The sorry state of bendy buses today

Still remember the 17 Dec disruption..How the Habit had to turn out from Novena Church bus stop to keep right to get to Newton Rd..lol

As a commuter I hate bendy.

The Habit bendies were excellent when brand new. Their luxurious interior made the Volvo Olympians of SBS look drab. The situation is reversed now.

Inadequate maintenance has been apparent on other models like Dennis Lance as well....not solely Bendies

Reminds me of the conditions of the Nissan Diesels NAC in the 90s and even most of the johor buses today

Maybe one day all the bendies will catch fire and burn and that is it for the bendies and SMRT motor workshop managers. Even the new buses from SMRT also started to feel jerky and air-con not feel comfort.

SMRT's maintainace is really zzz..

Drop the bendies,

we talk about

OCs,Citaros or even MANs.

The basis of maintaince, at least wash the exterior once in a while. The exteriors of some of these buses area already very dirty, machiam like JB buses, and old buses. =.=

Just compare KUBs and OCs, or SBS Citaros and SMRT Citaros, the difference in their exteriors!

Not to mention the faulty aircons, brake lights/signal lights, EDS.. yea..

SBS are better at their maintaince, their scanias still feels new despite the jerky rides. hahaha

Add one more: the rubber sleeve at the bendy joint has rotted away. There are holes and water coming in when it rains.

One thing good is it helps to sweep the road

Take 190 often?

Once in a while.. why?

carbikebus SG

Take pictures of the affected areas and sent an email to their corps comm,Thats is what i do for the MKI & MKII Bendys..Thats not an excuse even though they did change the seat covers and new EDS.Engine wise SBST still maintain better.This is what they get when the manpower fully utilised to maintain Taxis and Singtel vehicles

Uh yeah, I'm always surprised to see the "supposedly brand-new" MANs come out looking like shit with their yellowish exterior after just 2-3 days out on the roads.

Anyway, if anyone did notice, there's always some black black build-up of dust/stains/whatever dirt is there on the interior panels of those SMRT buses?

Doesn't apply to those refurbed ones since they practically changed all the panels, but at least learn from SBST, which I believe does some scrubbing or something to their buses' AC ducts & interior panels without replacing the whole AC duct/interior panel. Just look at many of the VSOs (9801Y is one the last time I sat), haven't changed interior panels but at least the stains of dust and water are rubbed away.

then you can see the problem with the bendy joint there.

Would you just STFU on Citaro G and MAN bendies???

There will be no more bendies in future. No more of these stupid road hoggers that jam roads and bus facilities in future.

Other than SMRT's poor way of maintenance, I think that it also shows that bendy buses are very difficult to maintain as compare to other kinds of buses. It is time that SMRT to switch to double deckers.

Continue to dream about it, My friend. Whether or not SMRT sticks to bendies is at their discretion, Not yours.

SMRT will buy more Citaros and Citaro Gs!!!

TIB783G SG

SMRT will buy more Citaros and Citaro Gs!!!

Ok, You want citaro G right? You have to wait and also have to see if SMRT wants it, It isn't your decision to begin with.

Decisions are being made. LTA is banning them. SMRT is also fed up with them. Just look at the kind of maintainance, SMRT won't want to keep them for long. Good riddance that there is no more bendies in future.

SMB228X SG
