carbikebus SG In my POV,They put the highest priority on their train fleets/Staff only.Practically buses are nothing to them
muziq bus SG 966 services quite a few operating the system already...Tib 499.... Probably due to the few amount of bus stops...as i mentioned b4, some of da WDL feeders too has been operating it already..
sBs_boy SG From what i know, itz either NOT a perm on 966 or.. The system on that particular bus is still NOT ready for the trial yet....
gorby107 SG TIB 444K on Sv 857 has also started the system. The thing changed when leaves the previous bus stop for a few metres like somehow the VLS works
muziq bus SG my mistake on TIB 800R... i took it and saw that the speaker facing the passengers have not been removed...
carbikebus SG I think it is cool to have them on board,Imagine if the system are working fine then it would be useful for those who are unsure where to alight.
muziq bus SG SMRT audio thingy Saw it again on TIB 613 P (1o6 cameo) It is still in operation... The driver puts on this some sort of an earphone/speaker (like the ones used by telephone operators) around his neck and speaks into it.....the wire from the earphone speaker is connected to the loudspeaker... The driver even put it into good use by demanding passengers at the back to move further into the rear via the speaker... Today (7/10) After the driver announce the name of Clementi station in English, he then announced it in Chinese.. But the driver still calls Buona Vista Station as Ghim Moh though...
iamgoondu SG I saw it once on 970, however I have not heard anything. I find it kind of stuipd if driver is required to say aloud the bus stop name. Whether auto or manual, I will probably find the 'sound' more of a nuisance. I still feel the 'display' thingy something stupid. It may be slightly useful if the 'display' thingy tells the next stop, and not when it about approaching the bus-stop, and it started to display.
SBS9889U SG I spotted TIB1033G on Sv190 today with the SMRT Display” Singapore” ting. When someone presses the bell, the display will show” BUS STOPPING” then “SINGAPORE” then “BUS STOPPING” and so on till the door opens, it seems unneeded.
PhyrePhox SG I think they're still deploying the system. Yesterday I took 966, it says Opp Catholic JC, Trellis Towers, Opp Blk ??? at the respective bus stops. Sorry, I was so tired that day, I forgot to take note of the plate no.
SBS9889U SG Doesnt matter as i will be able to track the buses down. The right sequence should be "Catholic JC, Trellis Towers, Aft blk 195, St Andrew's Jnr Sch, Kolam Ayer Ind Est, opp BLK16"and so on.
^tamago^ SG thanks, you are scaring kind ppl away. i dun think the LED can accomodate long texts such as "St Andrew's Junior School". it should display "St Andrew's Sch". and "Opp Catholic JC" is correct.
PhyrePhox SG I told you I was tired I wonder which other routes are having these kind of information now.
SBS9828X SG just wanna know how many of u think this is redundant? lets post the pros and cons PROS -Easy for the handicapped, or those who have difficulty talking -doesnt require someone to go top SC abd ask for help - CONS - plss add on
sinicker SG PROS - CONS costly to me honestly, don't take a bus if u do not know where the bus plies and where u would like to go down.
