n i dun see any restriction for DDs, i hav observed the roads in JB and the route dat 170 and 160 in JB does nt hav any height restriction, and the bridges are like 5m above the road???(dats the sign i saw) -
Another thing is, they have to reg w/ JPJ...Originally posted by hiphop2009:weekend can wad....cfm can....

But from the way 950 is operated, it's wasting time have to wait for bus to be packed or the next bus arrives bef departing either checkpoints is wasting timw -

yeah.. i rather avoid 950... the bus always parks too longOriginally posted by sbst275:Normal day demand cannot justify for bendy lah
on the other hand, the borading/alighting points are congested, with weekends having bas kilang/pekerja and tour/excursion buses. how to have bendies? tin tei le
if u look at JB customs re-boarding towards SG, u know why -
Then how come 174 can go through Jurong Road which was also narrow? If 3 cannot use DD, I will have to say it is more to the turning.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:Service 3 cannot use DD's due to some narrow roads in Pasir Ris... -
13, 43, 45, 52, 54, 57, 59, 78 and 109 should be the case where sd is still able to cope with the load without any constrain along the route.Originally posted by bus555:then how about 13, 43, 45, 48, 52, 54, 57, 58, 59, 73, 78, 109,142, 156 and 159
58 maybe not suitable because of S'goon Ave 3. -
Is Depot Road suitable for DD? What about River Valley Road outside Liang Court because there are no DD passing through?
-
river valley road outside liang court - can have DD. The old City Buzz bus does pass by there...Originally posted by droco:Is Depot Road suitable for DD? What about River Valley Road outside Liang Court because there are no DD passing through? -
Service 5 is confirmed unable to use DD's because of narrow roads and sharp bends at Old Tampines Road.
But if the demand calls for it, Service 5 may use DD's but they have to divert to another bigger road instead. -

ask u all ar, buses serving changi airport cannot use DD or bendy is it? in this case, changi airport has height or length restriction?
-
Yes.. Changi Airport height limit is around 3.8 metres. I heard once TIBS had a bendy trial on 858.. apparently it failed...Originally posted by hiphop2009:ask u all ar, buses serving changi airport cannot use DD or bendy is it? in this case, changi airport has height or length restriction? -
Depot Road... even if DDs could pass through, I don't see a need for DDs on 57, 175, and 195Originally posted by droco:Is Depot Road suitable for DD? What about River Valley Road outside Liang Court because there are no DD passing through? -
Do not underestimate the maneuverability of a DD. And don't be surprised to see a DD on sv. 5 in the near future.Originally posted by TWS4793:Service 5 is confirmed unable to use DD's because of narrow roads and sharp bends at Old Tampines Road.

how about service 29 and 175 (today i saw service 29 the bus was domn crouded so do u think 29 should havd double decker? for 175 i dunno maybe due to depot rd )

as far as I heard it was TIB838H?Originally posted by off_service:Yes.. Changi Airport height limit is around 3.8 metres. I heard once TIBS had a bendy trial on 858.. apparently it failed... -
DD maybe unable to ply Old Tampines Rd, Cranwell Rd and/or Netharavon Rd for service 29.Originally posted by bus555:how about service 29 and 175 (today i saw service 29 the bus was domn crouded so do u think 29 should havd double decker? for 175 i dunno maybe due to depot rd ) -
svc 28 turn in tampines like loads of struggles leh... and orchard turn always jam up because buses turn into orchard turn from orchard link, need to use all the lanes (2lanes) and the long queue by cars to enter Ngee Ann City on the right lane causes it to obstruct buses from turning... esp 143 DDs... weekdays sometime can jam quite badly if alot of buses... but the road cant be widened further izzit? i like it when the 143 DDs pass behind Wisma... like as though we go backlane like that... svc 92 BCs when use mark IIs/IIIs always have trouble traveling inside pandan... svc 42 BCs seem to be maneouvering alot but like still manageable for them... actually all single laned area... like pasir panjang... etc... quite troublesome esp fer DDs

I think most of their Double Decker coaches(2 on citybus routes which CityLiner operate it) makes more fools to our buses,Imagine their MAN 18.250 are far more nicer than our stupid looking MKIIIs.Originally posted by hiphop2009:i wan 170 and 160 to use DDs!

You sure? The construction site part is it?Originally posted by droco:13, 43, 45, 52, 54, 57, 59, 78 and 109 should be the case where sd is still able to cope with the load without any constrain along the route.

Well ... there's always a Lor Chuan detour (although that would make those people staying in NYJC mad :lol

Not too sure.Originally posted by TIB1049L:as far as I heard it was TIB838H? -
Btw wat i think is that 26 , 32 , 33 , 35 , 38 , 54 , 101 , 186 should have no problem using DDs , but why they dun have DD? I knew that 26 used to have DDs if i'm not wrong.
-
for 26 maybe the demand is not there considering the short route and it's used mainly for travelling direct from TPY to bedok , or from TPY to geylang or bedok to geylang or else there's not much demand for it.....yes... 186 do have DD before on VO2x.....same thing due to low demand lor....then now use SDOriginally posted by swee_heng:Btw wat i think is that 26 , 32 , 33 , 35 , 38 , 54 , 101 , 186 should have no problem using DDs , but why they dun have DD?
