I hope SMRT can take this chance now to switch over to double
deckers and ditch bendies for good. Ignore those childish kids who
only think of their own fantasies.
They are not practical anymore and will not be in future. Look
at the mess they make along bus stops, bus lanes, bus interchanges
and bus depots. Look at the frustrations made to the BCs
themselves, other buses and BCs, other passengers who got delayed
by the jams and queues caused by them and other road
users. Look at the time wasted for other buses and passengers
just to wait for them to clear the bus stop/berth, change lanes,
park, etc. Look at the land space they take up in bus interchanges
and depots where bus companies can park more buses for better
frequncies and more bus services without taking up extra expensive
and scarce area. 
Some services can't even boost their capacity just because they
cannot use bendies for the route, due to plying along busy roads in
CBD or busy bus stops and not enough place in depots and
interchanges to park these buses.
SMRT bus services should buck up from now onwards and get rid of
the old problems. Better manage their bus management and ditch
bendies for good and use just single and double deckers to
make their operations easier and lower their cost of operations. In
this way, they can have less problems with parking spaces, jams and
queues in interchanges and boost the number of buses to park in
depots and interchanges to increase frequencies of their current
bus services and introduce a few more service with more 12m single
and double deckers. 
If SMRT don't have any bendies for now, they can easily have
1000 12 m buses which can help them to increase their loading
capacities with better frequencies and introduce 1 to 2 bus
services for Sembawang already. SMRT, please look into the future
and don't repeat the mistake made in the past.
Bendies are important on certain circumstances, just that we
don't realise. Totally biased for you to think of removing them at
once.
