That's great! I always take this svc every month. Actually they should had introduce this long ago because TPY is one of the elderly estate. At least now they got WAB svc/low floor bus.
The problem is, after sometimes pple would complain about the seats.. -
Ok got error in my post as quoted here.Originally posted by Scania:Morning chaos
Towards Braddell.
Usually, the following would be the case:
3828K, 6:53am at My house bus stop
Loading, quite full, but still got space for others to board
272H 6:57am
Loading around the same as 3828K
Before 26 crossover got removed,
6:51am 3828K
6:54am 266B
6:57am 272H
With not so packed loading.
Today,
8083J (replacing 3828K), 6:55am still there at my house bus stop
Loading, full, competely packed, no space to move in.
Bus left only after next bus 8085D (replacing 272H) arrived at the bus stop at 6:57am.
Loading for 8085D, full seating + some standees, quite empty.
8083J is replacing 426G today, I think 3828K's slot overtook this bus. -

There are elderly seats in the Scania buses behind the front wheel.

As a passenger, I don't really like the new single decker buses. Horrid! I must say about its interior. So dull! When the bus goes on the bumpy road such as strips, the poles would rattle...wtf! The bus vibrates too!
As for the bodywork wise, it looks very cheap to me. Asian bodyworks? OMG!
ComfortDelgro has many companies under its control overseas. And how could they afford to shame their leading company to the rest of the world? I travel overseas and even the bodyworks of the buses looks better than SG buses. You call this professional? We pay and pay for our bus rides, and they increase and increase, yet they don't give us comfortable rides, WTF! Singapore Transport look so 2nd world. How can SG be called a 1st world country? Damn it! They still dare to order 500 units. Seriously I don't like Scanias, the new and old scanias are vibrating, what's the diff? At least Volvo buses are more reliable. I enjoy Mercz more.
Shame on you SBST! -

What's there to be afraid of? I am speaking the truth, and the transport company should hear this!Originally posted by carbikebus:You're not afraid of being pawned here ah? -
Thats typical of SG commuters . Bus old , they complain difficult to climb . Bus new easy to board , they complain no seats , blah blah .Originally posted by carbikebus:You're not afraid of being pawned here ah?

222 is a guinea pig ..i see the DDs like so useless..all the ppl stay downstairs.. NACs from 32 should go to 222
jus keep 2 DDs to have some beauty in the fleet then the remaining 4 DDs become sp, the 2 single-decks from 5 that are out go to 32...along with SBS583K and SBS1988U
238 has one of the best road conditions..although lor 8's steep hump + bridge and demand is crazy like 242 and 243...i feel that if BN were to get..291 would be a better choice as 222 big slope down new upp changi rd may not be suitable..i heard theres a KUB in training at tampines today hopefully its NOT for 68 -
But what he say is true lah, the bus rather cheapo, so new yet rattle.Originally posted by carbikebus:You're not afraid of being pawned here ah? -

You're right in some ways,We're still long way to go to become 1st world class tpt.For Asia yes.Originally posted by Winston Khong:What's there to be afraid of? I am speaking the truth, and the transport company should hear this!
Actually i was hoping that they would fitted famous body like Wright,Custom Coaches,Berkhof,Caetano,ELC.From my POV HK buses are more classier than us,no offense though -
moving away from beauty world shopping centre tt day..
