Today 2 pairs of 178 buses bunched up twrds WRI twice ard 1000-1030 hrs. 1st pair is TIB848D & TIB842U. The other is TIB809S & SMB2E ...

SBS7337J has a mini sv 291 perm sticker beside the license plate on the 2nd deck.
SBS8493J front rim has a Scania logo in the middle that looks like this:

Picture shows a rimguard but the one on 8493 is not a rimguard, only the Scania logo.

Tried a bendy bus ride during peak hrs... not those rts like 190, 960... Sv 67... Ended up crawling like siao once the bus is packed... Simply because ppl having a hard time getting to the exit door to alight, and so boarding is delayed... Whichever buses begin the S67 all suay till cannot say further.. stucked at each bus stop for at least 1 minute... Ended up another S67 caught up, S170 that was like 4 - 5 mins behind eventually was able to catch up also... Fast alighting??? Sure or not on corridor bus rts? Somemore 50 standee is full to the door alrdy... 110 ppl is full liao... S179 ADD take in 120 ppl also no problem... bendy take 110 tak boleh tahan... No wonder why SMRT is losing money... MAN full is only 70% loaded in reality... bendy bus 'full' is only 80% full in reality... The full is not even full.. it's because of ergonomics...
-
what we have been comparing is boarding and alighting of DDs/bendies is when they are near empty to packed to the doors or drain everything out...
but really, i also have a very very hard time alighting from svc 74 DDs during peak hours esp when i stand all the way to the back or from the upper deck...
full as in how full? its all depending on the SL/BC and the passenger attitude on that trip. some SLs are very proactive and force people to move all the way back while some SL/BC just sit down there, just make sure the front door close can liao.
-
In the first place... O405G was designed for comfort.. not for standee... What's the use of near empty when a decent chunk of svs are corridor rts?

some svcs (esp loop svcs) can be near empty after one bus stop, and suddenly at another bus stop the whole bus flooded...
-
also no pt... your flood of boarding, 2nd bus can't even conduct boarding at all... Somemore O405G alrdy mentioned not for standee.. the front corridor are pretty narrow in reality... by certain load, it's very very slow boarding process...

all bus corridors are narrow... unless there are no seats

it's how narrow The way your speak of things really has no proper standard... it's like jam wat... ya.. but how bad is the jam, how much traffic cycle it takes to clear etc... -

-
answer is.. it's not... diff buses, diff era have diff aisle in fact... Tibs era buses, MAN have the narrowest aisle... I think the narrowest is the B10M MKII in fact...
-
narrow not narrow... in reality people only stand in one whole line along the aisle... only rarely people are willing to cramp 2 across in the aisle (like what happened on my ride)
but for side facing seats at the most is only 2 across because its a bit wider...

SBS6006X cameo on 185 today (100113) got only 1 workable EZ-Link reader (Entrance/Exit. reader near the Side EDS). rest all FAULTY
i board the bus at 2150hrs at dover stn twrds SLBP. abt 20 mins later, when reaching Jurong East Ave 1, the BC give free ride to those who board the bus. but when alighting, those who got tap earlier need to go to entrance to tap out

I was at the bus stop of Bukit Panjang Road this afternoon at 2.00pm then spotted a lot of Service 190 buses heading towards Choa Chu Kang Interchange The bus arrives around 5 minutes then after that another bus arrive at the same time then another bus arrive wow the timings seen very good 3 bendy buses on service 190 After 5 minutes the bus arrives again btw this time around 3 buses on Service 190 then another bus came around 2 minutes and it is the bendy bus 3 bendy buses and 1 non-bendy bus = 4 buses
-
very simple... S190 drivers totally dun care one... Some just chiong, whack 70km/hr.. .end up 3 or 4 S190 will appear together at 1 shot after waiting neck long long... Ever saw just because of long queue by 3 bendy bus at BPJ Blk 604 bus stop, 2nd S190 bendy bus just fly stop liao... 190 got schedule??? Where where where?
-
towards CBD the waiting time how?
-
This may sound absurd but there's need for 190E during weekday peak.Limited stops at CCK,BPJ express to orchard then skipping some stops at Chinatown before terminate at nbr.0730-0845/1730-1900.Charge express fare
