There is no need for any DD or Bendy bus for SMRT just normal SD bus will do. increase the frequent of the bus timing will help to make the different. with d...

Wah piang eh wait flamewars again.Its already obvious mah why need to repeat?Let him have his say lar.Chinese new year I see chaotic at Chinatown where bendies on 190/851 cause discomfort to other road users.Im not biased but 190 better off with DDs.More comfortable journey even stuck in jams

I drive bendy before and I can tell you not many people's like to move to the rear after the 3rd door.I shouted like hell also no point,Only an inch they will move.Ccb

Even if you yell in a bendy, people in the 2nd compartment cant hear you. So no use spoiling your vocal chord :)

Bendy can max take 105-110 pax. Anyone who thinks more than that doesnt know the reality.

A Citaro can max take 70 pax even if it claims 90 pax because people dont move to the rare and it is obvious, they want to stand in the middle area where it is more comfortable.

True.

The only saving grace for DDs is that you have 82-85 seats in the first place. So isnt that the most comfortable journey and then on top of it, it can comfortably take 40 standees, though the claim states 50 standees. I think max is 125 pax for DD and 120 if it is more comfortable. Bendy 105-110.

TIB1218R SG

True.

You and you DD again...

But good thing that new buses got announcement. " Ding dong, Please move to the rear for the benefit of boarding passengers".

But funny DDs ppl can move to the rear,I've seen on 222,240,291

If you say bendies on 190 are preferred to DDs on 190 - then you have a very biased opinion. There is no practical reason why you would say that.

I know, that is meant to be my own opinion and not an argument at all.

That applies to SMRT only. I wonder why SBST doesn't.

SBS9252G SG

I think you have never sat in a bendy and never seen the max number it can carry. Your calculation is a joke.

then you calculate, i'm don't take SMRT buses and bendies all the time.

If bendies could only take up 105-110 then really something is wrong. Unless the real capacity is just for show

Real capacity is inflated, unless people move to the extreme end and there is not one inch space.

Aren't you all about bendies and SMRT all the time...

SMB228X SG

Actually those ppl have more experience on buses and what they tell u is about the infrastructure and LTA plans that indirectly doesn't support bendy buses at all.You see the current new BI so narrow to let svc with lot of bendy buses ply.But again human does make mistakes.Were to engross and with the extend to become extremist in our comments.The senior bus fans that you label names are all ex TIBS fans and do love bendies till SMRT take over and ruin its bus business.

If SMRT buy Euro VI Citaro Gs ex TIBS fans will like SMRT too!!!

SBS9252G SG

I think SMRT should start buy both DDs& Bendies.....

Citaros are quite expensive... Doubt SMRT would buy them. Only if Mercedes/C&C could give them a good deal like how MAN/STK did, I think they will stick to chassis + Gemilang bodywork.

And please, don't stereotype Gemilang. The quality is quite good now IMO, much better than the previous products like OC and KUB. It's much cheaper and faster to get spare parts in case anything happens also.

TIB 501 D SG

If SMRT buy new bendies, same length issue.

But at least maintainence is better. Problem with the current ones is actually maintainence issues and reaching midlife. Hope they get Enviro500 and MAN NG363F A24 or OC500UA.

BTW, bendies are not deregistering in 2017, but 2021. If lifespan extended then 2023-2024.

Is this part of the reason why SMRT chooses to buy more MANs and only 50+ Citaros including SMB136C for trial??
