If you've ever stood, without hearing protection, near a firearm as it discharges, you'll know what I mean.

Rhon not here?

elin went home?
bear, WDL Checkpoint towards SG no jam tonight... Instead it is Tuas ... But is it true that the flyover is closed for the m'bikes in the evening? -
we never ever turn away traffic..
except at Tuas.. we do not allow bicycles to depart but if bicycles come in, we allow them entry... -

But for buses, I heard you have to leave by bus at Tuas right? -
I see the Skycam, there is 1 lane at the flyover is like closed... That's for the m'bikes?
It is really terrible towards JB... Such jam if I can remember takes 75 mins to get to WDL CIQ
Tuas is really having a long, long jam... No wonder they said Tuas traffic more than double -
no walking allowed.. but normal transport, we never turn away anyone at allOriginally posted by sbst275:I see

Because there is this SBS Sv 182 that calls Tuas Checkpoint during peak hrs and selected times of the day... -
oh.. you mean to work?
yah.. that's the bus i used to take to work...
shift workers charter their own busOriginally posted by sbst275:I see

Ah, yes. The good old days of riding SBS/TIBS/CSS buses. One could never escape the crowds on the overloaded buses, especially during peak hours. My fondest memories:
- The bloody inconsiderate standees on a crowded bus who refuse to move to the rear to make room for boarding passengers.
- Passengers with BO. 'Nuff said.
- The 'pedal-pumping' drivers who, for whatever reason, can never accelerate and decelerate smoothly, and can never maintain a constant speed even on a clear stretch of road. These drivers prove you don't need to be in an accident to get whiplash! -

Anyway, that CW3 dreads what is happening now at Tuas... Because their frequency is already 30-45 mins, any jam can prolong the frequency to 60-90 mins
And they stop at Gelang Patah Town Bus Terminal for abt 15 mins -
But now there is only 1 CSS sv leftOriginally posted by Meia Gisborn:Ah, yes. The good old days of riding SBS/TIBS/CSS buses. One could never escape the crowds on the overloaded buses, especially during peak hours. My fondest memories:

SBS svs are still the most prone to overloading... I wun say for SMRT as they they are criminally having shortage of buses
Like Sv 190 (Choa Chu Kang - Chinatown), SBS operated with 43 double deck and 1 single deck.. When SMRT tookover, it was with lesser buses of 24 bendies and 12 single decks.. Resulting in regular complains -
MG, if you missed taking non aircon buses around CBD, better come back to SG faster
SBS mths back deployed non aircon buses to Sv 32 that runs past Bugis Junction, City Hall and Clarke Quay... Board bef they retire in 2007 -
Burp!~ Finished another pack of Magnolia Fresh Milk
-
No, thanks. I've ridden my share of NAC buses before, and have experienced the 'pleasure' of being in one when it was crowded onboard and raining outside.Originally posted by sbst275:MG, if you missed taking non aircon buses around CBD, better come back to SG faster

Why in blazes would SBS deploy NAC buses on a major route in this day and age??? -
Because Sv 32's demand has been very weak. Frequency is 11-17 mins. Sv 186 is worst, to Shenton Way, 9 non aircon and 2 aircon buses deployed... But frequency is like 16-19 minsOriginally posted by Meia Gisborn:No, thanks.

These days the high demand svs gets non aircon buses too -
In fact the Sv that I complained abt what elin has replied, I had my fair share of Sv 90 as well.. During NS days at Paya Lebar.. Nah... Bus rides in SG can be horrible
-
Now Tuas towards SG not horribly jammed or towards Tg Kupang... Goodness, in 7 mins, so many cars at Tuas are cleared.. Dun tell me what bear said abt MY they keep cars?
But Woodlands towards JB, think it can take till 1am -

No idea man, i dont think its silverOriginally posted by the Bear:what is the metal?
Its like those type you are wearing now. -
that's silver... you can either buy a polishing cloth which has some chemical in it, or get some silver dip liquid.. quite cheap.. $2 for a small piece of cloth which will go a long way, or $5 for a small bottle of liquid..
i use the clothOriginally posted by laurence82:No idea man, i dont think its metal

Most silver i have seen are not that shiny though.Originally posted by the Bear:that's silver... you can either buy a polishing cloth which has some chemical in it, or get some silver dip liquid.. quite cheap.. $2 for a small piece of cloth which will go a long way, or $5 for a small bottle of liquid..

Hmm, tmr i go check out the Homefix DIY Store -
wrong place to go..
you can go to Jurong East, the shops just near the NTUC.. there's one near the lane which sells silver jewellery.. you can buy the cloth there.. it's a small little piece.. but if you use it well, it'll go a long way
remember to wash the ring after you polish it.. removes the traces of the chemical which may eat into the metalOriginally posted by laurence82:Most silver i have seen are not that shiny though.
