why SMRT bus always got into accident?
-
The Merc O405 is the best example. Its the most "true" citybus i've ever seen, after the B9TL(tho it looks kinda like MS coaches). SMRT's O405 are really true citybuses. Always see the CAC/OAC Merc on 922, stop opp Fajar shopping. It then accelerates very quickly. SBST O405 also not bad, except for its jerking "slip-gear" gearbox.Originally posted by carbikebus:Simple reasons...
Tight schedules eg S25 Bedok to Eunos Link about 22mins/S854 about 16 mins
SMRT buses acceleration is superb due to low profile tyres and true citybus features.Almost all the SL in the fleet runner so other have to followsuit.But nowadays it's a bit rare to see SL chiong like mad due to IBOS(SBST AVMS,Tracking system),But certain services we do see SL chiong.
SMRT buses tend to speed. Last time took cameo bus TIB1182J on 960 with bus almost fully packed and BC still kinda chiong. A black car then suddenly stop infront of us. BC brake super hard, lucky nothing happen, if not the black car would have ended up like the lorry.

I think those standing esp might be flunked out from the bus as well

Exactly, even the passengers find it hard to stand up when the BC brakes very hard, let alone a hard crash.Originally posted by sbst275:I think those standing esp might be flunked out from the bus as well

not if you hold on the to bars.Originally posted by sbst275:I think those standing esp might be flunked out from the bus as well -
Seriously no useOriginally posted by XTransbus:not if you hold on the to bars. -
No use. I tell u, one person had held onto the bars, but the BC (TIB1182J) braked so hard that he was pushed forward and was pushed against the group of people infront, since it was very packed at that time.Originally posted by XTransbus:not if you hold on the to bars. -
it reduces the chances of the passenger to be flung foward. Even if BC brake hard, you hold on to the bars, you might be thrown foward but not as serious as you're not holding them; you can fall and roll foward or maybe thrown against the windshield .

You are late 2 hours, nothing happen.
You don't drive the whole day, nothing happen.
You early 5 minutes, you get fined $20. yea, just why buses often stop at the arriving area to wait for their time -
Ought to teach the drivers better driving skills.

FCUK! That's very dangerous!Originally posted by SBS1985C:another example. SBS 1985 C S 30.

FLung onto the floor and slided. What if teh floor or the front got sharp edges? The girl is bound to be injured badly. Also, given that the bus braked suddenly, any car behind it might have no chance to avoid the bus and smashed into it. FCUK dangerous! At least SMRT BC does ??? driving, cant rmember the word, the word means driving with caution. I realise that some SMRT BCs slow down at traffic lights even tho its full green, so that in case it changes to orange then red, the BC would have time to stop SAFELY.
Btw is the girl chio bu? If its chio bu, the BC caused the chio bu to be hurt, all boys go HUM TUM him!
