Anw, wat's the point of deploying MKIIIs when they are gona go soon...
WOULD RATHER AT LEAST STRIDERS?
They should replace it with a DM3500 or K230UB. No Citaro.

Deploy Citaros and Citaro Gs the best!!!

128 is a different case. It is a peak hour one-directional service, unlike normal trunk services.
Who knows? Maybe when they introduce these mrt duplicating routes, they may well be peak directional services like 128. Don't forget they say in the press release that they will monitor these services and make adjustments when required.
Running rail parallel bus services is not a profitable business. 128 is a good example. Dunno why singaporeans really prefer to squeeze in sardine packed mrt trains than to sit in comfortable bus. Sacrificing time for comfort is really a no no to them....

You don't know?
Then I don't think you realise what a waste of time taking buses can be.
Especially now with the introduction of CCL.
-
But seriously even w/ the CCL, sometimes it's a rip off... Like the 93 vs CCL issue.
It all depends on where your pt A & pt B is..
But having said that, buses need to start doing limited stop service
-
Which I'll say a false sense of security.. Which is why now ppl dun bother leaving early for work.
Anyway, CCL has its own share of problems as I've realised.

they can introduce new service which can use the bartley east road? KPE? or even upper serangoon viaduct... foresee more services will start from depots as well..

I am willing to pay a premium for CCL if it means not needing to put up with the nonsense 151.
It cuts the travel time by 45 min.
Of course that translates to significantly more sleeptime and far less stress about whether you'll be at the destination on time.
The problem with many services is not about then stopping too often. Crawling buses waste a hell lot of time and drives the blood pressure of pax up. Even worse is erratic service. 151 starting from HG is guilty of that. It gives less problems in the opp direction.
-
sometimes the crawling... I dunno
As long as it's within 50km/hr of travelling tat's ok
But 151's taiji I suspect isn't to do w/ scheduling... It's something I'd noticed on my recent checks

Wonder how the new bendies will look like. The bendies should be low-floor if I'm not wrong.

They'll soon face a lot of problems..The SL all love to chiong, never depart on time, ends up once all the buses cluster arrival that's when problem would arise.
No one is stopping them, because they dun even realise SMRT is a problematic company.

Yes it is. MAN A24 and Citaro G are low-floor.

If authorities don't find it a problem, I don't see why it should be a problem for you complaining S'greans.

This interior!!

I think the bus operators should get those buses with the standard european configurations with 1 seat on each side near the front so that there is more standing space for standees instead of the considerably narrow aisle on the current Citaros.
