SMRT's service 960
-
Hey, do anyone here want the service mentioned to have low-floor bus first, together with 851 and 190 when SMRT decides to have low-floor buses? I find that many people, young and old, takes this service and sometimes they carry alot of heavy items, sometimes even trolleys! I also had a "bad" experience on it, although it is one of my favourite services. I had to carry my computer from bukit panjang to sim lim sqr for fixing. It was very heavy, so i took along a trolley for ease. However, i find that boarding the high-floored habit bendy was very tedious as well as when alighting.
Some people also had some difficulty when carrying heavy items. SMRT should have bought some new low-floor buses by now but they hadn't done so, im so disappointed!!!

okay noted.

OKay.. So... Your point for posting here is ?
-
Erm my point of posting here is to see the people's reaction towards SMRT's action of not buying any low-floor buses and if they do buy low-floor buses, i would like to see whether or not if the people would like to see low-floor buses be deployed on S960, together with S851 and 190

I'm still pleased with the Mercedes-Benz Habits which are deployed for service 960 but even if SMRT decides not to purchase low-floor buses, some BCs will take the initiative to help those elderly carrying bulky items onboard the bus but then again, if you're carrying bulky item(s) & pressed for time then taking a cab might just solve the problem even though it might cost you.

There will be WAB bendies in time to come. We can start discussing this when they roll into SG.

We can discuss the type of low floor bendies that may have a chance to have service here. Come'on, even if it's in the future, there's a human nature called "Specteculate".Originally posted by iveco:There will be WAB bendies in time to come. We can start discussing this when they roll into SG.

Erm SMRT Buses, maybe u dunt noe dis, i had to travel to Sim Lim sqr FIVE times! My stupid com keep having probs. Dats y i bought the trolley. imagine how much u have to pay for 10 trips? each trip cost about $8-10.But anyway, i never sae i dun lyk the habits. I luv them! their air-con so shiok! Luv dem! Especially those with Volgren Merc bendy engines with ZF gearboxs(some habits have different engines, dont u tink?! When they accelerate, i lyk their slightly high pitched engine noise! I estimated that some habits changed to the 4th gear in about 7-9 secs. Do you tink the Volgren bendy and some habits has the most powerful engines?

do u all know, for manual heavy vehicles, the moving off gear can be 2nd or even 3rd gear?
not sure of an auto transmission vehicle

I understand that trucks can have 10 gears.Originally posted by 105090:do u all know, for manual heavy vehicles, the moving off gear can be 2nd or even 3rd gear?

Seen coaches having 6 gears. The reverse gear is next to the 1st gear position. -
Itz different gearbox.. Not Different Engines... All Bendies are Merdz 0405G... different engine sounds are actually the ZF gearbox or the Voith gearbox..Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Erm SMRT Buses, maybe u dunt noe dis, i had to travel to Sim Lim sqr FIVE times!

You mean those like Ashok-Leyland Lynxes? Those are a far cry from the original UK-designed Lynxes. No similarity at all.Originally posted by MuLaFlaga:Buy Blangadesh-styled buses.
At least the AL Viking was based on the Leyland blueprint. Ditto for Tata 1313 <> Merc OF1413. -
U might be shocked to know this. it is a new computer!Originally posted by MuLaFlaga:Time to change your computer. 
only after this stupid trips that we detected that it is the STUPID faulty RAM that causes all this probs. Oh i get it! Maybe because the Volgren's engine is a euro 2 one, therefore it sounds slightly different from the mk1s/2s. i noticed that Volgren bendy and some Habits has a slightly higher engine pitch sound, and i love high pitched engines! True RPMs! 
And not all volgren bendies are Voiths dude! TIB1178Y-TIB1187X has ZF gearboxes(10 units). TIB1188T-TIB1197S including TIB1024H has Voiths(11 units). I like ZFs ones! Anyone here likes the ZF ones, or Voiths? -
Anyone had experiences of having difficulting boarding a high-floored bus? Such as while carrying heavy items or had a trolley along? Please share it here!

anyone know what is the license plate number of the Volgren bendy that is deployed on 960?

This bus seems to be running around on WLDEP Services since it's SP bus.Originally posted by TIB1018B:TIB1179U -
ya. i saw this bus being deployed on 963 before.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:This bus seems to be running around on WLDEP Services since it's SP bus. -
SMRT Buses are tecnically low steps city buses with low profile tyres.SBST Volvo B10Ms are the menace ones.They're far more suitable for interstate services or express services rather than city buses stop n go!
