Yesterday (020114) i posted about SMB213M breakdown, causing havoc at cck int at 8pm. Today, SMB213M was back on 307 (307AP04) in the morning and when I took 307PM04 just now at 1040pm, it became SMB209B. Turned out that SMB213M brokedown again and was sent back to depot. SMB209B was the breakdown replacement (earlier on was on 970)
What the heck is wrong with SMB213M? I ever heard BC saying that is a lousy bus that has no power.
In other news, SMB6U (on 172AP04 today) engine sound sounds like it is struggling to pick up speed and it sounded like the bus has no power even on even road. Sign of breaking down?
Also, unknown BSEP MAN spotted with EDS on showing RWS68 route details..spotted along cck way towards kranji depot at 720pm...

Most probably SMRT restrict the low end torque with speed limiter...

one does not restrict low end torque with a speed limiter, but with ECU remapping that limits the max torque/power generated in each of the rpm/gear ranges. in related news, can you be certain that all the OCs are driven consistently before making such deductions?
-
Tuning via ecu i know cause im into car and bike tuning also.But dont you know SBSTBalso restrict their low end torque to reduce fuel and maintenance too?Not all SMRT is restricted but since the dairy farm freak accident they've done something
-
to phrase my prev response simply: can you be certain that the BCs are fully zhamming the gas before making such a deduction? if the BCs are not zhamming the gas, it basically means that the buses arent fully accelerating, and another factor (ie gas input) has to be taken into consideration.

SMB3083B spotted with 972 rear desto at the front
TIB746P side EDS light spoil..cant see the number from far..changing EDS soon? Its front is super bright though.

I only know 764L one is coz side EDS spoil...so changed to mobitec one..the rest idk why change..hopefully 746P one wun change due to the light spoil for its side EDS. The flipdot is still wiorking perfectly fine. -

Service 307 was chaos just now at around 8pm. SMB210X (307PM01) left cck int at around 7.45pm and after that, there was no bus and queue was up to the 302 berth. At around 8.10pm, SMB212R (307PM03) came and the bus was to its brim after picking up pax from the interchange. Skipped the Lot one stop and they have to wait for the next bus. (SMB209B on 307PM05) Meanwhile, 210 has already reached the stop opposite Lot one when 212 skipped the lot one stop.
The bus that was supposed to be in between 210 and 212, SMB213M (307PM04), was spotted off service out of cck int at 8pm. Bus got problem? No replacement bus spotted.
307 frequency is shit, morning also school going children... Kena packed to the brim... Can't see a bendy bus helping too, rather take MRT less crowded and walk

Agree totally..307 frequency can be super bad, both during peak and off peak, weekdays and weekends. I live along the 307 route. Sometimes waiting for one can take ages. And if it is school dismissal time, pax can forget about boarding the bus. Reason why no bendy is because 307 cannot have bendy due to sharp turn at Teck Whye Lane..they should really implement bendies 307A from cck int to Opp cck MRT or do fleet add (think need about 2 more AP buses). I wonder why so many BSEP fleet add seem to miss 307. 300 and 302 both got theirs, and 302 even got 2! They only added 1329J which is of no use since it only goes on one trip each in the morning and late afternoon, and in the late afternoon (~4pm leave int), it is often empty.In other news, on board SMB56A (172PM05). Interior smell badly. Even saw a banana skin on the floor at the seat behind BC, and saw sweet wrappers thrown at the side latch of the bus!
