SMRT services that cant use Bendies
-
decrease the frequency first then talk about using bendies.Originally posted by TIB1018B:Service 980 should also introduce 1-2 bendies on weekdays too, ever noticed a packed to door service 980 heading towards Geylang in the evenings

I agree. The current fleet is more than enough to support the loads. Also, service 167 compliments it from Thomson Road onwards.Originally posted by service_238:decrease the frequency first then talk about using bendies. -

Like normal loh , there was once i took it to school 2 years ago and the bus turn in Teck whye lane there and its normalOriginally posted by hiphop2009:wah den how to whole bus turn sia? i wonder... -
oh for gods sake. the turning radius of bendybus is way smaller than a normal 12m. thats why they cna do stunts easily
if a 12m bus cn do it so cn a bendy bus and even easier at tht.
however when it comes to 3 point turns, bendies may need more space to negotiate. however the 975 turn at LCk shd be able to do. the driver will have to engage rear carriage driving a lot and maybe try some 5 times. lols
"stunt"
the term stunt refers in bus lingo to bendybus doing nice turns. the term is coined by Ben
for those who wish to see bendy do stunts. sit bus 61 or bus 800 or bus 300.
Also try taking bus 188 or 963 bendy from HBF int. then u know what is stunt.

Still have la!Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:Yeah , use to see it every morning peak hours.
Its always a Habit these days -
189 had it on the first handover...disappeared, and then reappeared again...Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:Yeah , use to see it every morning peak hours.
365(945) no longer can have it....durr -
975: I don't think that's the reason. remember svc 82 bendies used to make their spectacular u-turns at Punggol Rd End?Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:Service 975 is due to the LCK end , although every morning i see 975 packed sardines , hmm
Service 925 very obvious due to the Kranji Reservior CP
925: Average pax loads are not that high to deserve bendies too. -
then how about Bukit Batok/Panjang fedder services?? is it due to low riders too??
-
There was once Service 920 have Volgren Bendy , I think is TIB1182J in 2004 if im not wrong. I don't think SMRT would want to deploy anymore bendies due to their LRT.Originally posted by bus555:then how about Bukit Batok/Panjang fedder services?? is it due to low riders too??
For Bt Batok Service , i think the old 365 (the now 945) have bendy before , not sure which rego.. -
B'cos of the short bend bef the T-junctions at both ends of Old LCK Rd, even a normal bus(towards LCK Rd End/BPJ) has to wait bef the bend/drive toward the kerb when another bus(towards BPJ/LCK Rd End) wants to turn into Old LCK Rd from/to Lim Chu Kang Rd.Originally posted by SBS3688Y:975: I don't think that's the reason. remember svc 82 bendies used to make their spectacular u-turns at Punggol Rd End?
Take 975 to Sg Gedong Camp during NS.

Believe It or not, 853 did have bendies on it before.Originally posted by bus555:dont forget 77, 852, 853, 925, 926, 927, 950 and 985... -
WHAT THE ****?Originally posted by sBs_boy:Believe It or not, 853 did have bendies on it before.
Seriously, I dont believe it
.
Maybe Events at National Stadium like National Day (But no chance already, since NDP now shift to Marina Bay)? Seriously I dont recall seeing a Bendy 853 when Singapore plays big teams in the Tiger Cup/ASEAN Football C'ships. -
852 is due to the low ridership that's why they can't use bendies
-
Usually not the case , maybe the demand is normal so no need to use bendies for 852.Originally posted by Kheng Peng:852 is due to the low ridership that's why they can't use bendies -
u sure low ridership or not?Originally posted by Kheng Peng:852 is due to the low ridership that's why they can't use bendies -
Service 853 used Bendy Bus during NDP few years ago. However, I'm not sure how many trips it did.Originally posted by Yaimster:WHAT THE ****?

852 needs the speed
-
SMRT Link cannot use bendy
-
Also Bt Batok Int does not has enough spaces for bendiesOriginally posted by Volvo Olympian:Usually not the case , maybe the demand is normal so no need to use bendies for 852.

Svc 853 did have bendies during the 2003 and 2004 National Day (if i didnt remember wrongly) and once during a Weekday in 2005 (seems that it was replacing a breakdown bus..)Originally posted by Yaimster:WHAT THE ****?

Chances are now that all the CSS buses are coming, it is enough to replace any 853 bus that is broken downOriginally posted by sBs_boy:Svc 853 did have bendies during the 2003 and 2004 National Day (if i didnt remember wrongly) and once during a Weekday in 2005 (seems that it was replacing a breakdown bus..)
