Calling all bendy fans! Post anything about bendies here! No negative remarks about bendies allowed!
BENDIES ROCKS!!!
When I was young while drew me to like TIBS was its bendy buses. To me bendies are iconic in Singapore and I hope they won't be phased out in the future, though I think it is likely to happen =(

I don't think they will be phased out, in fact I hope they won't. Now I think is far too early for importing of new WAB bendies. Hopefully, AMDEP will get to use the new WAB bendies first this time round!Originally posted by cheezing:When I was young while drew me to like TIBS was its bendy buses.

Tibs' Bendy Bus made history when it became the first to ply Singapore road on 16 March 1996. The Bendy Bus is a 17.5-m single-deck city bus. It is as flexible and manoeuvrable as the normal 12-m bus and can take corners as easily as its shorter counterpart. This high-capacity bus can take 143 passengers, with 54 seated and 88 standees. The MB 0405G buses are equipped with many passenger-friendly, driver friendly and environment friendly features as well as safety features.

Service Characteristics
In addition to the existing features such as demister that clears condensation and prevents misting, sensitive edge doors and spacious legroom, the Mercedes/Hispano Bendy Bus has a smiley exterior and electrically controlled wing mirrors. It also has thicker and more comfortable seats.
In addition, its "Bus Stopping" LED sign not only is brightly lit for easy reading, will also display information such as date, time and temperature. At the driver's dashboard, there is also a "Bus Stopping" sign that would light up to remind the driver that passengers would be alighting at the next stop. The front Electronic Destination Sign for the new Bendy Bus is also different. It is made up of LED and flip dot making it clearer and easier to see.
Mercedes-Benz O405G Hispano Habit
Service Characteristics
Tibs latest Pininfarina-designed Habit Bus comes with further comfortable features for its passengers. The features include more legroom with Cantilever seats, easier passenger movements in the bus with more vertical support poles, a brighter atmosphere with parallel lighting on both sides of the aisle.
Safety features include acoustic warning at exit doors to warn passengers that the doors are closing and close circuit monitors for drivers to check that passengers are alighting safely from the second exit door and double checkfor traffic at the rear whilst reversing.
