Bus Go Too Fast

look on the bad side, the BC had a VERY FULL Bladder. i've been on this situations before... (3x on sv 61 and 1x on sv 51)

TWS4793 SG

Today I was on SBS 0388H serving on Service 22. I was carrying quite a lot of things: a school bag, a sling bag to put my file, a water bottle and also I was carrying my buy back lunch. Then at the T-junction outside the petrol station and a school in Tampines, the traffic light turned red. The bus suddenly slowed down so fast that I almost fell (again). Wow! It overshot the crossing by just a few metres.

I also remember getting onto a Townlink 293 bus SBS 0711H, which I mentioned earlier. The BC was so fast that I nearly fell. And that happened for two consecutive days and at the same time of the day.

SMRT could be even worse. Their BC speed so fast. Just recently I took TIB 0580A on Service 67. The BC can just speed even without knowing that I almost fell. I also remember one, also on Service 67. The BC could speed even at sharp turns, like the one outside Bedok Reservior and a condominium.

What happened to both bus companies? SBS Transit promised to keep their buses below 60km/h, yet we got fast buses (good for some of you). SMRT is worse, nearly every BC speed. And probably they don't know I'm carrying very heavy things. Somemore I am exhausted carrying heavy things, yet they give us trouble (may not really be).

Anyone can explain why?

Next time you carry so many things then try to get a seat if not just grip on to the stanchion tighter!

Also, next time you may be in a rush to go somewhere from your school and everyday the BC chiong but that day the BC drive very slow, you would complain again and by that time, you would realize how fortunate it was to get a chiongster BC, then you will start to appreciate.

Service 22 got double deck… next time take the double deck one… so you can sit down and not fall off again…

C'mon lar, even if it was doing 30km/h and it jam braked, you'll still fly and hit the windscreen. Laughing

Bus fast complain. Bus slow also complain. When the bus is at regular speed I expect to see a complaint saying either "bus move too slow" or "bus move too fast".

This country is really raising a generation of complain kings and queens. Evil or Very Mad

Kenashi SG

Then if like fast and slow got complain, the companies would've a big headache. Not sure how to instruct the BCs to drive at a fast speed.

Actually fast is good, as long as no accidents occur because of its speed, then I think it will be OK. For his situation, I think he is refering to the BC that drive fast and stop suddenly and because of that, he almost fell down or just fell down.

For me, the faster the better, because time is more precious than money.

I like drivers who accelerates upon seeing the green light turning amber, and chiong past the junction before the light turns red.

I hate drivers who delibrately slows down at a traffic junction and stops just as the light turns red.

I condemn drivers who drives at more than 50km/h and suddenly brake when the light turns red. For goodness sake, if you're above 50km/h, just chiong past the traffic light! Twisted Evil

busmanic SG

if u ever go to hk, take KMB sv 968 (preferred choice: Enviro 500) and see if this sv 22 BC is really going too fast (but i like it fast Razz ) Laughing

sBs_boy SG

Then again, would you like a bus who does E brake and stop for the red light ? Or a bus who beat the red light and increase the chances of it getting into an accident ? Which one do you prefer ?

service_238 SG

Try being BOTH a passenger and a driver and you will know how fast the vehicle is moving.

As a driver you may feel you are not driving that fast at 50km/h because you are in control of the vehicle

As a passenger you may feel even at 50km/h the driver seems to be driving at 60km/h because you do not have control of the vehicle.

It applies to any vehicle, also known as apparent speed. Like how you learn apparent depth in your physics. Laughing
