But in actual, it can be done for skilled bendy drivers. T1 is the only challenge where bendy couldn't take the narrow turn at the 858/24/34 berth. -

Mm if that's the case then I would be more than happy to see bendies on 858. :)Cheers.

Wee~! SMB134H some times cameo on 858. But 10/19 fleet isn't that good, further more the frequency not very good...should ply more buses on it. Putting OCs on RWS8 didn't benefits...only being able to take in more passenger, that's it.

You want more OC batch 1s in WLDEP, You wait.36-42 months down the road, If 171 gets to stay under WLDEP, then they might throw some batch 1 OCs over or the citaros come in, whichever is earlier.
I am not saying that I want more OC Batch 1s in WLDEP...I am talking about 2 different things..

10 (WAB) out of 19 fleets isn't enough, But no choice how?If frequency not good, ask ppl to walk, especially the KTPH ppl. relying on buses might as well walk better, KTPH to Gambas ave, or sembawang.
OC-Wise on RWS 8, I believe it is to 'impress' the ppl visiting RWS if not they won't spam OCs though.

OC last time on 858 not really pack...I board @ Khatib and the bus was like empty @ around 9pm.

everywhere you post, you keep ask ppl to walk from one place to another... stop saying this... if you are so capable, then you go walk yourself... cant imagine someone who choose not to serve NS to walk also. think you are plain jealous that Sv858 got the OCs, while your Sv178 got the old Nissans.

Can walk why not ask ppl to walk and also few hundred meters don't walk don't call lazy call what?Walking I can beat waiting 10-20 minutes to one bus that comes in within 8 minutes rather than a fool waiting for 1 bus then ppl complain about bus coming in late and pack don't call lazy call what? If I walk using 858's route I might beat about 3 858 buses that comes in 1 every 8-10 minutes.
And no, I am not jealous, This is SMRT's decision and I respect that.

from KTPH to sembawang is a few hundred metres? you try walk from the hospital to Sembawang during daytime... why dun you ask those ppl waiting for T1/T2/T3 to walk home instead? You have no right to say ppl are fool and lazy...
-
As there are a few empty DAFs in Kranji, shld tfr to WLDEP to boost 858's frequency

This is my final post to this though, and I will not reply anymore because we are deviating away from the topic.KTPH to Sembawang takes about 4km+ if you walk straight from KTPH following the MRTs line, or you walk via the 969 way might be faster. KTPH to Sembawang alone doesnt take more than a few hundred meters, more than that, What I was referring to is those ppl whose homes are hundred meters away from the hub/shopping mall cannot walk but take buses. These are the ppl I call lazy. and yes I have no right to call ppl lazy but they complain about bus frequency and don't think of solutions don't call lazy what do I have to call?
and also T1/T2 and T3, You judge yourself whether can walk or not, I won't go further.

So you expect KTPH ppl to walk to-from home? When they are tired?

You sure 20C is coming to WLDEP or not, better play safe, wait it comes out for revenue svc then confirm. -

You want to wait half an hour like a sitting duck only to realize 858 is fully packed or you want to walk and beat 3 858 buses that are fully packed and even though you get home slower you don't have to squeeze with the crowd you decide. -
