I guess many problems arose later when Tibs mgmt may not have forseen..New bus stops: The 3rd door would be entirely exposed to the rain.Integrated hubs: The...

It's not like 169 deploy all bendies as full day starters. Only 2 of them are full day starters, Which is 1225U and 1228L - I still feel that the crowd demand for 169 is on a full day basis, Which is the reason why bendies is deployed.

Actually 169's demand can be quite scary. There was once I took 169 on a Friday evening when it is raining, the passengers nearly filled up a whole bus!

i think LTA/MOT should be more flexible enforcing the 10 mins peak frequency..... they really need to look at the situation? for example those feeders leaving interchange in the am peak...for some feeders not much ppl taking from interchange. most ppl are going to work from home.. downroute trips should be planned instead... and for PM peak for feeders, should introduce those short working trips for some services..

and like sv94, PM peak departure from Eunos is 14-17 mins, but there are many downroute that start from airport road which improve the frequency to 5-10 mins.. really see no point in making the pm peak departure from Eunos to below 10 mins.. buses should be added to improve the downroute instead..

Isn't it the peak direction only?

Howling radiators again? Maybe not such a good choice then. Although they kind of seem like a good choice of buses with integral bodywork at a probably more affordable price then Citaros. If the Germans don't mind using them in Berlin, I don't think the Urbinos are that bad.

Howling radiators are creepy! Like Scanias!!!

I wonder if the howling radiators are caused by poor bodywork design since all the custom bodyworks like the CDGE B9TLs and the Gemilang-bodied KUBs all have howling radiators while the newer Wright B9TLs aren't exhibiting any problems as of yet.

Government give 280 million for 800 buses SBS and SMRT must make full use of it, buy Citaros and Citaro G, more comfortable buses improve service standard. Otherwise any extra money must give back government, and service standard drop is SBS and SMRT loss!!

SBS and SMRT should grab this opportunity to buy all new Citaro 3 and Citaro Gs!!!!

SBS9252G SG

SBS won't buy bendies..are you retarded?! SMRT possible but it's not even confirmed yet..and the new bus depot in woodlands may not be the sign that SMRT buying bendies

sbst275 SG

Service standard will drop if we continue on buying more Low floor buses like MAN or Citaro.

10 person standing is full liao... For Express 868

$280m is more or less the amount to buy 550 double decks... Else I'll take it that you're attempting to find chances to take, so tat ppl will find govt money is wasted.. playing politics again right?

mmm...

They would not buy DDs as it is too expensive .

Why? Can't they just buy 150 each of different models?

SBS 9631X SG

Yeah, I think it has to do with the air vents on the CDGEs and KUBs not directing enough air to the radiators & hence not absorbing sufficient air flow, that's why it is howling to suck in more air. I'm no physician, but it's abit of logic.

The vents on the Wrights are indeed larger and further spaced than those on the CDGEs.

I doubt so because there are same buses that do not howl as much and they still have the same design. My guess would be 1) thermostat malfunction or 2) something to do with the radiator fan.

Or overrunning. And yes, if the KUBs hv the problem due to the bodywork, then no more KUDs for s'pore (sad!)

Uh yes, but if like what you said the radiator fan is not working properly, then wouldn't the inability to suck in enough air become a problem if the air vents are not properly aligned in the first place? It's more of like a combination of both these factors to be honest.

a man lion city bus is 65million each..

A DD (like eg. those wrights, costs about 70million each which is much more worth it to buy a MAN lion city bus..

Nonsense. Check your facts. Companies are already bankrupt after buying a few at these prices.

70 million? I strongly believe that even a DD costs much less than a Bugatti Veyron or Pagani Huayra.
