Jurong East Bus Int moving on Sat

elindra SG

The breakdowns of Thursday and Saturday left several trains damaged and in need of repair. So now we have fewer trains to serve the same number of passengers.

On top of that, the train drivers have been ordered to travel at a slower pace.

Frankly speaking, I wouldn't be surprised if there's another massive breakdown this evening. Especially considering that they used freakin' cable ties to fix the damaged third rail.

I did be more partial if they used industrial strength duct tape

Cable ties -_-" That's what Mustafa use to keep their bags shut

sbst275 SG

14 trains rosak, meaning as good as the fleet size bef the PRC trains arrived.

I begin to suspect those simi vibration absorbers or whatever gave the problems, same goes to how fast the train approaches the bends inside the CBD ie from Newton to Orchard.

sbst275 SG

I think they should do away with MRT – feeder model.

SBS2601D SG

Isn't it ironic that while SMRT has been more aggresive than SBST in advertising itself, its PR in recent weeks have been epic fail?

Bus losing its way for 2 hrs and bus crashing into car later, SBST has been left off the hook in the public eye.

sbst275 SG

Lol

2601, u remember that O305 reversing langa 15 yrs ago?

Woah, MRT’s last big rosak and big bus langa also same time Shocked

sbst275 SG

Ytd saw the SBS bus got map got the bridging buses.

I think scared some go holland. ESP those doing East leg for Paya Lebar, Aljunied, Kallang leg.

I dunno how the SBS got from Tampines and Simei.

LOTUSfairy SG

Zzz the trains today damn packed

And the trains were CRAWLING and the driver kept breaking and stopping

WTF man

i am glad today i am on leave..(though my block water supply temporarily cut due to water tank maintence)...i can roll back to zzz...nice weather...

elindra SG

It's not only the MRT and the Bus but the EPIC fail publicity like the msg to the SMRT cab drivers and also the Twitter Page and worse of all they pissed Mediacrap off

Talk about thing to offend if you don't want bad publicity

SBS2601D SG

I am glad I don't rely on SMRT at all.

275> No I don't. I only can remember 3625D crashing into the rear of another bus killing someone years ago at AMK.

sbst275 SG

Dunno SBS EWL side.

The SMRT NSL side bus go holland. Yew Tee to Kranji used longer rt, ended up at wrong JUE pick up pt.

Fail, SMRT still thought the JUE Int haven’t shift yet, ended up shifted to Sv 99 bus stop. Some SL drive to EB pick up pt

Yeah that one at Town Ctr

Reliability is still the best publicity.

While SBST still can improve, its miles ahead of SMRT and so when sh*t happens, nobody bawls for its CEO to step down.

Its not like its MRT has never broken down....everyone just made some noise 5-6 years ago when something like that happened and moved on from there.

sbst275 SG

Even the bus I was onboard, holland from Admiralty and SBW, SBW and YIS, ironically they’re straight plying journey!

SBS2601D SG

Yeah that one at Town Ctr

More details?

I don't recall.

Last night was heavy rain up north...along the way, motorbike skidded in the rain. Luckily didn't appear too serious.

Then on the highway, there was another pile-up.

sbst275 SG

That fateful night that 133 bus was reversing out of the Int. Dunno what happened the bus reversed all the way to the MRT stn and crashed.

Lucky no car involved, no one died.

the Bear SG

just packed out the PS2 and the rest of the PS1 games off.. giving them all to my folks' maid to be packed to her children...

the PS2 discs are still somewhere in the room.. i told her delay sending those to long after i find them because she can then use those games as a lever to make them study harder, and get good results then she'll send the discs back to them...

and while digging up the old PS1 games, i realised i have loads of booze stashed away

sbst275 SG

Any upnorth highway jam is can mati one. For at least 10km

SBS2601D SG

Last night toll jam was epic.

Of the 100+km spent on highway, 2/3 of it was jammed.

They set up extra booths, but its for touch-n-go which nobody uses.

sbst275 SG

Who at upnorth would use touch n go unless you ever went to Singapore as the border PLUS booth only accepts card

fudgester SG

Take it from this engineer - even duct tape would be at best a temporary solution.

The only solutions that I can consider to be sufficiently permanent would be either bolting or welding.

It wouldn't kill SMRT to get some Banglas down there with oxyacetylene torches or hand drills with some bolts and nuts.

In this case, cable ties can kill. Literally.
