I think the B9TL and A95 are ideal buses, just that LTA need to order more. And not more single Deckers.

More Wrights? Seriously? There are so many Wrights on the roads. Maybe some KUDs.

Exactly. And no they are FAR from ideal... At least given its current specs and fitting

I think for now let them order more A95.

And I am pretty sure in two years time, comments of "More A95? Seriously? There are so many A95s on the roads. Maybe something else." will start showing up.

Oh man I'm careful what I wished for... nv wanted the B9s to be brought into SG anyways... or at least with these fittings...

The interior can be refurbished. That is something for LTA to decide in the future and SBS Transit engineers no longer have a direct say. Just don't ask for the fancy stuff as some lobbyists do.

Nope. A K series bus or coach chassis means the engine is placed longidutinally with the gearbox in front of the engine. An N series bus means the engine is mounted transversely (on the right side at the rear of the bus) with the gearbox on the left side of the engine compartment. This is then connected to the axle via an angle drive.
Service 43 now OK already. 15 mins frequency during off peak, and 5-8 mins during peak.
I don't care about 43M frequency. The frequency stated above is only for 43, not including 43M.

Sorry.
But there is no variety of buses. I dont know who go and complain about the chap pa lang makes on tibs that time.
To add on, someone has been going around to say lta ban or restict bendies.

That is what happens when bus lobbyists lobby too hard for certain models. And even now, things have not changed one bit.
Bendy buses are not possible if LTA still wants to tie itself down to the concept of starting and ending at ITHs/major bus interchanges. There has to be a fundamental change in mentality to route design. I have talked about this at length before.
Well they got what they wanted. So i do not wish to hear any complains

Well, they did, not me. LTA gave up on Scania and only ordered 200 ADLs. Even Rapid Penang has better mix now.
