What is the route for service 20? Does this service merge with service 125?
Service 125 is quite low demand. -
the current svc 125 was actually an integration of svc 20 and svc 125. svc 20 route was from sims place ter - st george's estate n svc 125 was st michael's - shenton way.Originally posted by payne:What is the route for service 20? Does this service merge with service 125?
Service 125 is quite low demand. -
But 125 doesn't go to Boon Keng Rd, unlike 20. The people who take 125 are those working in Kolam Ayer industrial estate, near the old SPH news centre.Originally posted by bluezombie10:the current svc 125 was actually an integration of svc 20 and svc 125. svc 20 route was from sims place ter - st george's estate n svc 125 was st michael's - shenton way. -

Where are the 10 Hispano DAFs now?Originally posted by ^tamago^:majority scrapped, but 10 buses were sold to Australia.
A side note, the Setanta bodywork designed by Walter Alexander was intended for the Irish market. In fact, the word "Setanta" has Irish origin. Try Googling the words "Alexander" and "Setanta" and you will find some cool Irish bus pictures. -

I'm sorry...some mistake by me...Originally posted by SBS3688Y:yes; excluding the VSOs and Tridents.
Yes, SBS2754X is the only SBST bus with exit plug-door, EXCLUDING the VSOs, Tridents & Prototype buses...
Prototype bus include the CNG bus, which also have similar exit door. -
Oh, oh, I see, thats wierd, I remember someone told me MB0405 has turbo-charger, I guess LO3X, VO3X have them?Originally posted by ^tamago^:a turbocharger increases the power and torque of an engine by using the rapid vortex flow of exhaust gas to drive a turbine that compresses the air intake of the engine to allow more air (and hence oxygen) per unit volume of air, hence allowing the fuel to burn with a higher efficiency. it also helps by allowing more fuel to be burnt per unit time, thus resulting in more power.
typically u will get a performance boost of 30%-40% over a non-turbocharged version of the same engine.
most newer buses nowadays have a turbocharger fitted. one special bus chassis worth mentioning is the Mercedes-Benz O.405 (both SBST and SMRT), which have no turbocharger fitted. the O.405G bendies use a turbo-charged version of the same engine used in the O.405.
turbocharger can be recognised by a whistle that is more obvious and higher in pitch at higher engine rpms. try listening to the Dennis Lance and u will understand.
a technical explanation of how this novel piece of invention is found here at http://auto.howstuffworks.com/turbo.htm.

i'm very sure the MB O.405's uses a non-turbocharged OM447hA engine (SBST uses the older OM447h), while the O.405G's uses a turbocharged OM447hLA engine. note the L means turbo-charged.Originally posted by SBS1908B:Oh, oh, I see, thats wierd, I remember someone told me MB0405 has turbo-charger, I guess LO3X, VO3X have them?
LO3x's and VO3x's all have them. note the boost comes in only after a while after the LO3x starts moving. -

Key in the bus service number to get the frequency. However don't trust the frequency too much.

As shown in the guide, frequency can be as short as 1 min.Originally posted by iveco:154 has the worst frequency in CLE. It is very erratic. -
I have waited more than 15 minutes for 154.Originally posted by tranquilice:As shown in the guide, frequency can be as short as 1 min. -
As shown in the guide, maximum frequency is 16 mins but bus may be late so that means more than 16 mins.Originally posted by iveco:I have waited more than 15 minutes for 154.
