If you could design a bus, what would you create?
-
I've seen things like this succeed elsewhere, so I thought I'll give this a try! If this gets ignored to the end of the world... meh, forget it.
If you get a chance to design your own bus, and that this design will specifically cater to Singapore's road conditions, what would be the end-result?
What are the features you would put in this bus - be it standard option on most buses or a unique, never-before-seen one that solves a Singapore-specific problem? How would it look like - on the scale'o'boxiness of 1 being Hispano O405 and 10 being Wrights, what would you put it at?
Keep your ideas realistic yet creative! :)

I would design an SD/14.5m bus/DD/Bendy Bus that takes full advantage of both standing spaces and seating spaces, to improve capacity.
-
A bus that a sufficient horsepower and torque, not too much, not too little of each. Full low floor but with a wider aisle. And must feel liek Citaros (Joke directed towards the special someone)
-
Buses with TV showing route information and next stop announcement like in trains. Long strip bells like those on old buses.
-
12m Double Decker buses with 3 doors and 2 staircases. Plug sliding doors.

That is called a bi-articulated bus, or double bendy
! A special license is required to drive these kind of buses. -
A bus with moderate horsepower rating (around 290HP), powerful aircon, low-entry but steps to rear not too many or high
-
i design a bus with seats that are bedbug proof.
-
No need design,Request Daimler to make a Citaro 2x 10.8m & 3x 12m DD enough with power rating from 8000cc 280hp/1300nm,300hp/1450nm & 340hp/1650nm i'll be more than happy.Optare is using the 6340cc Merc engine too.

how about a bus that can time travel? go back in time and change history
-
I would design a bus that runs on clean energy, combining the usage of solar power, wind power, kinetic energy and heat energy. Each of them contributes to the whole sum of the energy requirements of running a bus.
As the bus moves, it creates wind and kinetic energy, we may be able to harness them. Heat energy and solar energy, quite straight forward as you know Singapore weather.
Obviously a battery or fuel that serves as a backup.

I'd like to see an automated system like this: http://singapore2035.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/solution-for-public-transport/

Height limit 4.5m in SG
...The centre of gravity will be quite weak, so when it speeds too much or turns too quickly...
... I dunno what to say
