The entrance step is more user-friendly for young children and the elderly to board but due to there being only 4 seats in the front half of the bus, these passengers bear high risks of falling if they do not find seats before the bus starts moving. I have 2 toddlers and boarded one such new cool-looking bus, I could only carry my younger child and hope the other would be able to hang on tight to a pole. Unfortunately the bus jerkily moved off seconds after we boarded and all 4 front seats were occupied by elderly folks. My older child nearly fell on her face if not for one of the old men holding out his arm to shield her, and to my embarrassment, 2 of the old men stood up to offer us seats! Those seated passengers in the second half of the bus merely stayed glued to their seats watching the spectacle in front. There is still plenty of room to improve both in the design of our buses and the civic-consciousness of Singaporeans.

Mainly because they have fewer seats. I know the purpose of them are for disabled public transports users get around more easily. That's why the new buses have wider walkways and more space for the wheelchairs and therefore less seats. But I have a question, how may disabled persons actually frequently use public transportation? Because since I have moved to Singapore, I haven't seen a single person on a wheelchair taking the bus. Don't people with special needs as such generally own their own vehicles? I catch at least three different buses everyday and always get a sense of dread when one of the new buses pull up. Sure, I know that they give a smoother ride but we could have a smoother ride AND more seats. The obvious lack of disabled people frequenting public transport makes think that the move to widen space and reduce seats is simply to maximize the amount of standing passengers because they take up less space than sitting passengers. In that way, for the bus company, more fare can be collected for every trip made because the bus now has a larger carrying capacity.

>>>SBS has received 'a handful of feedback' concerning the steps. Ms Tammy Tan, its vice-president of corporate communications, said: 'For these new buses, close to 90 per cent of injuries were due to passengers not holding on to the grab bars when moving on the bus.' <<<

Sure, it's due to Sporns' bad genes!

thanks for the info!! if i ven't up u, pls leave a note

 

[leetahbar]

actually regarding public transport for handicaps, maybe they could hire taxi at a special discounted rate cos boarding a bus is quite selfish as it hoard the time of the rest of the commuters inside the bus.

from the pic, it seems that the bus driver gotta get off his butt to help the handicap. isn't it dangerous for him to alight from his bus in a heavy traffic condition??:(

 

[leetahbar]

again from that pic, i think it's also holding up other buses behind.:( just to make way for one handicap to board.

it doesn't look very practical.

The original buses came with all the seats and whistles, but the lan cheow $-minded CCBs "customized" them to squeeze more Sporns into them like bangras by removing the seats.

their obscene profits margins already show how a monopolised public transport is fleecing the general public.

it's not ethical that such vital public services should be public-listed. it simply isn't fair as SBS is the one bus service around. SMRT is now its accomplice. they have merged in some way.

there are so many matters which really the opps wanna fight they can. but i dunno why they overlook simple matters that affect every citizens greatly and yet is mum to it.
