Bus Go Too Fast

last SG · 2007-02-08T20:19:50+00:00

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)

mystee SG

i rather they drive fast then slow..
nearly die when i was on Bus 105.. think the cyclist is faster than the bus... Evil or Very Mad

hegu SG

i take 171 and i like it when it speeds thru bke and mandai rd.

the only annoying thing is the BEEEEEEEEEP sound, which some drivers ignore cos the road is too clear (esp on mandai rd) Laughing

Actually...

Buses aren't supposed to be travelling abv 60km/hr Laughing

ndmmxiaomayi SG

The slowest I've seen one drive is at 10km/h

The fastest? Only 40km/h Laughing

Man, the driver never exceeds 40km/h

stooper SG

I think it's much safer if he just chiong the yellow/red light if he already at 50km/h. You see this happening on 179 under the PIE bridge heading towards NTU daily. Usually, also just red light for 1 or 2 seconds, the other side cars also haven't start moving.
Imagine you do E-brake with the passengers full to the door! Shocked The passengers would fly through the windscreen!

u want the bus to be slow slow u might as well walk home since it isnt very far…

As for speed...

As long as it does not end up with the bus arriving to the int like 10 mins early, it's ok... But safety comes 1st

QX5216J SG

SBS9818A SG

sec 2 learn physics already meh?

TWS4793 SG

I felt quite weird. In my starting post I said the BC drive fast, now another one of the users said it go slow, so slow until SBS 7300P overtook. There's quite some confusion about how fast SBS 0388H goes.

Off Topic: The 'S' of SBS 0388H fell off.

sBs_boy SG

In the first place, whether a vehicle go fast or slow depends on the driver who is driving it.. NOT the vehicle. Also you mention that the bus you took was fast while another forummate mention that it was slow.. Am i ask you this.. Did the both of you took the same bus at the same day at the same time ? Are they the same driver ? Even if we dont talk about this.. There may be other factors whether the bus go fast or slow.. it will all depends on the road conditions that the particular trip the BC is facing. There is no confusion in the first place at all.

The_Bus_Guide SG

There is no confusion. The answer is simply that a different person was driving the bus. Either that or the situation was ‘too relaxed’ for that moment. It all comes down to the feet that steps on the gas pedal. The more you press, the faster it goes.

TWS4793 SG

Of course it's not the same driver. The bus moving fast incident just happened two days ago, yet the other one mentioned it over a couple of days.

Also, I have the information that BC's are required to regulate their speed to keep up with interchange arrival times. Many a time, it's okay for BC to speed because of time constrains. However, SMRT had actually overlooked the factor. Hence, their buses speed. I hope you also know about this.

The_Bus_Guide SG

If you had known the answer, why did you felt weird and confused in the first place?

manjieass SG

i tot 70km/hr???

choww SG

Fast better than slow Laughing

Volvo Olympian SG
