	SMRT Buses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SMRT Buses (originally Trans-Island Bus Services) was originally formed in the 1980s to be a rival of Singapore Bus Services (now SBS Transit).
		Tibs used articulated buses, some of which were designed by world-renowned designer Pininfarina and known as the Habit bendy buses, on a large scale in its fleet, as compared to the double deckers used by SBS Transit.
		SMRT Buses currently has a fleet of 800 buses plying 74 routes, and is the second-largest bus transit company in Singapore after SBS Transit.

	Articles - Articulated bus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Some models of articulated buses have a steering arrangement on the rearmost axle which turns slightly in opposition to the front steering axle, which allows the vehicle to negotiate turns in a somewhat crab-like fashion, an arrangement similar to that used on long hook-and-ladder firetrucks operating in city environs.
		In puller bendy buses the diesel engine is mounted under the floor, between the front and middle (A and B) axles and only the B axle is powered.
		Also, modern, low-floor pusher articulated buses usually suffer from suspension problems, because their wheels cannot have enough travel to absorb street unevenness, leading to passenger discomfort and relatively rapid disintegration of the superstructure (unless the road network is overhauled and constantly maintained to near-racetrack standards).

		Operators whose buses fail to come on time at least eight in 10 times could be fined up to $100,000 under a new set of service standards kicking in by then.
		Getting buses to run on time and ensuring that they are not overcrowded are big priorities, since many commuter complaints are related to this - hence the new 15-minute peak period waiting time, and the requirement that bus services be no more than 95 per cent full on average during such hours.
		Buses should run between all major centres of employment and between all HDB towns, the Central Business District and Jurong Industrial Estate, unless there is no demand or sufficient LRT or MRT services.

		Last year, SMRT Corp, which is listed on the Singapore Exchange, reported a near trebling of its interim earnings, with profits of $81.3 million, for the six months ending Sept 30.
		There is "tacit agreement" that SMRT will be a partner in the operation and maintenance of Jakarta's ambitious $1-billion monorail system, which is due to be up and running by end 2007.
		SMRT is currently taking a "proactive" approach to encourage people to go out and take the trains, such as working closely with shopping centres and retailers along the MRT and LRT lines to publicise the happenings in various malls.

	Buffett Forum - Powered by XMB 1.9 Nexus (Final)
		The main strength of SMRT is this: there isn't any competition for them and they own and control the rail network in the entire country.
		It's a bit of a song and dance between the PTC and SMRT when it comes to fare hikes, but at the end of the day fares will be structured in a way to render it profitable.
		Furthermore in the current climate it seems SMRT has to battle just to get a few cents price increase so the fact that it is a monopoly is in reality no advantage at all in terms of pricing power.

	Dissolve my loneliness
		With two buses in front of 169, I approached the berth and waited for 169 to drive in.
		The frequency of buses is not often, on good days, one bus every 15 minutes, on bad days one bus every 20 to 30 minutes.
		On many occasions, two of the same buses come at the same time, leaving the commuter to wait for 30 to 45 minutes for the next bus.

	Neowin.net > What types of buses do you prefer? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Currently, about two-thirds of buses in London have two decks, and 'they will be around for a long time more', she predicted.
		My opinion of buses is that they must ferry as many passengers from point A to point B as fast, safely, and comfortablly as possible, while not putting stress on the road conditions.
		For this purpose, double - decked buses are the best as they are able to ferry more passengers at once than a standard - length bus, while not taking up as much road space as an articulated (bendy) bus.

	2Bangkok.com Forum - MRTA fares and SMRT fares
		A single Travelcard (for Subway, Skytrain and buses) would increase patronage enormously but i think we are years away from that.
		I believe with the Skytrain and Subway in presence, the buses and bus facilities have to have a better image first before discussing about any increase in bus fares, so that even the tourists can be attracted to board the buses.
		SMRT did have its own set of glitches, although i am not sure exactly what they were.

		When the buses charge less, the people is out to cheat.
		Buses still drive the same old slow speed and still operate on the same old dirty bus conditions.
		Surely people who ride the public buses are not your rich affluent ones like those who sits on the PTC who never take a bus ride except for publicity reasons.

		SMRT buses have such cute patterns on their seats and are evenly spaced out.
		The buses are always clean, and they always have this very fresh fragrance when I board the bus.
		In conclusion, I wished that SBS buses would improve themselves to meet the expectations of their very troublesome passengers like me. Or maybe, they should make SBS buses like the SMRT buses.

		Known as the SMRT Taxis Hirers’ Care (Hi-Care) Programme, hirers whose vehicles are undergoing servicing or repair works will be given a replacement taxi, so that they can continue to earn an income without disruption.
		FOR the next 12 months, senior citizens who use concession passes when travelling on SMRT buses and trains will be exempted from the fare hike.
		SMRT said it will absorb the one cent increase in fares, which means that senior citizens with concession passes would still pay a flat rate of 63 cents when they travel by SMRT buses, and 64 cents when they travel by MRT during off-peak periods.

		Fares on SBS Transit buses and SMRT's Tibs buses are the same, with the adult ez-link fare on air conditioned buses starting at 63 cents, compared to 64 cents on the North-South and East-West MRT lines.
		I read that the SMRT was going to give out a $500 set of five commemorative ez-link cards to the 60 millionth LRT passenger to show its appreciation to commuters for using the line through the "challenging times in the earlier years".
		SMRT Corporation, which runs a train system in Singapore, will be a partner in the system's operation and maintenance, she said.

		Since October 2002, commuters on SBS Transit buses have enjoyed fares that are capped at $1.90, regardless of the number of bus transfers within 45 minutes.
		I was shocked to find out that SMRT buses do not have a similar maximum cap.
		Also, if a commuter transfers from an SBS to an SMRT bus, and the fare is higher than $1.90, the fare cap does not apply.
