My suggestions to improve sgWiki
| Suggestion | Reasoning | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Create bus deployments pages for each operator OR Follow the previous format on all of the bus models' deployments page. | In the Bus Deployments page, there isn't any point of categorising the links to the bus models' deployments pages via operator if it all leads to the same page. (Example: The link to the Scania K230UB (Euro IV) (Batch 2) under the SBST category and the link to the Scania K230UB (Euro IV) (Batch 2) under the SMRT category all lead to the same page). So instead of both links leading to the same page. Both links should lead to different pages. One page for each operator that operates a specific bus model. | |||||||||||
| OR | ||||||||||||
Follow the previous format that was used in all of the bus models' deployments pages. Example:
This also makes finding buses with specific advertisements easier | ||||||||||||
| Separate the former deployments from the bus model pages | Merging the former deployment pages with the bus models' deployments pages makes finding specific buses harder. This makes the pages more user-friendly. So separation of the former deployments from the bus models' deployments pages is best. | |||||||||||
| Delete the service pages | People can rely on Land Transport Guru if they need information on the routing and first & last bus timings. | |||||||||||

Review on the bus models
All bus models are listed in chronological order based on when the first unit was registered
| Bus Model | Rating | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Scania K230UB | 7/10 | The air-conditioning is mostly strong which is ideal for Singapore's humid climate. The seats are comfortable but the only downside to this is how some buses are shaky and how loud the engines are. |
| Mercedes-Benz OC500LE | 7/10 | Same reasons for the K230UB although the engine isn't loud. |
| Mercedes-Benz O530 Citaro | 5/10 | The reason why this is rated 5/10 is because some units have great air conditioning while some units was very hot inside. The seats are thin which makes it lack comfort (only on units that are built to SBS Transit specifications) and the air conditioners aren't adjustable. |
| Volvo B9TL (Wright Eclipse Gemini 2) | 9/10 | Peak bus design. The air conditioning is strong, the seats are comfortable and the engine isn't very loud and distracting which makes the ride experience peaceful (if there are barely any passengers |
| MAN NL323F (A22) (E5) | 4/10 | Air conditioning is either barely present or not strong enough in most units which makes it hot and stuffy during very hot weather. The only good side is it's very fast acceleration which makes it suitable for Express routes but the decceleration could make passengers trip due to how fast it is. |
| MAN NG363F | 5/10 | The ride is a bit shaky sometimes but it's still bearable. The cool thing about this is sitting on the rear and watching the entire bus turn left and right. |
| MAN ND323F (A95) (E5) | 8/10 | Air conditioning is strong, the bus isn't shaky most of the time and the engine isn't loud. Plus, like the A22, the acceleration is fast. Overall, the ride experience is peaceful. |
| Alexander Dennis Enviro500 (2-Door) | 2/10 | Absolutely horrible. The air conditioning is barely present. There's an annoying vibration when the bus is idle. The bus is very shaky and rocky which makes the ride experience hard to enjoy. Disapproved. |
| MAN NL323F (A22) (E6) | 1/10 | Bloody hell, who designed this bus? Weak air conditioning, shaky most of the time. It's even more worse with the annoying door closing beeping which can make it overwhelming plus the announcements are barely audible which is hard for those with visual impairment to know where they are. |
| MAN ND323F (A95) (E6) | 8/10 | It's as good as the E5 version. The announcements are loud and clear so bonus for that. Plus the door closing beeping isn't loud and distracting. Thumbs up man!!! |
| Volvo B5LH | 8/10 | It is great, the announcements are clear. The acceleration is perfect and it's almost as peak as the B9TL. |
| BYD K9 (Gemilang) | 6/10 | The decceleration needs to be downtuned a bit since it's way too fast. Overall, the air conditioning is alright. The door closing beeping is still distracting though and there are still some flaws but it's still okay. |
| Alexander Dennis Enviro500 (3-Door) | 7/10 | Great improvement from the 2-Door variant. The air conditioning is a bit okay but it isn't very shaky like the 2-Door variant. |
| BYD B12A03 | 5/10 | It's bad but it's also good. There are still some flaws like the wireless charging (which is a terrible idea) and the air conditioning isn't great but the overall design is good. |
| BYD BC12A04 | 5/10 | The interior design is fairly decent. The acceleration & decceleration is great. The only flaw is that there's too much reliance on technology like digital mirrors and automatic wheelchair ramp (which is very slow. Some of the AC is not adjustable for some reason. |
