All Choa Chu Kang services are handed to Tibs by Dec 1999. Service 190 was handed on Sunday 25 July 1999.Originally posted by Townlink 268:HI all.. forgive me if the following are discussed in previous threads, but i dont know where to look fot the answers to the following:
When are the take over dates for 61, 67, 106, 172, 173, 175, 188, 189, 190 from SBS to TIBS?
106 is 25th Dec 2000 i think.
Service 67 was handed over in Sunday 07 Nov 1999 (if I remember the date correctly).Originally posted by supremebull:IIRC, handover date for 67 was 26th October 2000, not November 99. TIBS said that all CCK services would be handed over by end of '99, so I was expectantly waiting for the first TIBS service in Tampines. Then they had to delay it by 11 months...![]()
BP LRT first day of operation was on Saturday 06 Nov 1999.Originally posted by iveco:The handover date for Svc 67, 172, 175 & 188 was Boxing Day 1999. On the same day, the BP-LRT system was officially opened.
oh.. i saw a mk3 old livery on sv40 last month. must be 770L.Originally posted by tranquilice:There are some MK3s which still have blue seats. 770L is the only MK3 un-repainted into new livery.
765C repainted quite some time already. It was currently the last MK3 to be repainted.Originally posted by 105090:oh.. i saw a mk3 old livery on sv40 last month. must be 770L.

maybe u can throw some cough lozenges down its diesel tank?Originally posted by SBS3624G:Why does the trident hold its breath at times?
When it brakes, just bf it halts, it vibrates violently, and holds its breath. Then after stopping, 1 second later, hold breath agin. Then when it is about to move, vibrate and hold again!![]()
i think it is related to the revving up of the engine to disengage of the engine from the drive train. apparently the Trident's (and VSO's) engine is more powerful hence they have to rev up.Originally posted by SBS3624G:Why does the trident hold its breath at times?

SBS 770 L on sv 40. FYI Departure time for saturdays is 1634 Bedok Int.Originally posted by 105090:SBS 770 L, yes, its old livery. now i not sure. last month it still is old livery.

Yeah.. same as why passengers have no compensation when there are overchargedOriginally posted by phillipC:what are the proper procedures for malfunctioning of air con buses?
say half way breakdown, do drivers continue the journey?
Half spolit, say upper deck spolit, but lower deck still functioning, still carry on?
same question for bendy bus, front part working, back part not working. still carry on?
Why commuters have no entitlement for refund due to malfunctioning of air con?
Is it fair for us to pay for a sauna bus? since the fare is raising despite the public outcry.
Any one know, please care to share!
The SBS livery goes well with dm bodies on mkIIIs, mkIIs, and MB0405.Originally posted by 105090:SBS 770 L on sv 40. FYI Departure time for saturdays is 1634 Bedok Int.
For SBST,If some areas the air-con if malfunction,The BCs will ask the pax whether if they still want to continue their destination or not.Then the BC will proceed if the pax still want to continue but only with alighting activities.Thus the BCs first must remove all service plates to prevent any boarding activities.Once reach the terminating point the BCs will inform the Timekeepers to make a report and off to depot for replacement buses or other instruction by the Technical officers.I incline to think that it is the same procedure for SMRT BusesOriginally posted by phillipC:what are the proper procedures for malfunctioning of air con buses?

it's the electronic air suspension at work.Originally posted by SBS3624G:Another question,, I noticed a few mkIV dm3500 have a higher clearance than others. Yesterday I saw 2793H, it had a clearance of at least a few inches higher, thought I was dreaming, but I noticed that the wheels were running way below the body. That brought to my mind of a mkIV dm3500 on svc 12. Can anyone enlighten me further? Does it have to do with the kneeling mechanism?
