  There won't be any need for bendy buses in future as there will be more buses to improve the frequencies and introduce additional services to cater the demands of such places.

  Yea..then more bus drivers go missing and you wait twice the usual waiting time, very efficient and great improvement

  SG5084 not under SMRT..  if i am not wrong, should be either 5086-5089... there are sv963 DDs which off service from WDL, travelling down BKE/PIE/Clementi Ave 6/AYE. saw many times during evening peak... maybe starting downroute from NUH

  At times i would see them using Clementi Rd instead when they wanna start svc on 963E for PM peak

  OMG when are the orders gonna stop. Seeing SBST buses on SMRT svcs is driving me crazy...

  To the extent you can now see SBST logo on SMRT svcs... Is THIS the purpose of GCM, to clusterfuck the public bus fleet?!

  To begin with the B9s arent exactly awesome buses (SBST spec)... Backdated design, no PIS, and could be hella noisy. 

  Who are the lobbyists ah I wanna skin them alive... In the beginning I'm not a huge fan of B9s but still okay... Now I can safely say I hate them to the core...

  I'm not sure about that... But maybe it's due to price? Meaning buy from Volvo still cheapest? Just my opinions

  Yes... Masats close 2x faster and it is evident in the A24 that Masats is really stepping up their game in quality... Gone are the violent doors and protruding covers...

  SMC doors are a lot faster and less sensitive than the slow Ventura sliding doors on the Enviros, and then you have the violent Ventura front doors. The Bode doors on the Citaro tend to be a bit slow too, and they seem heavier than the SMC doors.

  Fastest is still Masats, even the slow one on the one off SBS Scania that they fitted it on is still faster than other types of doors.
