yep confirmed on SGT ''Mandy'' has a rego plate
Finally,got rego plate,what is the number?
Today took TIB841Y passing by there, the MAN A24 isn't at the parking area anymore, rather its filled with new trucks and A22s with a Five-Star DD. Its too cramp to even move the bendy back to its parking lot where i see only A22 can negotiate the tight turns very carefully. Totally no lots for any bus to park at that area... Either the bus had sent to depot or sleeping somewhere else...

Since the bendy was spotted with rego plates already, most likely it was sent to the depot quietly...

Bus goes to hiding at a Depot...

But seriously, if they never implement any road structure meant for buses and only buses, the train still will somewhat "win" in terms of speed and capacity(able to board the train within 10mins or so).

for the A24 ...
most likely to be seen on feeders or intratowns

Make SMRT work harder for fares! Not everything is MRT..
but its just too bad that the sad reality is that MRT will always be faster than buses most of the time (except svcs like 966)...

Alrdy Yishun & Woodlands PM peak alrdy cannot tahan w/ so many bendy buses... Because boarding is always slower and the length makes it terrible... still want to use bendy?
i beg to differ... i timed every bus which arrives full and normally most pax will alight there and a new batch of pax will fill up the bus again (at clementi MRT). a KUB takes 2'20" while a bendy takes 3'5"...

Is it? You know if 390 is around... it's faster for bus to ply along ECP than taking MRT from Airport to City Hall? you sure Bishan to Tampines is really fast by train??? For this case, since it can pass by TP before getting to Tampines Int... so many ppl can save the bus - MRT - bus x-fer time etc.. Not many people can get to their destination fully w/ MRT only...
I did not say that MRT is always faster than bus.

if each and every Clementi Sv uses bendy bus.. how long the queue length is going to stretch to because of the length of bendy bus?
kids here… only how to look at 1 measure, dunno how to add everything up…
I never said all types of services suit bendy bus ops.
Originally posted by sbst275:184 less problems cos that side of Clementi bus stop is less crowded…
if 184 uses the Jurong bound bus stop… see what happens… LOL
how to leapfrog…
No, both are quite crowded. Just that the situation at the Jurong bound side is worst because of the flawed planning which has a taxi stand and a car park entrance right before the bus stop.
Originally posted by sbst275:I can tell you… 966 is no longer than fast…
It’s all because of the crawling forming up into BKE during the evening peak hrs.. it’s made worst being on a steep upslope…
Then explain to me how come 506 is so much faster than taking MRT from Toa Payoh to Bt Batok esp during off peak? somemore now peak hr headways during the peak within peak belt is 12 mins?
Buses sometimes is faster than MRT, it’s how you route it…. of course many kids here the fantasy bus rts thread, of course will have bias saying bus rts are too long…
We really have good kids here… poor measuring scale, still cannot answer why Woodlands Int is like one big clusterfark during pm peak..
Your argument is invalid if you use 506 as an example because it is an express service in the first place.
