I'd just like to say something here... hope you can reflect upon
it.
SBS9888Y's godsister is a BC for SBS Transit, stationed at SLBP.
She is a JERG standby and so she has driven about every other JERG
service there is (even BNL ones before). She therefore has the
highest exposure to different types of buses (be it B9TL, VO3x,
LO3x, Merc, B10BLE CNG, MK4 PSV Soon Chow, MK4 DM3500 or K230). Her
opinions are what he uses to gauge SLBP buses, why? His godsister
is the one driving!
I remember someone saying on the forum that SBS9888Y should not
have said SLBP buses were crap because he does not work for SLBP.
Let me say, that he gets most of this from his godsister.
Yes I know he generalises, but by taking one bus from every model
there is for his godsister to gauge, it makes up about
almost every model of buses in SLBP. If he chooses to
generalise, it is there for some reason, which of course, you
should get him to clarify. His godsister drives
about any other service every other day, she is exposed to so many
different types of buses, are you trying to say that her opinions
are all supposed to be disclaimed while yours are supposed to be
highlighted in a good light just because she can say every other
bad thing about SLBP buses?
I'm not saying that ALL your opinions about SLBP buses are
supposed to be disregarded too - I respect them since you're
also living in the west. However, as much as AMDEP has good DM CACs
and lousy DM OACs like what you always say, there are also good
buses and bad buses for SLBP. Strangely, I've never heard you say
anything about bad buses for SLBP. Meanwhile, SBS9888Y says (insert
rego) here is bad, you spring into action immediately and condemn
him all you can. Where's the reasoning? If something is bad, it is
bad for a reason. None of us here would say (insert rego) here is
bad because it is bad. ??? There is no logic behind this. Surely
they got to be bad because of reasons like cleanliness, engine
performace etc. And then, where does SBS9888Y get alot of this
opinions from? His godsister! It is good that if you
list out some buses which you dislike under SLBP; it gives us
greater insight to SLBP buses. In fact, if you don't mention
anything, it is assumable that ALL SLBP buses are good; in reality
that isn't the true case. Isn't it?
Have you ever seen me scream in anger when you say an AMDEP bus
is bad? I respect your opinions because I take it
you were a passenger on that bus, and having experienced the ride,
your opinions are top-priority. But, why is that the opposite when
I say that an SLBP bus is bad? Are ALL SLBP buses good? Some yes,
some no. I may have taken one of the bad ones and I say it out now.
Is there any crime then, if I say so? I would have been one of the
passengers on board, and so my opinions are similarly, top
priority? Let me just highlight an example. I took
SBS 3805B on 66 before from JEI to Bukit Batok. My general opinions
of this bus is that it has strong A/C (like many other DM
CACs) but the only thing is it jerks too hard especially when
changing gear. You can see everyone on the bus jolting a little
everytime the bus jerks. So,
let me ask you, how would you respond to this? Similarly, I
highlight the adverse of an example now. I rode onboard SBS 9009T on 97 sometime
ago from JEI to Harbourfront. It was fantasic. Nice acceleration
and cooling A/C. So, what are your comments too? Will you
say that I'm stupid because I say 3805B is bad, and then praise me
for saying 9009T is good?
Different BCs say different things, yes, but all have a common
point when they say so. They give the feedback about this
particular bus because they are the ones behind the wheel. So
please, everytime you hear him say (insert rego) here is lousy,
think about why it is lousy. It has to come from somewhere - the BC
himself/herself. You may say that SBS9888Y's godsister is only
entertaining him with her opinions, but then again, is she so free
to say Bus A is good when its bad, and Bus B bad when its good?
They speak through their feelings and not what they think can
entertain the person who asks them. It makes no sense to lie to
another passenger about the bus because if the bus is bad, not only
is the passenger's comfortness compromised, but also the BC. And
you can imagine how the BC is going to feel after driving the same
lousy bus for 9, 10 hours.
Relax.. I understand your explanation. What I feel that you dunno
me enough. I had mentioned many times that there are
problematic SLBP buses. I dunno whether u know? U guys are
only focused and amazed when i talk about AMDEP buses. I dun care
that guy got wat godsister or wat. Most BC judge buses and drive
buses differently. Especially such standby BC which drive diff
model of buses may nt understand these good enough like hw to drive
them. Just like driving a mercz and K230UB is diff. Maybe I
talk to diff BC? They are mostly who drive Express 502 buses. There
would also be problematic buses. To be frank, most SLBP BC say that
the mech from SLWS are putting less effort on the mercz and more on
Vo2x and LO3x and any other older. As most mercz are scrapping
by next year.
