the tallest BC in 961(WLDEP side). once got around 3 buses at the bus bay, after the passengers alighted, he just turned out of the queue and drive off. my friend, anyway...he told me that he always speeds as fast as he can so as to avoid jams around Bt Timah/Farrer area. coz if jam, he will b late.
Not really agree with what the BC does. Firstly, BC speeds, not only is he putting his life at risk, it includes that of passengers... should innocent passengers be dragged into accidents just because BC wants to be on time?Secondly, no matter how late he is, BC still must pick up passengers. Unless he contacts OCC and OCC allows him to go into Alighting only mode.
Well... maybe he is just one of the black sheep in SMRT community...

Just to share my experience, there was once I was taking SBS 373A from Bishan to school. 2 things I noticed...
1) BC speeds very fast, keeps almost missing stops (E-brake)
2) This happened when I was about to alight. I pressed the alighting button one street before but the BC may have overlooked it or what... was about to continue to speed past my stop when he realised I and another passenger wanted to alight. Applied E-brake, many passengers almost fell.Sometimes I really wonder if Service 52 BCs have very tight schedules... because every bus I take the BC is bound to chiong (very fast).
Well... like I said, this BC I encounter is probably just a black sheep.

Schedule tight lor.. Imagine the jam at PIE turning into Lornie Rd. Sometimes Svc 157 even catch up at Lornie Rd. -

That's true. The schedule of svc 52 is tight..During the morning hours bout 7.20am, there are no svc 52 buses in the parking bay..

Bus at Boon Lay interchange catches fire

Good luck to another ZF Bendy...
Join the Voith Gang! Never burn, never say die...
I would say that this may be another case of bus captains not monitoring the water levels or not checking their buses properly all together... It may also be a design problem with certain batches, but not to forget that actually all bendies do suffer from problems such as 'thirsty' (consuming water tanks everyday to cool the engine) or fuel line leak (happened to 1224Y twice last year), in which the second one would demand a immediate return to the depot. I would say that it was observance that saved the buses that had the problem.

12xx Voith's are also quite hot compared to 10xx Voith's. ><

cameo also so suay. hha. -
What interests me most is that Shin Min Daily News reported that 1063U had just completed its round of SERVICE 172 and was going to park at the lots. Service 172 is KJDEP controlled leh...
-
@tamago: Yeah, 1224Y got hit 110 degrees for the dial with the cog (same as SGF's) and that I guess is for the gearbox. Water temperature can hit 90 degrees, but once it reaches 100 the bus will no longer move. But the occurance of fire seems to be isolated to ZF Bendies so far. I would consider the bus captain (name not release for privacy) of service 189 who is perm 1224Y professional and responsible as he does a walk around check everytime after he tapped his card at the office. For example, arrive into Interchange, off load passengers, drive to parking, get off and tap card, come back and walk round the bus once, especially stopping at the engine compartment area. Once I saw him opening the cover and closing again. This is what responsibility is I believe.
@Oceane: Yeah the reports must be quite mixed up. We cannot be sure of the service but that parking slot can be used by all SMRT services.
New Paper: "A bus at Boon Lay Interchange caught fire yesterday morning. Its driver was apparently unaware till a fellow driver had horned, reported Shin Min Daily News. A stall owner at the interchange said the bus had dropped off its passengers and was heading to the parking bay. A series of explosions followed, before fire spouted from the rear engine. The fire was later put out by Civil Defence officers. No one was hurt."
There can be just so many places in an engine which can explode...

Quoted from STOMP:
Anne was at the Boon Lay bus interchange yesterday morning (Mar 17) when she saw this SMRT bus 172 on fire.
Said the STOMPer: "Yesterday at Boon Lay bus interchange, a bendy bus was seen to have caught fire at the engine at the back of the bus.
"The engine of the SMRT bus service 172 was known to have caught fire on its journey but the bus driver was not aware of it.So it is true to say 1063U transfer KJDEP from WLDEP 960? o.O -

Tire sidewall failure. Usually due to unnoticed cuts/cracks to sidewall of tire.

That is most likely because of the fact that it is a ZF...
Voith bendies have a 'Fire' light and a test switch for the circuit for discharge of gases/suppresive, ZF I guess the function is not avaliable...

Can't say that actually. There are so many buses with ZF gearboxes, but why must Habits catch fire? And. Theres also the MK2 and 2nd Batch Habits that have yet to catch fire.
Even if the bus is a Voith, a BC who doesnt checks water levels will still catch fire. There are also cases of Voith-ed buses catching fire in SG. Examples are Scania N113CRBs.

SBS9302X svc 70 brokedown along Nicoll Highway outside National Stadium bus-stop today morning peak. the first-aid box glass panel next to the entrance door broke into pieces while the bus was moving.

Here we have to go in to the fact that there are some batch 1 ZF Habits which does not have intercoolers like some suggested. I have not seen the engine personally so there is no proof whether which has intercooler or not.
But even with intercooler it does not mean the engine would not catch fire also, and once again, the CRBs are to proof also...
