Hope so, because they have powerful gearboxes ,???hp...I also wished SMRT could extend the L113s too...cui, 220bhp.

If you think this is flame war, then there will be no active sensible discussion, this should not even be called a forum. Was it?

Additional cost you foot the bill then maybe govt inplement. And i do not think you appreciate the value of having WAB services, or are you discriminating those who are having disabilities by not having them take the same public transport as us?

Given that he has mentioned that this is not a flame war, what makes you think it is?

SBS8501U SG

Did I say it is? :3 I only typed out IN CASE someone think it IS~~

Aiyo please lah horh~ If Govt. no buy WAB buses, those money can be used on the private buses to cater the needs. It's not that I am discriminating them, but rather, that would help them even more lorh please~

Imagine PIW unable to board a packed bus, he waited for the 2nd bus, yet it's full. Only when it comes the third one, he's able to board. I believe even a PIW don't wanna wait so long?

Please, if you think that way, you're seriously hopeless minded who only think of negative side when there's positive side to think of

I wouldn't say that WAB are bad. Actually it doesn't make a difference with non-WAB, though greatest disadvantage is less seats.

In fact, I pity them~

Unlike somebody, even a boy also want to stomp, and yet reveal the identity Can say that you're simply heartless? And I ain't sure who said that TIB868X is cyberbullying when you're also cyberbullying too?

Since you only know how to pin-point others, let me say what I've seen then? Now could you say whose the boy who ran across the road, on 6/7/2012, around 7pm, to snap SBS8030L on 197 towards Jurong East Int at the bus stop Opposite JE Lib? Yes yes, the guy whom almost kenna buang down by a motorbike~~

Or is that a helping hand to make him famous? Or or make him debut in Ah Boys To Men? Or or or make him popular like the character ; Zhang Yang, whom appear in It Takes Two show on Channel 8???

Yes they aren't that bad, it can carry more passengers. But it's somewhat not really a 100% benefit for PIW during peak hours. Don't say bus, even trains also.

Watching his posts all I can see is that he likes to target others a lot. Especially when people has offended him previously, but he chose to continue pestering. He thinks that he can spoil TIB868X's reputation just like that. But instead, he brought harm to himself. No one likes it when one repeats an incident which is long ago history countless times, it really pisses everyone off.

Because of the number of seats which you find a bit too few?

Then TIB695C, TIB697Y to TIB717Z and TIB719T to TIB723E will extend?

TIB987K SG

Then TIB695C, TIB697Y to TIB717Z and TIB719T to TIB723E will extend?

The rest of them will be deregistered by 2014

how about those PA buses???? I waiting for MAN bus to operate in PA plate

SMB66X SG

how about those PA buses???? I waiting for MAN bus to operate in PA plate

I think PA lances more or less would be covered by SMB rego plate buses instead? :o

PA buses lifespans are dependent on the COE... they might last for 20 years, makes no sense to scrap them in the midst of the 10 year COE lifespan... unless they give major headaches lor

A fierce debate?

I cannot believe how you manage say such a statement. One day when you crippled and in wheelchair you see how convenient it is for you to use public transport instead of taxi or car before the introduction of wheelchair accessible buses and services.

If they really wan meet deadline set by LTA for a 100% fleet WAB they should b killing off those O405s already. Explain why are they still around when part of the DAFs and L113s are going off?

Dun say DAF dereg cos if extend 2 yrs cannot meet deadline. If ur claim is that explain whty the 8xx O405s are getting lifespan extension?

Lances are exceptional. Pathetic condition kudos to SMRT technicians.

probably due to maintenance issues. maybe its not so easy for them to get spare parts and not economically viable since they are operating a relatively small fleet.

for O405 case they have nearly 700 of them (incl. bendies) which is probably easier to maintain (see their condition after 15-17 years), and probably easier to get spare parts since they have a relatively close relationship with C&C

SBS899A SG

Exactly. Alr got 8xx O405 getting refurb and lifespan extension still got ppl can say meet WAB deadline.
