Blueray Hypersonic October 9, 2017 Author Share October 9, 2017 (edited) I have always been curious about this activation of FREE BUS SERVICE (FBS) Say service for 5 stations breakdown. A1 A2 A3 A4 A5. The definition of FBS is for A1 direct to A5, passby-ing all the stations. Or do they deploy FBS for all multiple route, namely A1 to A3, A4 to A2, A1 to A3 etc etc. If only the former is true, IMHO, the word FBS should not be applicable here. Actually I also dunno. But for sure will be super crowded. My simple math is like this. One train - 500 pax (am using a conservative estimate) One bus - 50 pax One train spoil, need 10 buses to meet the capacity. Two train spoil, 20 buses etc ... got so many buses and bus captains in relief pool ? Once again shows how badly managed they are, having to depend on SCDF resources and not having BCP in place. Guess after investigations they will blame some already overloaded manager somewhere down the line or external contractor. Top management continue to jiak buffet and ownself congratulate ownself.

I think that's what the top chaps at SMRT were thinking too. Save $$$ = better bottomline = more bonus.

Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic October 9, 2017 Share October 9, 2017 When I past by Braddell MRT station on Sat evening, there are several Fire Engines along Lor 1, Toa Payoh.

DACH Supersonic October 9, 2017 Share October 9, 2017 SMRT should convert the rails to the suspension type wheels won't get wet... Please no.With their kind of maintenance and cost savings construction, I think the trains will drop to the ground after a few years due to rusty screws or rather not enough screws to hold the suspended tracks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason016 Supersonic October 9, 2017 Share October 9, 2017 SCDF personnel are trained for rescue missions, saving lives and buildings from fire. Not clearing water from tunnel .. Is it because tunnel infrastructure is public property so it becomes SCDF business and not SMRT? Desmond can say heng ah! Not my dai ji. Bonus not affected.

Kusje Supersonic October 9, 2017 Share October 9, 2017 I confirm take MC if I were SCDF NSman/NSF. Anyone who didn't take MC deserves to be abused because they allow themselves to be abused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
