  Hi! Why are the SMRT O405Gs using the ZF 4HP500 gearbox that can only accept 1100Nm of input torque? The engines can output 1250Nm, so isn't there 'wasted power'? Thanks!

  No wonder sound so stressful especially Habits/Volgrens

  How long will the COI for the MRT breakdowns will last? Every day, SMRT managment under scrutinise. from crowd controls to bridging buses to communication breakdowns.... so interesting this crown company. I think this company should perform in the circus.

  Remember 1712? Got bus rosak wo..

  But seriously, the NSL especially, the bridging bus stop are literally out of the way one... Some ppl may not know that's the MRT - bus transfer stop

  Hmm. Hard to deduce since there is around 600++ services in just a area of a little over 700 sq km.
  IF you are judging by the amount of buses at MINIMUM, 
  It would probably be :
  240 [ 12 buses minimum ]
  243 [ 243G/ 243W ] [ 12 buses minimum ]
  410 [ 410G/ 410W ] [ 12 buses minimum ]
  But since 243 and 410 have [ G + W ], both are considered to have 6 buses minimum instead. So, left 240.
  So yeah, 240 is the king.

  No. 912 got 912E also. So, not counted 
  Unlike 240, 240 is single.
  BUT If you count in maximum, 241 overtakes 240 by 3 buses.
