DDs
-
26, 54, 63, 130, 135 used to have DD in the past.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:These service cannot have DDs because:
13 - Due to Upp East coast terminal(i guess)
26 - Dunno
32 - height meter
38 - narrow roads at Simei
39 - height of 4.3m at Yishun int(entrance)
54 - dunno
63 - dunno
66 - due to height
78 - can't remember
79 - Dunno
83 - height (i guess)
163- as above
130 - used to have DD in the 90's
135- as above
195 - height
518 - height
506 - dunno
those VSO citybuzz are wasted not many ppl.....shouldn't used DD
151 should need DD ( I don't know about the situation in NUS ), because the morning peak hour demand is quite high.
As for 38, Jalan Kayu is also quite narrow, why SBST still can use ADD for 86 and 161? Tampines Rd also narrow, 72 has its fleet with majority ADDs. ( Last time when 81 call along Tampines Rd, 81 also have DDs used ). Towner and McNair Rd, together with Whampoa Drive and Kim Keat Rd, all are narrow roads, why 21 have ADDs? -

I don't think it is the narrowness of the Simei roads that is preventing SBST from putting DDs on 38. Rather, I think it is the sharp corners that the bus driver has to face when navigating from one road to another. -
PJ Quek, before you start 'shooting' your questions, please get some of your facts right...
SBST probably has their reasons for why they are deploying DD on certain svcs and not deploying DD on certain svc (demand is one factor...sometimes road conditions e.g. why delon said sharpcorners, conservation of trees, high slopes watever)...you can't compare why this service has DD on narrow roads...and why another svc doesn't...
Btw...in your signature...it should be Good LUCK...and not LUCKS...luck is uncountable...therefore it is without the (S)...there's no plural to it...didn't you learn basic grammar in pri sch? -
Relax Zilchster. There's no need to get so agitated. People are free to post whatever they want in online forums.Originally posted by Zilchster:PJ Quek, before you start 'shooting' your questions, please get some of your facts right...

Yap.. i agree.. They are allow to post whatever things on the forum.. BUT NOT STUPID QUESTIONS like this Every Now and then asking why no this why no that on blah blah blah Svc. If they think that they can do a better job, go open up a company by themselves and see if they can provide a Better Service than SBST and SMRTB..Originally posted by delonchew:Relax Zilchster.

Forgot to add, road through NUS quite hard to negotiate also.

Service 26 (together with service 139) used Superbuses before.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:These service cannot have DDs because:

Service 78 had LO2x from late 1998 till late 2002/early 2003. -

Superbuses are not MB0305. Superbus is the name given by SBS to the first batch of LO3x which were introduced in Sep 1993.Originally posted by SBS9828X:Arent those MB0305??? -
Service 26 got 5 VO3x (SBS 9592 - SBS9596). However, these 5 buses serves Sv 26 for a short period only and then these buses were transferred out to other services..Originally posted by SBS9828X:Arent those MB0305???
Same go for SV93, whereby it also have VO3x for a very short period... -
But the VO2Xes on 93 remained.Originally posted by lemon1974:Service 26 got 5 VO3x (SBS 9592 - SBS9596). However, these 5 buses serves Sv 26 for a short period only and then these buses were transferred out to other services..

MB O305s served on 26 in the past. As for 139, it had LO3Xes before it was amended to ply STM estate. Some roads like Jln Rajah and Ah Hood Rd are hard to negotiate. -
Nope i rem SBS9066C used to ply for sv139Originally posted by SBS9828X:Arent those MB0305??? -
i tink it was SBS9588M & sbs9589KOriginally posted by lemon1974:Service 26 got 5 VO3x (SBS 9592 - SBS9596). However, these 5 buses serves Sv 26 for a short period only and then these buses were transferred out to other services..

Correction.. even after it was amended into St Micheals Estate or Whampoa, the Vo3x still REMAIN In the fleet for quite some time.. itz the demand that made SBST redraw the DDs.. Demand not that bad.. and.. Nt that much ppl taking it.. loading is Average.... so.. the current Merdz 0405 can actually handle it without the help of DDs on that route..Originally posted by iveco:But the VO2Xes on 93 remained.

I remember DDs were prominent on the predecessors of Svc 54 (104 & 134). Why didn't SBS place DDs on 54 after the December 1993 rationalisation which saw the merger of 104 & 134 to form 54?

i to don't know why SBST don't want to put DDs on 54 i remember there were NAC DDs on the old 134 service and what was the route of 104 & 134Originally posted by iveco:I remember DDs were prominent on the predecessors of Svc 54 (104 & 134).

Integrated with Sv. 104 to form Sv. 54, and Sv. 156 plying from S'goon to Clementi was introduced to fill the gap in the Bishan - S'goon sector.Originally posted by tranquilice:Amended to Bishan int via Bishan St 22, Rd and St 11, in June 1992. Withdrawn in Dec 1993. -
Speaking of Svc 156, does it need DD buses? If there is height restriction along 6th Ave, how did the O305s on Svc 5 manage in the past?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Integrated with Sv. 104 to form Sv. 54, and Sv. 156 plying from S'goon to Clementi was introduced to fill the gap in the Bishan - S'goon sector.
By the way, are there any more DDs serving on SLBP feeders? I remember LO2Xes were predominant on 240 and 334 in years gone by. -
