so u can compare SIN n HK how different on the amount and
different kind model....
also becuz hk the road environment so v can introduce to much
full size SDs , according this List u can c v got alot of medium
Size SDs
but honestly , @ that that two times i went to SIN
i've got a conclusion
'' SINGAPORE bus servive still get a improvement interspace
''
but i'm not deprecate on these things , just a opinion
how come the buses always full(1)? still using
the SDs with a not high frequency
how come intorduce The K230UB this cheap n
third-rate(2) chassis be the main fleet , the last platoon
of the seat is too high (totally 4-5 stepsfrom the exit) The best
of a city bus chassis is the SLF bus
how come the name call express service just via so little
highway oe expressway ? yr mane is express , but via too much
city/town area , not really express (in my opinion , i've take 502
n 518 as before)
the fast foward svc is the most stupid
measure(3)
The regular departure after a little bit traffic jam it might be
hit the fast foward departure , so stupid @@
the buses of SBS exterior some part were broke and
sunken still in svc(4) also the engine sound is noisy ,
especially the O405 and VO2X
the interior of the buses can using the warmer light ,
SBS / SMRT can operate some point to point Expressway Bus
service
it's really attractive for the Office guy @ am/pm peak hr.s
the Expressway Bus service got a long history in HK
already(5)
1) I agree, sometimes SBST have to really improve in the
intervals and frequency of the trips, even at my area have 3 bus
services starting from the interchange and goes to the same bus
stop where I alight together(the route to my house area is the
same), I ever tried on Townlink 293, I have to wait for 10-15
minutes for the bus to arrive, worst, it came a single decker, E4
Batch 2 K230UB.
2)If K230s are cheap and third-rate, why did SBST and KMB bought
them in the first place?
3)FastForward service does improve the service itself. Try
taking FastForward 30e next time you come to Singapore. It plies
Harbourfront to Bedok. The trip can take you about less than 1hour
then the normal svc 30 1+hour.
4)I understand that, it's the cause of the bus depot if they wan
be hardworking anot. Somehow BNDEP and SLBP(Bedok Nth and Soon Lee
bus depot respectively) got a
by bus
fans here because of bus mantaining and Leyland Olympians -_-"
5) Try taking some Premium services in Singapore. It serves the
AM peak with only single trips. Although it cannot beat MRTs, at
least you can travel without having to squeeze and squeeze on the
bus. But the trip itself can go as high as two trips of MRT.
Ranging from $3~$5 from SBST Premium bus services to SMRT to
private ones. From what I observe is that sometimes the Premium Bus
Services doesn't really help in the bus trips from what I saw and
say from two trips of Premium 553 which serves my house.
