Good one lol

Finally somebody writes the truth.
-
I disagree. Well at least the bus service i ride dosent operates this way..
-
Huh? I don't understand leh
-
Simply someone complained abt SBS buses being old (This is true as they on their wish went on to extend MK2 and CRBs lifespan though they've promised to retire them once they've reached the stat lifespan)Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:Huh? I don't understand leh
Then it talked abt Sv 74 and 151 NAC fleet... The writer said that it could be because ppl paying concession fare, so SBS to save cost go to deploy NAC buses for this 2 sv
Another is regards to why buses often never stop at the bus stop, either brunching or packed buses -
rough translation
1. Bus Captain woes. never see the passengers safety. likes to accelerate
hard
2. SBS buses aircon not cold, unlike SMRT, which is. not cold bus also pay AC fare
3. morning passengers many, but very few aircon buses, but afternoon many aircon buses. maybe is because morning more students, paying aircon bus pass, so deploy non-aircon bus to save $. 74 and 151 obvious example
4. SBS many old bus with uncomfortable seats
5. bus driver sometime drive slow slow.. half journey can drag to one hour, on the other hand, sometimes drive so fast like "ghost is chasing it"
6. bus arrive at bus stop, dont want to stop. because its full (forgiveable) or because in front have 2 or 3 buses. lazy to wait. angry until can die
this things many people complain and complain, but no use. when want to increase fares, all sorts of reasons come out -
I only agreed on the 1st and second paragraph only,It's time they buy a few units of Volvo B9L & Scania K94UB 230 and maybe a few Korean zero step single deckers as well,Third ones i strongly disagreed,I mean it's the way.Originally posted by sbst275:Simply someone complained abt SBS buses being old (This is true as they on their wish went on to extend MK2 and CRBs lifespan though they've promised to retire them once they've reached the stat lifespan)

everyone is entitled to their opinions.

Yeah! LOL. Especially WA Scanias. Truthfully, I think the only SMRT buses which have strong A/Cs are the Habits and Volgren Bendies.Originally posted by sbst275:Always end up water dripping
For SBST, especiall ythose with Sutrak A/Cs, which include the newest B10TL, B9TL, and many more (and also some CACs). The Leyland's Nippondenso are also strong if you sit on the lower deck. -
Go take the Habits, and you will get it. Btw SMRT buses suffer from air-con outlets dripping of water, its just so irritating. When you just fell asleep, a droplet of cold water can just wake you up instantly!Originally posted by XTransbus:sbs aircon conder than SMRT wad. Never in my life i took a SMRT bus which fogged my glasses when i get off.
Btw the Konvecta or Hispacold air-cons are better than the Sutraks ones. -
yeah man.. habits are damn cold especially those newer ones (seat handles which are diff)..Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Go take the Habits, and you will get it.

Volvo B9TLs and B10TLs operated by SBS Transit have Nippondenso aircon units, not Sutraks.Originally posted by stooper:For SBST, especiall ythose with Sutrak A/Cs, which include the newest B10TL, B9TL, and many more (and also some CACs).
