Idiosyncracies of the Singapore transport system
It's a well-known urban legend (mostly true) that SMRT buses (or TIBS or TransIsland buses) are generally faster than SBS buses, due to the ... shall we say, ENTHUSIASTIC driving skills of their bus captains. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had the satisfying experience of sitting in the bus in a rush, silently urging the bus driver to go faster faster fasterfasterfaster please, and when he actually DOES.
However, there are some strange behaviours of SMRT bus drivers which somehow NEVER get replicated on SBS buses (or at least, none of the rides that I've taken!) Take, for example, the picture on the left. Taking the 167, this lovely bus went all the way from Newton Life Church through Newton Circus, to the Newton MRT bus stop - with the bus door open.
