Kids. I dun wish to feed the trolls, but there's some facts that
has to be mentioned.
1) JB MKIII are due for retirement. like it or not, Citaro are
the replacement buses. They've to appear somewhere.
3) Airport Svs uses KUBs for a reason. As again, MKIII are due
for retirement.
4) 147 can still live with KUBs, in fact most of the time
they're well dispatched to the slightly lower demand trips.
5 & 6) KUBs and typical SD's licensed capacity is abt 80. No
difference. Simi squeeze more people?
I'd rather SBS dispatch more buses to Svs like 72, 74
The post was in response to Mr Mark Chua who so called "have
assess" to SBST senior management.
sbst275,
1. Citaros are the replacement buses but SBST can actually use the
JB MK IIIs for sv16 1st and later redeploy striders/DM3500s for
sv16 till the striders/DM3500s retire wic will then have other
types of buses available
3. of course i know scanias are used for a reason but the capacity
of sv36 cannot meet the demand
4. Would you like to take KUBs in the evenings where they are
deployed twds HG CTRL and most cannot board. KUBs on 147 deployment
schedule is not fixed
5.6 Fren , a batch 1/2 scania can squeeze more standing pax than
EEV which is why more batch 2 scanias are on sv36 during peak and
weekends...
No1 is demanding anything as mentioned coz it is a fact, as
mentioned t5he post was in reference to Mr Mark Chua claiming to
know Senior mgt in SBST,PERIOD
For the above written by me it is 1st hand experience as a user of
the services, so dun doubt me & you are right to say people
from SBST are monitoring this forum
SBS5010P dun b a smart aleck & question whether of i am
frequent user of a particular service, can i ask whether you have
taken other area buses and know of the loading factor before you
stop spouting illogical requests?!
