Bombardier's LRT SUCKS. In fact, all the LRT's in Singapore
suck... The only trains with coolness in them are the 151, 651 and
751B's... Not even the NEL's Alstom trains are nice at all......
The new CCL's Alstom trains suck as well... They look un-cool and
ugly... ): Looks like I'd rather choose to take buses then. :@
Let's just hope that those C151A's are from KHI or whoever except
Bombardier or Alstom... Their looks suck...
You seem to have not taken the Sengkang/Punggol LRT system, that
system is really nice and efficient, although SBST slowed down the
trains significantly in some portions where there are switches as
compared to when it just opened.
I do believe that the Westinghouse/Bombardier People Mover may
not work in Bukit Panjang due to the nature of the track. ie the
track was badly planned, there are stretches which should be
straight but are weaves in and out (as compared to the roads
parallel to the tracks), up and down (like South View-Keat
Hong-Teck Whye, Bukit Panjang-Senja, Petir-Pending and at Segar).
With so many unnecessary bends, it exerts more force on the single
guiderail in the middle and making the system more prone to
breakdowns. It seems that LTA's misplanning may had partly
contributed to the breakdowns.
