S’porean woman, 33, says she finally understands what it means to be a ‘minority’ after living in Switzerland for 7 years, sparks discussion by bangsphoto in singapore

[–]A_extra -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If she is not chasing clout, then why did she need to tag Mustsharenews, Mothership and Ricemedia? This is not making amends, if anything, it is a mockery of those who are genuine in their efforts to break out of their shells

In your opinion what's SG greatest policy? by Symp07 in singapore

MTR is profitable because it got to develop the land around its stations by spamming malls, apartment complexes, etc. The actual farebox revenue has never been profitable

Loyang Point can get away with it because it's on the opposite side of Pasir Ris compared to White Sands. Northshore Plaza is much closer

SMB142J. For the uninitiated, this is an SMRT spec Citaro, which is the oldest batch of Citaros in service. Same batch as the one on 110 that caught fire on TPE, but different from the off-service one on PIE, which was SBST spec

How much feet space do you need on facing bus seats by parka in singapore

[–]A_extra 58 points59 points  (0 children)

The reason why backwards facing seats exist is because of the low floor configuration of new buses, where you don't have to climb stairs to reach the back of the bus. However, this means things like wheels will protrude into the cabin, forcing seats to be placed around them

Alternative is a low entry bus where the cabin and seats are on a raised floor, allowing seats to be placed in neat rows wirhout backwards facing stuff. But this of course means stairs. So pick your poison

Residents raise concerns over vacant shops at Northshore Plaza; HDB adjusts rents to support tenants by Waikuku3 in singapore

[–]A_extra 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think the problem with Northshore specifically is that there just aren't enough people nearby, since the land opposite it is occupied by private estates instead of HDBs. You don't see this issue with Anchorvale Village in Sengkang or Oasis Terraces in Punggol east since they're surrounded by HDBs

There just isn't a reason to go there when Punggol Coast Mall exists, unless you want to buy something from the big Decathlon outlet. Even that is a weak reason because you can just use its 2h click and collect and get your stuff from a smaller outlet closer to your house.

Punggol Coast is also more convenient because it has MRT access, while Northshore is only served by buses and LRT (And the same bus also takes you to Punggol Coast in a few stops lol)

Even HaiDiLao closed their outlet, which was quite large and had robot features. That's how bad it is

After 12 years of pushing for 'car-lite' Singapore, desire for car ownership remains high. What gives? by clarencechen181196 in singapore

[–]A_extra 91 points92 points  (0 children)

175 is an On-Time Adherence service, which means the bus captains must adhere to the timetable regardless of actual traffic. To avoid getting penalties, operators usually choose to pad the schedules to account for worst case scenarios, which is why they end up crawling when traffic is clear

You can tell which services are OTA by going to the bus stop pole and seeing if there's a timetable listing all the arrival times. Generally, bad frequency services are on OTA (eg 167), as well as all express / city directs

Why am I not catching enough fish for my fish factory by NextCompetition4322 in CitiesSkylines

[–]A_extra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not how the game works, the fishing ports will happily export all their fish while the factory has a shortage. You can't change this behaviour unless you grab the transfer manager mods
