SMRT air-con control valves...
-
above ur head one... the circle circle or rectangle one above ur head to control where the aircon wind go one...
notice many of them is either covered by news paper or 2 big holes blowing out cold air only no control at all.......
habits one are hopeleesss..
all these is cause by vandalism or the build quality? -
You cant really say about Habits . That vent is originally designed for heating , supplying warm air into the bus in cold countries .

last time when i was in korea hot air came out from below..?Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:You cant really say about Habits . That vent is originally designed for heating , supplying warm air into the bus in cold countries . -
I don't think whether supply hot air or cold air has anything to do with the vents breaking offOriginally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:You cant really say about Habits . That vent is originally designed for heating , supplying warm air into the bus in cold countries .

aiyo , its different design what .Originally posted by patdog112:last time when i was in korea hot air came out from below..?
Korean use korean design loh , european use their own design . Its quite obvious actually , since when did aircon vents the size of the Habits' vents ? I think that vent is can be used for heating or air conditioning . -
Have you ever ride on a bus in a temperate country? I'm sure you haven't, or else you would know. Heaters are installed on the floor. Why, you ask? Common sense will tell you its because hot air rises. There is no point installing a heater above your head because then, only the ceiling would be warm. The vents above, even in Europe, are for the air-con.Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:aiyo , its different design what .

In Switzerland, the buses have both, a/c on top and heaters below. The heater would be turned on in winter and the air-con in summer. In spring/fall, it is enough to just open the ventilation pods and the few small windows. However, if you're stuck in a jam, it would get very stuffy inside. -

Wrong. The Habit was designed from scratch based on TIBS's requirements in 2000. During the launch of the Habits in 2000 (where the public were given free joyrides on them around the neighbourhood), the TIBS staff mentioned about the dilemna they faced when designing the aircon vents as both the person & the aisle seat would to control the aircon for themselves. Unfortunately, the aircon vents have to be located above the window seat due to design constraints, so they decided to use the unique vent design that regulates the flow of aircon rather than the direction (when it worked).Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:You cant really say about Habits .

However, the plastic wheel mechanism isn't exactly durable and breaks easily leading to all the uncontrollable rectangular holes now (esp with SMRTB's questionable maintenance)... -
The Sydney style of aircon outlets work very well even during summer. Maybe Singapore should adopt this.

i always avoid the seats with broken vanes...some ppl stuff tissue into the vents to block the vent cos they will frozen b4 they reach their destination...
sometimes the (i dunno wat u call tt) allen key lock spoil and the plastic thing tt contains the cold air dislodge and the cold air will escape, then the area became like freezer.
pls lah, the prob is tt some drivers wear jackets in the morning so they dunno how the passengers r suffering the cold at the back. shld design one tt can shut the vent completely, like those in private coaches, or else dunno where to "arrow" the aircon at... -
Look at the amount of vandalisms we have on our buses. No matter what design of vents the issue will still repeat itself due to vandalism.Originally posted by khk:i always avoid the seats with broken vanes...some ppl stuff tissue into the vents to block the vent cos they will frozen b4 they reach their destination...

Unless there is a vandalism proof design, it think we still have to live with it. -
Nice! Aircraft cabin style vents that uniformly distributes the cool air around the interior. Most unfortunately, I highly doubt that would work in Singapore because it would require a higher amount of maintenance with so many small holes that require periodic cleaning. Failing which, the high dust & humidity environment that Singapore's buses operate in will cause the small dust particles to stick together in no time and block the slits, which will in turn lead back to a stuffy bus.Originally posted by Yusry:The Sydney style of aircon outlets work very well even during summer.

Well, SBST's Buses are well, protected agaisnt vandalism.
Well, this teens have 'tangan gatal' in them. I used to play with the bus rear desto. I once put the desto at the cover and then, wah! the placard desto just crash to the floor. The SMRT aircon vents, got hole here and there. The aircon panel just crash on my head and the air is very cool. -
right on brother.was going to say that.Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:You cant really say about Habits . That vent is originally designed for heating , supplying warm air into the bus in cold countries .
actually due to the above fact,i regard habits as pure European bus
after reading surhirman post i regret to inform myself taht heaters do not exist on a habit and thus the habit is a European temperate bus.maybe good in Dubai lols

Are you sure?Originally posted by TIB1186Z:Wrong. The Habit was designed from scratch based on TIBS's requirements in 2000.
London buses have the same design too. -
That's right. The Habit is designed for European low-floor buses. It won the European Bus of the Year award in "I forgot which year". The problem TIBS faced was how to make this bus suitable for Singapore. And how they can match the design to the MB O405G, which is NOT a low floor bus.

Those Habits in SG are quite different from those in Europe . In Europe , instead of hand grips , they have yellow hand straps . Also , look at the rear of the bus (exterior) , it is quite different from SG ones . Interior colours are also choosen by TIBS themselves if im not wrong .
