. But then drive so
fast for what??? Want to hit more bus stops and more accidents is
it??? This is a bus service, not F1 racing. Want to wait for
accidents and people injured and die then you are happy is it???
Stupid idiots, want to speed buy your own car. The public bus is
not F1 car to satisfy your speed desires!!!
Every morning got jam at Yishun? Sure or not? 
I don't think you have take 800,804,806,811 and 812...
I go Yishun and Woodlands everyday. And I have to go through all
these nonsense everyday. All thanks to bendies.
