Are we ready to film our own bus documentary?
-
Saw this really old video , filmed and directed in Hong Kong i think , which highlights the special "bendy bus" that singapore has at that time. In one part of the video , the commentator recommends bus fans to take this bus , since it meant a new experience .
Some of the highlights are :
SBS9888Y , new new at the time of filming .
TIBS days . I really miss those days. Look at their fresh paint .
TIB1038T . TIBS (then) 100th bendy .

TIBS were the pioneers in much of the newer things, now, SBS Transit has taken over this role and it must be said tt, SMRT ate TIBS and made a much darker future...
SMRT's new bus, where is it? -
Sekali SMRT's reply was " still on the papers"Originally posted by TIB1224Y:TIBS were the pioneers in much of the newer things, now, SBS Transit has taken over this role and it must be said tt, SMRT ate TIBS and made a much darker future...
SMRT's new bus, where is it?
Anyway the main topic is that Singapore should really create a video that's similar to the link i gave . -

I longed miss the days of the vibrant Yellow TIBS BC Uniform
Actuallly, Habits WERE Eye Candy in 2000 when they were intorduced. I loved taking rides on them and I remembered my first ride onboard one of them on 187. It was a thrill. My first Bendy Ride was a Mk2 bendy BTW -
9888Y and the tridents and the 20th century SDs (1688, 288
and the MKIV DM3500 were the eye-candy of the early 2000s.
Along with the Habits. But then TIBS fleet at that time were mostly eye-candy too. -
Tibs long vehicles bus move fucking slow because its fucking too long. There's not enough seats and many person are standing and being squeezed side by side like sardines.
Double deckers bus FTW anytime. -
I doubt so for it's speed. Capacity wise yes, but speed-wise no. Bendies are known to chiong due to both types of gearboxes, be it Voith or ZF.Originally posted by HyuugaNeji:Tibs long vehicles bus move fucking slow because its fucking too long.

man, VSO looks hawt in sbs old livery, especially the 'forward arrow' like paint for the then low floor DD's, like 9888 and tridents

Try squeezing on a Svc 74 DD. Makes no difference.

Not many of those bendies have the luxury to cruise at expressway or long straight roads without traffic lights. Lets not forget most drivers dare not to drive fast or they prefer to drive slowly so the acceleration difference hardly matters.Originally posted by Oceane:I doubt so for it's speed.

And because the buses are so freaking long, all the drivers take so long to move off from their bus stops and also took so long to make a left/right turn. -
Yeah , those special buses have special SBS livery then , and the arrow is i think for low floor DD , the tridents and 9888.Originally posted by SBS7484P:man, VSO looks hawt in sbs old livery, especially the 'forward arrow' like paint for the then low floor DD's, like 9888 and tridents -
i'd took a bendy that travelled at 70km/h to 75km/h. it's TIB1112L when it cameoed on 969 some time ago, plus it's along Gambas.Originally posted by HyuugaNeji:Not many of those bendies have the luxury to cruise at expressway or long straight roads without traffic lights.

isnt that against the speed limit?Originally posted by nenepokey:i'd took a bendy that travelled at 70km/h to 75km/h. it's TIB1112L when it cameoed on 969 some time ago, plus it's along Gambas. -
I dare not agree with you. If my perm 812 uncles can speed down Yishun Central at 65km/h using a bendy, I don't see why bendies on trunk services are slower than that.Originally posted by HyuugaNeji:Not many of those bendies have the luxury to cruise at expressway or long straight roads without traffic lights.

I'd have agreed with you if you had said a Voith VSO instead. -
yes s812 drivers r kee siao creatures. 804 are another ones. madness driving

I really liked the Superbus livery on 997A. It looked really nice.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:Yeah , those special buses have special SBS livery then , and the arrow is i think for low floor DD , the tridents and 9888.
These days no more such special livery already.... -
Any buses including the darts can speed,like i said the companies who screw everything up by detune the pick up and top speed to become slow.Their reason safety and save fuel where actual fact the engine will stress frequently.Those B9TLs & K230s are awaiting for the 1 year warranty expired,then after that they siao siao will detune the performances.
