Yea.. servicing @ Tampines Estate right. Recently they use the old converted air-con buses.. now the new wheelchair-accessable.. the new single deck bus actually not many seats onboard somemore hard to get off the bus especially those seats behind >.<

yea.

summore got the smell lol.

the new bus smell.

anyway sometimes i hate 293.

The frequency of the bus is so unpredictable. Peak hour bus frequency is quite low too. Often the queue gets very very long.

lets get sbs to increase the frequency haha

Sometime during peck hour at evening, the queue is already outside the queuing area and the bus still didt come.... the new bus also have fewer seat...

**Beanman** · 01-08-2008, 12:06 AM

mayb ask them to change to a double decker bus

**hide-X** · 01-08-2008, 12:10 AM

A lot of buses change new 1, including my area in jurong.
I think they choose double-deck or single-deck by how many will board the bus,
and how far is the destination. So i think they won't do a d-d for that.
