Today I was on board bus 58 (SBS 635U) to school as usual. At around 7.20am, while the bus was waiting at Lor Chuan turning into S'goon Ave 3, I saw another bus 58 (adless Mk4 DM, dunno rego, in opposite direction) turning from S'goon Ave 3 at a dangerous high speed!!! And the bus was full. Luckily it didn't cause any accident. But the BC (a female one, I think) was quite distressed as I saw from the bus I was on. Then the bus stopped by the road side. Dunno what happened, but I think she needed to recover from shock.

Omg... That was really dangerous!! Especially a 45 degree turn at high speed. I wonder what would really happen if an accident really occured...

Here's two of my suggested routes utilising the KPE:

108: Hougang to Bt Merah

 

• Hougang Int
• Hougang Ctrl
• Hougang Ave 5
• Hougang Ave 7
• Tampines Rd
• Hougang Ave 1
• Lorong Ah Soo
• Upp Paya Lebar Rd
• Paya Lebar Rd
• PIE
• KPE
• ECP
• Temasek Blvd
• Raffles Blvd
• Temasek Ave
• Raffles Ave
• North Bridge Rd
• South Bridge Rd
• Cross St
• New Bridge Rd
• Outram Rd
• Tiong Bahru Rd
• Henderson Rd
• Bt Merah Ctrl
• Bt Merah Int

 

Bus windscreen shatters; HQ didn't help as they couldn't hear bus driver properly

Sudden brake; bus windscreen shatters

http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=35562

Sounds like this is the first time that this sort of thing happened. Wow...

I just dreamt that I was at Orchard Road and Scotts Road intersection, and I saw SMRT double decks around. Don't know which model. And I also saw a Scania N113CRB on svc 14, and it is wheelchair accessible as I saw the logo in front!!!

And guess what? When you board the bus, you go up the steps as usual. Then towards the middle , you go down the steps again. On the left is one for the wheelchair and on the right is the exit door. Then you have to go up the steps again as you walk to the rear.

So the low floor portion is only at the middle facilitating wheelchair bound people. The front and back are high floor!! o_O

Did I see wrongly?! DD on 58?!?!

Is that a new perm or is it just a cameo?? If it's a perm, I'll look forward to taking it to school.

I wonder how it manages the Z-turn at Lor Chuan. Normally I take 58 to school, the bus is already struggling quite a bit, especially the left turn into S'goon Ave 3 outside Lor Chuan MRT exit.

Today morning, I dreamt of sv 14 passing by where I live, and it was heading to Yishun. I've no idea how it is rerouted to there...

And I also dreamt of boarding an OC500LE on sv 190 in CCK area. But somehow, I found myself sitting on one of the 4 yellow seats on top of where the front left wheel is located. And the seats are facing the side and not the front, like those in some buses such as DM3500, Dennis Lance, etc.

For me, I'll renumber some of the SMRT services as such:

 

• 167 > 987
• 882 > 982
• 171 > 971
• 172 > 972
• 173 > 973
• 176 > 976
• 177 > 977
• 178 > 978
• 184 > 984
• 188 > 988

Notice that I would not renumber some of the current services. E.g 190, 61, 67 are some of those high profile SMRT services that pass through the city area, and it will get people easily confused when they are renumbered.

Whereas for others... I don't know how should I rename them... LOL!!

North East Area got 43 and 45 le, still wan wad? I think is from UEC  West Area

I think so too. I guess 41 would be from Upper East Coast to Jurong East via a different route from 506, like what I suggested several months ago in the Route Suggestions topic.

LOL!! I just dreamt of myself boarding the MAN demonstrator on bus 13 today morning!!! And inside no passengers!!!

Just looked at the location maps of the stations. I was expecting Rochor Station to be slightly more to the east, in front of Sim Lim Square. And I'm wondering how they would build another pair of platform perpendicular to it, since the route for DTL phase 3 is going to intersect the route for phase 2.

Beauty World Station should be shifted slightly further down, since it would be nearer to NP and serving the shopping centres at the same time. Perhaps can link NP via an underpass.

I was expecting a Balmoral station between Newton and Stevens. I think that place deserves a station, but perhaps it might be too near to either Newton or Stevens.

Originally posted by Scania:

High chance Petir station would be renamed to Bukit Panjang.

Agree. And I think Beauty World would be renamed to Bukit Timah.

I feel that Hwa Chong would be a more appropriate name for Duchess station (not that I'm from Hwa Chong). Likewise for Stevens, Whitley would be a better name in my opinion.

Last but not least, the DTL phase 2 should extend to Kranji, and possibly to JB in the future.

I think 853 will be affected, since it would run parallel to the NSL, CCL, and NEL from Yishun to Potong Pasir. I can tell that demand for 853 would drop quite significantly after CCL opens.

You can also take 980 at North Bridge Rd, which is a short distance from Lavender MRT. From Lavender MRT, go behind the ICA building, cross the canal, walk through the HDB blocks, then you'll reach North Bridge Rd.

Next time please post your questions here: http://buses.sgforums.com/forums/1279/topics/287590

I'd rather have 859 to be extended to Changi Village than having a new service, since there's potential for 859 to be extended after calling at Yishun. And I find that going by Changi Coast Road is quite long. Why not just pass by Tampines town centre > Tampines Ave 7 > Loyang Ave > Changi Village after exiting from TPE?

Den 160's extension to Bukit Panjang will be feasible =)

167 vs 162 also!!

I thought SMRT would shift the bus no. to the right of the EDS, and have a slightly smaller font, something like the EDS on K230UBs. Anyway, I quite like the exterior, especially the front. Hope I can see more of these buses soon around my place.

I suggested this sometime ago but nobody commented. So I thought of posting here again. I think it would be quite a good service.

967: Woodlands to Marina Centre (Loop)

Woodlands Regional Int
Woodlands Ave 2
Woodlands Ave 1
Woodlands Ave 12
SLE
Upp Thomson Road
Thomson Road
Balestier Rd
Lavender St
Crawford St
Republic Ave
Republic Blvd
Raffles Ave
Nicoll Highway
Raffles Blvd
Temasek Blvd
Temasek Ave
Raffles Blvd

The service would then make its return journey after Raffles Blvd.

Unlike 960, 967 would serve the Upper Thomson corridor, where there is no direct bus link to Woodlands. It will also serve the Balestier area and Lavender St, then go through the Crawford Underpass towards Marina Centre. This service can also be extended to the future Integrated Resort when it is fully developed.

968: Woodlands to Bt Merah

I guess it should be 354. Since it is the only other extreme short service besides 284.

Originally posted by sinicker:

they should consider investing to make conversions to VSOs to make it wheelchair accessible. besides, only got 52.

Yeah, and I think SMRT's Dennis Lances can also be converted into WAB. Just eliminate the step at the exit and add a ramp, and replace with a plug door can liao.

For SBST, I think 73 deserves to have WAB.

For SMRT, maybe 961, 980, 61, and 851.

I dreamt of MK IV DM3500 on service 2 serving my area in Sin Ming, and I boarded this bus and don't know go where.

I dreamt of a Habit bendy in TIBS livery skidding on a wide road at a fast speed and continue on like nothing happened.

Originally posted by SBS9888Y:

chinatown customers from marine parade are big in number. all of them are tired of taking longwinded 197.

 

I actually suggested a service which passes by Marine Parade and the Chinatown Area some time ago, as follows:

1: Changi Village to Kent Ridge

Changi Village Term

Netheravon Rd

Cranwell Rd

Loyang Ave

TPE

Upp Changi Rd East

New Upp Changi Rd

Some more suggestions:

Amend 133 such that it has Green and White routes, as follows:

Green: AMK Int

AMK Ave 3

AMK Ave 6

Marymount Rd

Thomson Rd

Newton Rd

Scotts Rd

Orchard Rd

Bras Brasah Rd

Loops at Suntec City, and return to AMK by the present route.

White: It starts from AMK and travel to Suntec City by the present route. After looping there, it goes as follows:

Stamford Rd

Penang Rd

Somerset Rd

Orchard Turn

Orchard Blvd

Scotts Rd

Newton Rd

Thomson Rd

Marymount Rd

AMK Ave 6

AMK Ave 3

AMK Int

I actually thought that 133 goes by the route that I suggested after I briefly look through the street directory many years ago.

 

Since SBS Transit has 170 from JB to the city area, and since it also has 160 from JB to Jurong East in the west, why not have 150 from JB to the eastern part of Singapore??

150: JB Kotaraya II Term to Bedok

JB Kotaraya II Term

1) Which bus stop is orientated in such a way that a bus on the road it is on has its doors on the other side (ie bus stop is on the right of the bus)

2) Which depot has the highest lamp posts (SBST only, include arbp, brbp).

For 1), is it the bus stop at the JB checkpoint, before we clear the customs when we enter JB?? I remember I had to go to the right side after alighting the bus.
