svc 28 turn in tampines like loads of struggles leh… and orchard turn always jam up because buses turn into orchard turn from orchard link, need to use all t...

Did 502 go through Orange Grove Rd in the past ? How was the demand like in the past ?

By allowing BCs to have SD, it gives them the flexibility to choose and go through roads that doesnt allow DDs to do so. This way, when there is a Jam somewhere along the Express Sector, the BC could then make a choice to detour to another route.

And also the Dragons at 9.9m with 3-axles!

stooper SG

In the past, got flexible routing sector meh?

105090 SG

haha... a bit..

170 ultra flexible...
some services passing by woodlands centre road can choose to skip that area if there is traffic jams, the practice till today.

but, some services, flexible routing made it slower..

>> 74e

uses thomson road and PIE. resulted in being faster than normal 74 by 1 minute..

if it die die stick to lornie road.. well!...

also got illegal flexible routing,,

that time last week SMRT 61 uses Anak Bukit Flyover/underpass... this one really overboard Laughing

Actually I think SBS quite dumb. If any of you guys here ever take 27 before, you would know that it is nearly always packed. Especially in the morning, it's even worse. And SBS actually has the service called 27A, which terminates at Tampines. So the service 27A has no height restrictions due to the Changi Airport basement terminal. So why can't SBS use DD for Service 27A? It will definitely help to carry more people. Wink

bus captain are human being also, at times sotong, blur blur. company just afraid DD may crash at changi airport bus terminal, thus making headline again. svc 196 was very good example, crashed at nicoll bridge Shocked . wat if that bus captain doing svc 27A n chong to changi airport Laughing die liao, si liao

All bus services that need to pass by the 3.3M Nicoll Highway bridge near beach road are unable to deploy DD’s. Also, buses with 2D side or some SMRT 2D back ads are usually not able to pass by this bridge.

The BC who drove the 196 LA thought that he was driving Svc 16.. Which explains why the LA crashed onto Nicoll Highway Underpass..

alleggerita SG

Yeah..true accidents do occur and BCs sometimes make mistakes..but I hope SBS think of something great soon..Cuz I take 27 to school everyday..I still have 2 more years at Temasek Poly..If this carries on, I will become sardine at the end of 3 years.. Laughing

How it use the flyover/underpass? If SV 61 use this from Clementi Road, it cant turn into Jalan Jurong Kechil. it willhave to travel till the junction near the fire station..

If it come from Jalan Jurong Kechil, i dun think that there is any way, it can use the flyover/underpass.

105090 SG

yeah dont really make sense.. but i also dont know how it ended at the flyover... only saw it dropping people off at NP..

maybe was 184? it was a habit

SBS9806J SG

I've taken a Merc OAC O.405 and it passed thru a tunnel and flyover. Guess which bus is it? Very obvious. I give u a clue, its from SBST. I've also taken a UK lance that also travelled on a flyover.....and speeds...

SBS1985C SG

Scania N113CRB luver SG

SBST got IKEA shuttle meh? Anyway, wrong ans, guess again. Its a maybe ex SBST MB O.405. OAC . Very Happy

sBs_boy SG

Ikea first gave the contract to SBST before they passed it over to SMRTB.

Scania N113CRB luver SG

Oh okay... Anyway, i actually took the MB Merc OAC, which is a perm museum shuttle bus. I was quite shocked to see a merc in our sch ! Shocked Also, first time taking a public bus that goes into tunnels. Laughing
