  buses that connect wirelessly to the traffic light systems of the next traffic junction and disallows the bus driver from stepping on the brakes if the light is going to stay green for the next 10seconds and more.
  
  like my idea, guys? lol!

  I believe a lot of commuters will rejoice if ever this initiative is implemented.

  SBS and SMRT should be consulted to design the roads in any new town and realign existing roads.

  That will be more important than any new innovation. Sg is a county built for public transport but nobody implemented this stupid idea.

  3D Express Coach

  It looks so cool and if implemented, can improve travelling time and would be competitive with MRT!

  There's an ads in the Straits Times about this mass mover system a couple of weeks ago. This system may be good for congested areas such as Shenton Way, Orchard, PIE, CTE etc. but for short distance travel may be too tiring as we got to climb up to the 2nd floor and down to use the system. and i think the bus-stops require more space to build as it got to be elevated. how abt infrastructure costs; are we going to build lifts for every stops for wheelchair access and the elderly? and for roads with lots of junctions and for turning into small streets, how about safety if the cars below wants to turn and the mover system is moving straight? Hence, will it really cut travel time? if any vehicle below accidently bang onto onto the mover system, is it still structurally safe?

  For first point, when SMRT maybe tries the Citaro G, most likely they will choose the 354HP version since their OCs are already 299HP lol

  For second point, if too many MBs in SMRT's fleet, maybe some of us will get bored of MB....too

  So I will add in the buses I want for SMRT.

  Volvo B7RLE with MCV eVolution bodywork
  MAN Lion's City LE (A20)
  MAN Lion's City (A21)
