There's a major flaw in this concept.
If any big truck collides into this moving " bus' structure then the whole " bus" line will be affected.
Simply a Road Hazard in my opinion.

Commuters, be mindful of your rights
Letter from Hanafiah Ali
LAST week, my colleague was travelling on SMRT Service No 187, in the direction of Bukit Panjang, when she smelt something burning and told the driver.
He pulled up at a bus stop and asked the passengers to alight and board the next bus. He also asked them to tap out their ez-link cards at the card reader.
When the next Service No 187 bus (plate number TIB 483Y) arrived, my colleague told the bus driver they were transferring from the bus that had apparently broken down.
The driver told them to tap in their cards unless they had a complimentary ticket slip, which my colleague insisted was not issued by the previous driver.
She believed that as there was a risk the bus might catch fire, the driver ushered the passengers out quickly. But, he should have at least informed the next bus driver.
I encountered such a scenario before, but the driver was more compassionate. As I understood it, if a bus is unable to complete its journey, commuters will not be charged further.
But my colleague incurred a $1.52 fare, for a journey that costs less than $1.
Other passengers may have paid more. If she were to claim from TransitLink, how would the validity of her case be verified?
In any case, I would urge other commuters to be mindful of their rights as consumers when using public transport.

hmm...wat's 1% increase in fare to the revenue of SMRT har?
=============================================
Fares for buses and trains to go up
SINGAPORE: Public transport fares will increase from
October 8 - concurrent with the full opening of the Circle Line.
The
Public Transport Council (PTC) has decided to grant an overall adjustment of one
per cent.
The amount is significantly less than the maximum fare
adjustment of 2.8 per cent the public transport operators (SBS Transit and SMRT)
wanted.
Adults using ezlink cards for buses and trains will see a two
cents increase per journey.
Fares for senior concession card holders will
increase by one cent per journey.
But concession hours for senior
citizens will be extended to the full-day throughout the week.
Their
fares on the North East Line and Circle Line will also be adjusted
downwards.
An estimated four in 10 senior citizens will see fare
savings.
There will be no change to child or student concession card
fares.
As for those paying in cash, adult commuters will see their fares
increase by 10 cents per trip across the board.
There will be no change
to senior citizen and child or student cash fares.
Overall, the average
increase translates to about 15 cents more, per week, for the 85 per cent of
commuters who will be affected.
- CNA/cc
- SMRT said that it will add 119 train trips on the North-South and East-West lines to shorten waiting times during non-peak hours on weekdays and Sundays.
Is this the CONFESSION ? ? ? ?
Ministry of Transport ? ? ? ?
Land Transport Authority ? ? ? ?
SMRT ? ? ? ?
shOrt-chAnged the cOmmUters ? ? ? ?
Over the lAst dEcAdE ? ? ? ?
anyone expect any good news coming??
The most is
1.. the last part of circle-line start operations end of this year
2. higher fare if it approved by government
3. new line coming ??
