sbst services which cannot use DDs
-
I say you crawl out from under the coconut shell, open your eyes wide and see the DDs in other countries with more demanding road conditions than Singapore. Hong Kong is a good example. If the DDs there can make it, I don't see why DDs here can't. Its just a matter of whether they WANT to do it or not.Originally posted by SBS9888Y:it is because there is no sharp turn involved...furthermore Svc 28 has their roads widened if ur askin...and Sv.143 (West Coast outside Teban Gardens) is a straight road...sv.72 doesnt have as many bends as Sv.139...furthermore Sv.72 demand is much higher...Sv.174 demand can get rather high compared to Sv.139...Sv. 139 demand can be coped with SDs...took sv.139 on sat at 6plus and the bus was less than half-filled...wad makes things worse is that the bends at rumah tinggi estate are very narrow and not widened givin ADDs a trouble maneuvering thru... ah hood rd is basically due to too many cars parked along the road any o how... and i think its because of some trees also...the last bend after the pentecostal chruch before u reach balestier road junction is too narrow and many 139 BCs have trouble with alr SDs at the junction...so thats why i think why 139 doesnt have DDs. -
well s'pore has lots of conditions..hk anywhere close to anywhere can have DDs..but this causes alot of accidents etc.Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:I say you crawl out from under the coconut shell, open your eyes wide and see the DDs in other countries with more demanding road conditions than Singapore.

service 3 DD off-service during evening peak? bus is 9342E.

I don't think that being a DD would cause accidents. Even if the bus was SD, the accident might still occur.Originally posted by SBS9888Y:well s'pore has lots of conditions..hk anywhere close to anywhere can have DDs..but this causes alot of accidents etc. -

hmmm...has anyone got pics of 139 on LO3x from last time?Originally posted by sBs_boy:Explain why 8yrs ago, i was still able to ride a LO3x on Svc 139 ? -
I seriously think that DDs should be re-deployed to 186 again , take a look at this http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/viewPost2961.aspx.

Eh I wonder why Service 185 can't used DD? I think it is due to the demund but according to SBS9888Y, Service 185 doesn't want to put DD...
-
think 162 should use DDs, at least a cameo DD. i've seen not even 1 DD cameo on 162 and i thought 2 LO3x were proposed to be on 162 and went to 168? why they can't put other DDs on 162? it has varying demand and this service have frequencies similar to 186....

If you have noticed, none of the SBST services which plys Tiong Bahru Road (Tiong Bahru Plaza, Sv 5, 33, 63, 123, 195) uses DDs....... Is there a height limit in that area?

no. the old service 85 plied that stretchOriginally posted by toll123:If you have noticed, none of the SBST services which plys Tiong Bahru Road (Tiong Bahru Plaza, Sv 5, 33, 63, 123, 195) uses DDs....... Is there a height limit in that area? -
And the road has no height limit, not even any overhead bridge as well. Remember taking SBS2888T through there as well.Originally posted by service_238:no. the old service 85 plied that stretch -
Nope only tight roads but still have to be extra careful..Originally posted by toll123:If you have noticed, none of the SBST services which plys Tiong Bahru Road (Tiong Bahru Plaza, Sv 5, 33, 63, 123, 195) uses DDs....... Is there a height limit in that area? -
Are Premium 538 & Premium 539 using Double Deckers? If they used Double Decker and pile the almost the route same as Service 3 in Pasir Ris area, why can't service 3 used Double Decker, maybe due to lots of turning in Tampines St 21 and 23 somehow...
