The fleet standards?
HAHA
I'll be objective.
SBST moves a lot faster
than SMRT despite the huge fleet size when it comes to refurbishing
and upgrades and what-nots.
And I duly appreciate that and I didn't complain about SBST
requesting for fee hikes.
SMRT? They claimed that
they have been "more efficient". And then they asked for fee
hike.
At the very least, if no
refurbishment or new buses, can't they just clean the bus
interior?
If you still think SMRT
fleet has "improved", I suggest that you climb out of the well and
take SBST buses.
Even the old MKIII puts
many SMRT's newer buses to shame. For one thing, at least the
MKIIIs don't stink as much!
When the 0405s had their stinky seats changed, I thought the
problem would go away.
It didn't.
Why?
Because nobody cleaned the interior!
Who cares about "new buses", or "better buses" when the buses
are dirty?
PS: Non-bus fans also have no qualms about SBST's fee hike.
Because the change in fleet has been really visible.
I dont deny that SMRT's fleet has improved. But look at the
visibility side. Did SBST have to advertise on any of their buses
to get their point through? Nope. They simply rolled the K230UB and
Citaro out quietly 10 by 10. And people noticed the change and
appreciate that.
Ok, I agree with that, SBST moves in a way SMRT doesn't, Due to
their fleet differences, This I'll keep quiet.
More efficient? How 'efficient' you want it to be? Can I ask
you?
Fine. The depot staff might not be bothered in cleaning up the
buses, Fine, I'll accept that. But to me they don't deploy thrashy
buses like they did 1-2 years ago.
Don't worry, I do take SBST buses all along, Since I live in
Boon Lay.
