Thats a very subjective matter. Must depend on the seriousness
of the faults, has it affected other things (no matter what I
dunwan to dida-apa solve the fault then let go without realising
that there're other faults undetected.) the spares availability,
the manpower status, whether there're more urgent buses that awaits
attention, many factors contributes.
Sad to say as technical personnels in the industries, we all know
that when vehicles all kept in storage for long periods, workshop
will suffer once the vehicle comes on the roads. The rubbers will
start to crack and things will start to leak or break. This was
also one of those harsh factors that hit the SAF preservation
vehicles badly. There is no way to eliminate this problem other
than to apply preservatives which can only slow down the decay not
eliminate. Before the buses come out after so long, we all have
already predicted that the first 6 months will be hell for us. On
top of that, we also have many other buses to take care of. So my
workshop guys are really putting in extra efforts to repair the
buses. But the faults always have their way to catch us unaware. So
this becomes a cat and mouse game. While we chase after the faults
with our every possible effort, we nail the fault with our claws
and the next mouse will pop out of the next hole. Until we finally
manage to solve all problems then the faults will start to slow
down.
However, the best part despite the hardships we're facing, you all
have been showering your concerns positively on our efforts which
acts as an extra boost to our morales. My guys though they don't
know how to express, were smiling and happy to know that their
efforts are not in vain.
Now everytime you see a CNG bus running on the road, bears an
invisible word painted with our hearts that reads: "Thank you
all!"
