ok, I'll feedback to SBST & SMRT on ur behalf..
but whether they wanna grant you ur wish is another story liao..
1. 163 to be declared a WAB service. Either Citaros or K230UBs to replace 804Z and 806T.
2. SBST to acquire 300 more Citaros for long term MK4 DM/Strider replacements.
I want more of Mercedes-Benz Citaro and MAN Lion's City SD and DD with their standard bodies for SBST. 3 doored versions will be fantastic.
for me, I just wish that there would be perm Citaros for svc 38..
or at least a cameo..

More variety of buses; DD to have straight stairs; sliding plug doors.
All KUBs clear out of singapore

1. 985 to shorten back from Geylang Lor 1 back to Bukit Timah to complement long-distance service.
2. (1 step behind) 7 will also shorten from Bedok to City Hall to complement MRT.
3. 10 should be shortened to Shenton Way.
4. Buy more SBS buses.
985 from CCK to Geylang far meh? 7 also have its demands plying between Bedok-City Hall and 10 just loop at Marine Parade.

Whats wrong with MK4 DM/Striders and LTA have announced that TPY services will be declared WAB latest 2013-2014.
I'm just wishing for more bendies....that is WAB also

Sooner or later these buses would have to go off, after the MK3s are gone. The MK4s will reach their lifespan of 17 years by next Aug but looks like they will also get extension to 2014-2015. Tat's why I mentioned in the long run.
1. Service 163 to receive at least 2 Mercedes Citaro Perm, 1 Wright
2. SMRT to buy Double Decks - preferrably Wrights, because they are real comfortable
3. SBS Transit and SMRT to continue purchasing OCs/Citaros in replacing the current MKIIIs and MKIVs, Striders and whatnot(*Anyone here agrees with me that OC is a damn good choice by SMRT? It's damn solid and stable, I feel lah, compared to the batch of buses bought by SBST during the same period KUBs)
4. Service 159 to be KUB deployed (i think this one will most likely to happen very soon)
5. Service 86 to get Citaros and Wrights too
6. Introduce new bus routes to duplicate MRT lines, or amend or extend current bus routes to duplicate MRT Lines(MRTs are overcrowded like crazy alr, I would pick bus as an alternative, i believe there is a considerable number of passenges willing to do so too :))
7. Improvement in accessibility to the West (Kranji, Marsilling areas). SMRT or SBS Transit
8. More bus services to serve MBS, or even RWS
9. Amend a few TPY bus services to serve other TPY areas and not congested within Lor 4 and Lor 6.
10. Have more expressway services like 857, 965 and 969.
all are my wishlists. It will be very great if #2 happens! :)

- TPY area is small so if there is some amendments,some feeder will be duplicated also
- I'm just hoping that SMRT will buy more bendies not DDs...
- Anyway,86 is spammed by KUB and more chance getting either a wright or B9TL.
- For your number 3,I really suggest SMRT could buy more MAN buses.But for SBST,some buses like wrights and citaros the buses they bought is not in service.
- For your number 10,i wish so but it must demands or else no point having the service.
- I don't expect much from 163 since the frequency also very long but for DDs,just 1 and that is not wright continue VO.. and others all KUB perm lor....
- For 159,Citaro/KUB half half..
- RWS no need more service alr people can just take either bus or MRT to Habourfront and transfer or even they can drive in to RWS...for MBS also lah MRT opening alr..
Haha.. TPY areas could have been better if trunk services can serve other areas of TPY, i realise alot of residents can only take feeder to TPY Int before they can continue their journey.
57 and 59 are good examples of such services.
if SMRT can buy more bendies I am okay too. but i think LTA banned new bendies alr? so SMRT should buy DDs to replace its bendies
i dun mind KUBs on 163.. but it will be good with Citaros! I wldnt hope so much for Wrights, I'm rather happy with DDs on 163 alr. haha
159 probably wun get full fleet WABs.. but i believe it will get a few KUBs in the near future.
RWS and MBS hmm.. MBS maybe accessible by train, but RWS quite inconvenient to get there. but hahaha well i believe there will be better plans :)

Come Jan 14, there will be direct MRT service to Marina Bay Sands. Looking forward to it. I believe the free shuttle service to Promenade MRT as well as 133M will be withdrawn by then.

Hope some of the Batch 2 EEVs go over to 163 to replace the 2 MK3s.
All i want for 2012 is to STOP all these "people" out there to stop all these massive argument u have created & messed up that had happen almost the whole of 2011. Why? because they are being sacrasm and stupid
1. SBS8031J to be out of layup and back in service.
2. SBST to bring in a very small fleet(3-5) of Dennis Enviro Darts for svc 42
3. SBST to trial a Dennis Enviro 500 and maybe bring in more in the future.
4. SBST/SMRTB to bring in more demonstrators.
5. SBST to stop removing the rim guards of the buses.
6. All bus services having a larger variety of buses.
Thats all I want for 2012!
TO TS:
1. shortening 985 will piss a lot of pple as they use this svc to get a quick trip from west to central area namely TPY to tfr other svc
2. For the already screwed MRT service of SG, sv7 is always crowded everyday of the week.
3. 10 shorten to shenton way, how to pple get to kent ridge direct. fyi, bus is a direct svc wic NUS students used to get rest/do homework/revise to get to school.
Frankly are you on the road to see the load capacity of the svc or you are keyboard trigger happy?!
IGNORANCE is blissful if you live in a well.
There are more comfortable buses in the markets that are used by transport operators that are superior to WRIGHT...
Scanias , ENVIRO series are far more superior than Wright
ACx
these services are to be driven a bit faster :
- 23, 72, 81
these services are to have more buses during off-peak so travelling time < waiting time :
- 10
