#SGBuses
The Articulated bus or commonly known as the bendy bus are very common to find in Singapore back then. But now they are very rare to find as Single Decker and Double Decker buses will rule the public transport buses in Singapore. Bendy buses started to operate its operations in they year 1996. With bendy buses, this makes a new era of public buses in Singapore. With a total of 208 bendy buses built for Singapore, the fleet number was then decrease rapidly. Most of the bendy buses that we're retired are non-WAB buses while the remaining of them are WAB buses. So what are the possibilities to make bendy buses popular again in Singapore? Well, I got some ideas to make the bendy bus popular again. But some will might be impossible. Bendy buses are one of the most iconic bus in Singapore. It's bendy, very long and can carry more passengers. The Mercedes-Benz O405G were the most popular Bendy bus in Singapore with different types of model of it. But as of 2021, only the MAN A24 is the last of its kind. There are 40 total of MAN A24 remaining. That really a small amount of bendy buses in Singapore. Although there are 3 operators who uses the bendy buses. This includes SMRT, SBS Transit and Tower Transit. But when buying the bendy bus, it will not be a diesel engine anymore. With the aiming of make all public buses in SG to run on clean energy instead of pure diesel by 2040, New bendy buses will be fully electric in the future. Other countries already have their own electric bendy buses. This will help them to make public buses more cleaner and greener rides. But that will only depends on LTA whether they will buy it or not. But as for now, we will have to wait and hoping to see electric bendy buses in Singapore in the future.
What do you guys think? Do you have any ideas to make bendy buses more popular again in Singapore? Let me know in the comments below.
Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time. Take care and stay safe.
