Double Deckers for SMRT
-
So why are we talking about the weight? Someone recommending those Bendy/DDs to visit London Weight Management is it?
Anyway, road will sink when there's heavy force exerted? Should be damage bah~~ Like that our SLA minister got study Physics and D&T boh? The structure(or any structure) must be built 4x more than the force exerted to prevent any failure(which I believe this is applied on everything). Of cause things would be worn off as times passes~

we should build roads as thick as a runway so that it wont sink -
It's like that...
Assume that the weight of a DD is 14000kg while for a bendy is 15000kg...
The surface area of a DD is 12m x 2.55m = 30.6msquares
The surface area of a bendy is 18m x 2.55m = 45.9msquares
DD- 14000/30.6 = 457.52kg/msquares
Bendy- 15000/45.9 = 326.80kg/msquares
Same theory applies- I would rather wear slippers than high heels to the beach...
-
The weight of a CDGE is obviously significantly heavier, might be the cause that it was a low floor chassis of a B9TL was used to built it and it was low entry instead. Same goes to the B1 and B2A Wrights.

You have calculated wrongly...
you should be calculating the surface area of the wheels touching the ground instead of the bottom body. -

do you have any figures to substantiate your claim?

Thought the CDGE B9TL euro III is a low entry chassis?Dun confuse sial the CDGE is 300hp/1350nm while Wrights is 310hp/1400nm euro V sial

ppl more niao is w/ bldgs.. because cement cannot take in compressive load... -
dun forget.. how the rear carriage is supported... like I've alrdy said, it's not fully rigid because of where the engine is, the tyres are... But the trailers has so many tyres supporting the TEU load...
-
Wah I'm sure there's debate after this bro
-
The B9TL Euro V with WEG2 bodywork should be the one which weighs heavier since it has ad blue tanks...

-
still dun believe.. go and look at the Upp Bt Timah Rd/ Blk 185A bus stop's road surface...
-
if all these are true, all roads which have lots of DDs running on them like orchard road would have so many depressions...
-
Thinks its more like Airbus A380 double deck superjumbo vs the new Boeing B747-800i.Although the airbus look bulky n heavy actually it weight slightly lighter than the new jumbo

bro... Airport runway still got lifespan cycle one... cos of the landing impact... gotta repair one... lol

gotta repair one… lol
then road also need to be resurfaced... if the problem is sonehow exclusive to certain bus stops it might be for water drainage... -

woodlands centre rd bus stop would have lots of depression too :lol: -

I wonder who would be the first rider if SMRT introduce DD~~

You think Govt would agree?With such tiny lands and resource DD is more practical in countries suchs as SG/HK.Unless your country is as big as Malaysia then Govt will consider bendies.Even UK find bendy is a hazard.

If they think too steep to go upstairs then sit lower deck lor,No choice SG got 1300 bendies then i tell u chaos waiting to happen everywhere,Trust me.The only thing Gov can do is to limit the numbers of bendies on the road.

even if they don't agree
SMRT will still bring in bendies
