1) This is the problem they should learn how to solve, not
avoiding it.
2) Orchard,Selegie,and Robinson road are pretty-much jam-prone
during peak hours, With or without bendies things will still stay
the same. Even if there is no bendies what about jams caused by
other cars?
5) Even if it isn't bendy-friendly, They still have to live with
it. It is not every design is suited to fit them.
4) This, Have to depend on frequency. If they are not tight enough
one should do the trick.
I agree with your first point, they should learn to solve it,
but they should not deny that bendies are problematic because of
the space they take everywhere, and they can be replaced by double
deckers and better frequncy single decker fleets. To solve the
problem, replace all bendies with double
deckers and better frequncy single decker fleets.
Point 2 is invalid for all city roads. Do you know that bus
lanes in city areas are not allowed for all vehicles except buses
at all times??? At least without bendies, bus queues will be
shorter, lesser jams and more buses can load and unload passengers
at the same time for all bus lanes and bus stops. And how about bus
interchanges and bus depots without other vehicles??? No matter
what, bendies block and jam and takes up too much space in these
places.
Point 5 is total invalid and lame reason. You are encouraging
inefficient bus system??? If LTA thinks like you, I think our bus
system will be severely screwed and no one will want to take public
transport.
Point 4, if bendy buses are going to park into these new
interchanges, how much space is left for other buses to park???
Those BCs left stranded waiting for a parking lot will get lesser
rest time. If buses are going to move too frequent as well without
enough rest, you will see more buses breakdown, more fires. And
schedules should be planned for as much rest as possible for buses
and BCs, so it makes more logic to make full use of the space to
park as many buses as possible.
