  Wonder where did the stomper get the picture of a Mark III in the old SBS livery.

  
  Mk4 DM lah. The stomper no image so that picture is a substitute only. No big deal. The picture illustrate SBS997A.

  I don't see anything wrong with listening to music while driving... people can listen to music while working, while cooking, why not driving? As long as he has no problems concentrating, I also wouldn't have no problems with him listening to music.

  Singaporeans can never appreciate the fact that the drivers are here to help them from Point A to Point B, and not to serve them all day long. They can't appreciate that drivers sometimes get bored and lonely due to their type(s) of routes and schedules that they use. So it is wrong to listen to music while driving? Because if it is, tens of thousands of motorists would be in the wrong also, because they can simply turn on the radio while on the expressway to a specific radio channel and listen to music.

  This is common... it's either ppl purposely or no intention of pressing the handicap bell button... coz everytime when the bus is crowded, i saw people lean at the handrail, near the button. so, they didnt realise that it kena the button... Do u think SBST should not have install the button there ?

  This is EXACTLY what I have been trying to highlight about the Scania KUBs. So that's why one PIW space is enough instead of two.

  And this is EXACTLY what I want to ask you about.

  Why of all the people inside there, nobody offered their seats to the elderly? The colour differences in the Vogelsitze is there not for mere display purposes.

  To me the WAB bus problem is that making it mandatory for public buses to be ALL WAB is wrong in the first place.

  It's really an over-kill.....just like 16 ERP gantries for a 9km stretch.

  What LTA should have done was to set a quota and a date this quota comes to effect.

  Would you mind elaborating as to why you think that making it mandatory for public buses to be all WAB is wrong in the first place? I also agree in certain ways and I may have similar reasons to you.

  In my opinion, they should have tried using latitudinal seating in the low floor area rather than implementing longitudinal seating on the Scania K230UB; I sometimes suspect that such a layout could have resulted in more seats.

  On the other hand, I guess ugly Singaporeans play a part in this by not giving up seats to these people. In this case, you could make a bus full of nothing but seats and minimal standing area, and still you could see standing elderly people and seated children, teenagers, and adults. Seems like our morals have been flushed down the toilet a long time ago.
