Anyone here have taken any sbs/tibs old bus before?

AIRCON 168 may be the first aircon service but there was also a normal sv. 168. AIRCON 168 only had 8 buses and its operating time was limited. Although AIRCON 168 was withdrawn in 1987, the normal 168 continued to run until 1989. The first FAC sv. was AIRCON 3 while the first aircon sv. from the start was AIRCON 118.Originally posted by sbst275:I remembered Sv 168 was the 1st FAC sv... The 0305 came from SABS
LA a nightmare?? I kinda find it cute because of the wooden interior
Anyone knows the model of the Sv 390 bus? The desto @ the door side?
The desto @ the door side would be the re-bodied Leyland Victory with aircon. -

Ya I remember now... Similar to the Sv 171 initally in 1996, had only 3 trips a dayOriginally posted by The_Bus_Guide:AIRCON 168 may be the first aircon service but there was also a normal sv. 168.

Sv 3 used the Jap bus right? -
Iveco, it was 1980's... When then got MAN buses?Originally posted by iveco:Front or side desto? The CAC Victories & the 16.240 had the front desto on the bottom left corner of the front windscreen. -
CSS was the Mercedes mini buses, it was in service since 1975Originally posted by SBS3688Y:CSS non air-con single door mini bus...
that was in the early 80's i think?
SBS : the front door is behind the driver/first window; and the rear door is at the rear of the bus (just in front of the rear bench seats)..these buses were later transferred to Sentosa internal shuttle buses (eg svc 1, 2 etc)..when some of these buses were transferred to Sentosa, the rear doorsteps were covered up to accomodate extra seats.. I loved the yellowish handstraps too...
SBS double decker with front openable windows. i remembered that the upper deck windows were rather high up from the seats. therefore as a tiny young boy then, i was unable to view the scnery.
LO2x
I think that window is either the 0305 or LA (Baco or L body WA) -
They used the UDs. The SMRT-liveried UDs bring back memories of the SBS ones.Originally posted by sbst275:Sv 3 used the Jap bus right? -
is SBS81 a man bus? i believe nw it's a trainig bus...Originally posted by sbst275:Iveco, it was 1980's... When then got MAN buses? -
Is the folding door for the entrance & exit? the license is SBS6706, SBS6688,SBS6699 rite?Originally posted by sbst275:It is not a Volvo... The desto plate is placed on the side, nearer to the entrance... It is an aircon bus with folding door -
I do miss those mercedes benz OF1417. I find those buses kinda unique. Those buses made a unique 'roaring' sound when braking.. I also miss those NZ volvo B57s.. 170 used to have full fleet of that model. I prefer volvo B57s to MK2s.
Until now, i jus don't understand why OF1417 made a roaring sound when braking. Can anyone here kindly enlighten me? Thanx.

SBS 7003Y wasn't a Dennis Dragon but a Dennis Dominator DDA144 with East Lancs bodywork. The bus was en-route to Hong Kong for Kowloon Motor Bus. It stopped over in Singapore for a brief evaluation period with SBS.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:i don't think SBS have Dennis Dragon...
Speaking of the Dennis Dragon, China Motor Bus (CMB) was reluctant to use a bus which bears the name of its rival (Kowloon = 9 Dragons). Hence, the buses for CMB were badged as Dennis Condor. -
