I see no reason why a full rigid fleet is better than a rigid
fleet with bendies. Bendies really can really solve many problems
and some people just don't see it. This is not a debate but if I
have to respond,I will. The person who created this topic and the
person responding is my friend,we share the same account and he has
said nothing offending since you all are so called "not bendy
haters". So,why did this argument start in the first place?
39 buses in Service 190, out of which 27 are bendies.
Assuming bendies can carry 3/2 times of passengers as compared
to standard rigids,
You probably need 40 rigids leh, that means 52 buses in one
single service!
Buses come in only 5 minutes can be packed already, so what
about rigid buses?
Furthermore, SMRT bendies are the only available public bendies
currently in Singapore. But this is not my point, the point is that
this can reduce manpower and fuel consumption.
You may want to say that SMRT can import bus captains from
China, but the thing is: Who, at the first place, likes to be a bus
captain. They got to work long hours and don't get to rest even
when they are sitting down cos they got to concentrate on driving
the bus. Otherwise, many Singaporeans will have applied for jobs as
a bus captain liao. Don't you agree?
