Mr carbikebus, sadly some of these kids here don't even know your
intentions of your postings here.
Just ignore some of the kids here. They love to twist the fact and
present untrue stories to make themselves look better without even
looking at the big picture. Even after so many years, they still
don't understand the root of the problems that caused SMRTB chaos
that has been revealed.
Or are you the one who is assuming? Your numbers clearly states
that you are too exggerated in your own assumptions. Runtime won't
be doubled just because your assummed figures.
If your figures that bendy buses are more efficient are faster
in alighting, why is there longer queues along bus stops and bus
interchanges? And why do our poor BCs have to queue up in the
middle of the nights outside the bus depots for hours just to wait
for a lot to park their buses, instead of spending the time
resting?
Sorry, I have no issues of bendy buses in the past. But until
recently more and more problems are surfacing when there are more
buses on the roads, more problems caused by bendy buses are being
highlighted in this forum, and through observations of my daily
commuting in buses and the lastest terrible observation of midnight
bus queues outside Woodlands depot, I would think that bendy buses
are already not suitable for Singapore public bus operations.
They can have their advantages, but the problems they created
for SMRTB, especially for the past years is more than its
advantages it can give. I think one of the forum mates here have
mentioned before, both models have their pros and cons, but given
to the change to the operating environment, increasing population
and more buses in future, LTA and bus companies have to choose the
better of the worse.
Another name labeling. For a person like you who is a racist in one
of the earlier threads, look at yourself before labeling
others.
Did I say faster? Don't twist my words if you can't read properly.
I said "more or less the same", not "faster".
Are you sure? I come across instances where BCs have to yell at the
commuters to move to the rear of the bendy bus.
Then tell me why Chua Chu Kang feeders do not have problems coping
with the crowd and at the same time not creating long queues during
SBS era when they were using the Volvo Olympian NACs?
Same goes to you bitching about double deckers here which is not
even a fact.
Don't be a typical bendy bus bitcher. Both have disadvantages
and advantages. So lets shuddup about this matter and let LTA/SMRT
decide.
