SMRT bus Service 950 is confirmed!(I think)
-
To be exact, DDs are close to 4.4m in height.Originally posted by gynobcard:DDs are only about 4m high else they would have got their tops ripped off when pasing under the bridges n flyovers. i don't think the height of the checkpoint is a factor, more likely the loads on svc 170 and other factors as dictated by M'sia -
for evrybody info 77 cna use bendiesOriginally posted by cck_190:77 does not have bendys because of the roads it travels on.
Please, watch your words. I see that you come here once in a while, can't you mind your words?
My point is not childish.It is a fact. If SBS bought New Citaro Merc buses, and SBS deploys them on Sv 170. Would you be happy?I'm sure you would want SBS to deploy it on better services!
Mind your words...
in fact ZYX977 (say TIBS 77) uses bendies
u want hills ..thne ask why 61 cna go such roads and even climb holland hill

toh tuck avenue's ascent is much more steep than holland hill actually, and it is very difficult to do a left turn & overdrive all the way up the hill. a right turn prob would provide enough initial momentum to ascent it, but not the left turn.Originally posted by xin1jun2:for evrybody info 77 cna use bendies

anyway due to the fact the svc is only highly loaded during peak hours & the frequency is already so long, there's no point in putting bendies & making the frequency go to something unacceptable, like 17-25 mins. -
Toh Tuck Rd, not Ave. Toh Tuck Ave can easily accomodate bendies, ie Sv 963.Originally posted by ^tamago^:toh tuck avenue's ascent is much more steep than holland hill actually, and it is very difficult to do a left turn & overdrive all the way up the hill. a right turn prob would provide enough initial momentum to ascent it, but not the left turn.

btw Imagine an Mk3 doing the climb

4.4m to be precise. That's why they need a clearance of at least 4.5m. Height restriction is a big hindrance. There are a lot of low hanging branches and low street lamps. But, most importantly is the height of the flyover at the Johor Immigration Checkpoint. It is only 4.0m, impassable to DDs.Originally posted by gynobcard:DDs are only about 4m high else they would have got their tops ripped off when pasing under the bridges n flyovers. i don't think the height of the checkpoint is a factor, more likely the loads on svc 170 and other factors as dictated by M'sia -
I don't have to imagine because I have experienced it. Sv. 173, which also went via Toh Tuck Rd, used MK3s before the handover. Very sluggish.Originally posted by leeJZ:Toh Tuck Rd, not Ave. Toh Tuck Ave can easily accomodate bendies, ie Sv 963.

There are repainted Mk IIIs waiting to be put on Sv. 170, currently roaming around BBDEP services.Originally posted by leeJZ:SBS should apply to get those JB Mk3s repainted -
Read this by SBS 9819~ unidentified new livery JB Mk 3 on 170Originally posted by leeJZ:SBS should apply to get those JB Mk3s repainted -
y dun sbst put its 2bendies on 170 if dd not possible?
Do SMRTBorSBST buses have the power to go up hilly slopes such as...........................Genting Highlands (i m a bit siao to ask this question hehehehe) Coaches crawl when travelling up gentinghighlands -
The power actually lies on the driver's feet or brain.Driving a bus on steep hill needs good judgement and manouver,A bus are totally different from driving a car.Originally posted by bus911:y dun sbst put its 2bendies on 170 if dd not possible?

They should have enough power to crawl up at slow speeds..Originally posted by bus911:y dun sbst put its 2bendies on 170 if dd not possible?

which route will 950 take?.................w'lands ave3
w'lands centre rd w'dlands chptJB ?
Which berth will 950 be, beside 966?
will the queueing place(metal bars) for 950 be longer than other services in woodlands.Or not why y 966 queueing place very short. -
Probably next to Sv. 966, as WRI is at maximum capacity.Originally posted by bus911:which route will 950 take?.................w'lands ave3w'lands centre rd w'dlands chptJB ?

We can't really say that the demand of 950 will be very high, some passengers might choose Causeway Link and SBS for their trip to JB.Originally posted by bus911:which route will 950 take?.................w'lands ave3w'lands centre rd w'dlands chptJB ?

btw, I wouldn't like the service to start from WRI. WRI is veeeeeerrrrry crowded already

It has space for two more services at the 966 berth.Originally posted by cck_190:We can't really say that the demand of 950 will be very high, some passengers might choose Causeway Link and SBS for their trip to JB.

The metal railings have to be erected, thus me saying WRI is at full capacity.Originally posted by leeJZ:It has space for two more services at the 966 berth. -
Then where's your proposal,CCK?Originally posted by cck_190:We can't really say that the demand of 950 will be very high, some passengers might choose Causeway Link and SBS for their trip to JB.

ah yio ..... how to accodomate another busservice at the checkpt, i went there today ,i see that cw1 queue are made of bars which are not fixed to the ground(those movable ones)-----woodlands checkpt and at jb checkpt,------it looks like there is no more space.
woodlands checkpt (towards s'p) terribe when it rains very heavily and windy. Y ou can get wet while wetting at the bus stop for 170,cw1. the wind was so strong that the metal bars for cw1 Q drop on to the floor. -
i'm inclined to think tat the route proposal was approved along with the initial application itself so when they said WRI it will be WRI.
i believe it will ply via Woodlands Regional Int, Woodlands Ave 3, Woodlands Centre Rd, Woodlands Checkpoint, Johor Checkpoint, (Jln Selat Tebrau, U-turn, Jln Ibrahim), Jln Wong Ah Fook, (Jln Suleiman, Jln Gertak Merah), Kotaraya Bus Terminal. tis bus is likely to terminate at kotaraya follwing the opening of senai airport city air lounge (a.k.a. KL Sentral & KLIA). -
ZYX bendies cna climb any high. high acclelration not like tibs one.Originally posted by ^tamago^:toh tuck avenue's ascent is much more steep than holland hill actually, and it is very difficult to do a left turn & overdrive all the way up the hill. a right turn prob would provide enough initial momentum to ascent it, but not the left turn.

also the operation timings for the bendies is only on weekends evening runs. cameo vendies =P
if need to i will put the same bendybus on evening peaks weekdays too. the frq of a ZYX977 *think tibs 77 ' is 12 mins per bus
