Huh? Tyres removed? Rims removed you mean? -

with the closure of BP Int and ONP returned back to WLDEP... we can expect an improvement for 75/920/922 buses...
probably. but that means there'll be even lesser space in WLDEP. already i've been seeing svc 856 buses park overnight at WRBP.... (in addition to having swing breaks at SEBP and touch and go trips to WRI aka no laying over in WRI)

Seems that this commenter never seen how eager the elderly people to go up the upper deck just to get a seat or want a better "view" at the upper decks.
Like it or not, LTA has already made their decision about the problems of long bus queues and other problems made by more buses on the roads in future and especially the problems caused by bendy buses.Like I have said, height problems is easier to solve than space problems and LTA improves public transport for the sake for solving the problems for public transport in Singapore, and not for catering the needs for a certain transport operator.
If SMRTB is still persistent about its bendy buses, then it should scale down its bus operations and give up Bukit Batok and Yishun to SBST. Don't give more problems to commuters because of their inefficiencies.

they should give up Bt Batok, CCK and Bt Panjang
there isn't problems when they are managing Yishun and Woodlands area

I see no problems when they manage CCK.

Services like 190 are problematic since they took over. -
BPJ have not much problems...
If bendies cannot cope with the load at 1-5 min frequency, don't think DDs will cope...

Not much problems? wait till school holidays end or even tomorrow... the bus stop can only fit two bendy buses in practice, which equates to three double deckers being able to call at the bus stop at once

S856 always touch-and-go at WRI, its been the same practice for years..?
All mealbreak/start/end/change shift is done at Yishun.
S856 have 2 min layovers at WRI, similar to S172 concept at CCK.

Just now saw 2x 190 bendies, S180 bendy, S960 bendy, 1x S187 O405... alrdy causing total blockade to vehicles at Jelebu Rd intending to get to Bt Panjang Rd. That's not much problems? Ya fast alighting bla bla bla, but you still ended up w/ 2 bendy buses blocking the slip road and the zebra crossing... Bendy less problem? Why bus terminal entrance gotta be left hand drive style? even to paint specially for bendy buses which is the correct inlet [green, red paint on the road]... Very special indeed... what I said abt adapting to your constrains? forgot... the kids here know nuts abt driving.. talk talk talk as though know driving like tat..

I've seen 3 912 bendies too
All because of the front bus driver, who seems to be "ignoring" the time table~ -
