no display name SG The government will pump in S$1.1 billion to ramp up bus capacity and improve service levels.For a start, the government will provide funding for 550 buses, from this year till 2016. At the same time, bus operators will also inject another 250 buses.The 800 buses will mean a 20 per cent increase in capacity by 2016. The added capacity is expected to improve bus frequencies, reduce crowding and waiting times. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1183611/1/.html

Gus.chong SG 550 MORE CITAROS??I want 200 Scania K310UDs, 250 Citaros (for SMRT only), and 100 Volvo B5Ls.
sbst275 SG Feeders can still use SD, for a no are pretty short distLong dist rt should look into DD deployment as far as possible. Then maybe we can look at 12 mins PM peak freq, reduce the no of buses... Eventually can see more direct bus svs in CBD area?All it takes is just getting the puzzle right
sbst275 SG The prob now is making transfer as it's difficult to do routing rationalisation at the current climate.Transfer between trunk - trunk for no reason is just eating up capacity esp during peak hrs.
SBS8533C SG SMRT needs more bendies like this SMRT can also prefer to buy the MB O530G Citaro bendies besides this model.. http://busglobe.com/picture/1843
watson374 SG I agree we should have more DDs.Actually, for some very heavily-used feeders, use bendies.And why not go for the 14.5m Scanias?
Gus.chong SG SMRT can also prefer to buy the MB O530G Citaro bendies besides this model.. http://busglobe.com/picture/1843I hope SMRT will really do so. Mercedes-Benz Citaro G are nice along with Mercedes-Benz Citaro.
sbst275 SG I agree we should have more DDs.Actually, for some very heavily-used feeders, use bendies.And why not go for the 14.5m Scanias? but our BI only designed for 12m buses alrdy.Superlong bus I guess tells you why...
Gus.chong SG Actually, for some very heavily-used feeders, use bendies.And why not go for the 14.5m Scanias?Scania K310UB is one of the 14.5m Scanias that I want.
SBS8533C SG I hope SMRT will really do so. Mercedes-Benz Citaro G are nice along with Mercedes-Benz Citaro. Agreed.. Because once the box bendies retired and if SMRT does not intend to buy the new MB O530G Citaro bendies to replace them, the bendies would might as well become a history. At least a mix of O530 & O530G bendies is a good and to complement the Citaro family in SMRT.
SBS 1000U SG Please no more bendies. More buses on the roads means longer queues of buses, don't use bendies to make things worst.SMRT bus, please get double deckers instead. Hope more Citaros , MAN Lioncity and Alexander Dennis E500 for SBST.Hope all these 800 buses will be double deckers instead.
C151 039/040 SG Hope they should bring more Scania OmniCity, Volvo B5L, Volvo B9TL, Citaro, MAN ND243F/East Lancs Kinetec, MAN NL323F and Wright Gemini 2.And also New Bus for London.
