Standing on bus 190
-
Is anybody able to stand with ease on bus 190?
The bus,which i took the other day,is loaded with so much torque that its difficult to stand with ease and not move around as if i was in a rollercoaster ride.
The most irritating part was at the heavy traffic around Orchard road(to CCK via PIE) - everytime the bus move from standstill i have to hold the handbar tightly if not i'll be thrown backward.
Do u think the engine of the buses serving 190 ought to be de-tuned a bit? -
Well, if they are 'de-tuned' then they cannot run fast on the expressway, then will 'lambat', then someone will complain that they wait very long for 190 etc...

It's called inertia. Meaning your body has this special phenomena that resists moving forces when you are in standstill position. Generally heavier people will tend to experience more inertia so it's wise to stand close to grab-poles or there might be DOMINOS.Originally posted by ceecookie:Is anybody able to stand with ease on bus 190?

Anyway, 190 buses have the tendency to speed since they use PIE and BKE anyway. Nobody wants a tortoise on the highways right?

A speeding bus is a good bus
-
be used to it.. rely on this sv to go town oni..... my most hated and loved service
-
its a love hate relationship
i depend on that too...
i've proven my friends that its fast....
they take train i take bus...
bus got jam but still reached first...
we all stand anyway...be it train or bus -
i think 961 can challenge 190. going down WDL Rd at 80km/h can be fun when standing even when u r sitting can feel the suspension go boing so hard on the Striders. standing more fun.

This bus TIB1035 stinks lah....
Really can't stand the bloody smell... aircon very weak and the "HongKong" feet smell in the middle of the vehicle. Anyone experience that smell before? -

packed buses best dun speed
if kena e brake I dunno abt the consequences
maybe you end up seeing ppl flunked out of the bus due to inertia
*Reminds abt that Pioneer Rd Nth accident, e brake and the metal pieces just skidded forward and killed the driver -
Do u think those drivers ( from up north ) cares? Look at the accident rate in their country. Then these lorry / truck drivers come Sg look for bus drivers jobOriginally posted by sbst275:packed buses best dun speed

How come SBST drive within speed limit also accident rated rose up?
Both company sucks one,the drivers are just scapegoats.With that kind of tight schedule newbies also run,try to be a bus driver next time. -
Dun try and cover up abt speeding being a cause for accidents... You kena into accident, you lose your job as a driver for good needless to say your driving license all because of speedingOriginally posted by carbikebus:How come SBST drive within speed limit also accident rated rose up?

You go try e brake on a packed load bendy bus and you go see what happens especially at high speed -
I understands that you really anti-SMRT to the core,Everone knows that but when YOU already hold the fricking steering you will forgot all those bullshit,needless to say,thats why i dun intend to hold this job for long as i've already apply to other traffic division.Thats why they have safety & traffic division,Counseling div bla bla,if not why they bother to set all those?Every road users make mistakes not just SMRT SLs!Originally posted by sbst275:Dun try and cover up abt speeding being a cause for accidents...

frankly speaking they should remove the speed limiters on bsues and re fit 70km/h ones like Hong Kong . at least the buses wun crawl when there is no need to. and such so they can adhere to the tight schedules planned.
