New Air Con DD at BB dep?
-
I was travelling past the backyard of BB dep along PIe towards Changi this morning and I happened to see the back of this "new" Air Con DD. Not sure whether is it a VSO but it had a rectangular or square slot at the back of the upper deck. It think it is use to show the svc no. Can really admire the view as I am cruising along the PIE at 90km/hr. Anyone seen this bus before?
-
Yes, it is the demonstrator VSO.
-
oic. Why in BB dep? Is it part of their fleet?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Yes, it is the demonstrator VSO. -
it may come out on a bbdep service lor.
-
I see the same bus at the same location today.
-
I hope it is one that passes outside my house like 14, 147, 165 or 166.Originally posted by ^tamago^:it may come out on a bbdep service lor.
Seriously, CLE lacks low-floor buses. 147 should rob the Tridents from 64. -
i have reliable info that the bus will be out on the roads very very soon.
the rego is SBS9889U.
watch out for it. -
is it the demonstrator seen in BRAM???
-
yes. it went from hgdep last yr to bram then to bbdep. it will serve on a bbdep service, most probably 147.Originally posted by SBS9828X:is it the demonstrator seen in BRAM??? -
when???Originally posted by ^tamago^:yes. it went from hgdep last yr to bram then to bbdep. it will serve on a bbdep service, most probably 147. -
technically it can come out anytime now.Originally posted by SBS9828X:when???
it has everything ready, from ez-link readers to EDS installation. u jus need to program the EDS to display routes of bbdep. tis will be the first time bbdep will be using EDS so be patient. -
any pic of that bus?
-
THIS NEW BUS MAY GO 7 OR 14
-
the bus has been confirmed to be permanent on 147. case closed.
the earliest the bus may come out, technically, is monday evening on 147's S shift. but tat is assuming everything goes fine tml.
and again, duplicate topics will not be tolerated. observe the etiquettes and discuss constructively, if u wan more info bout the bus.
again, to put the photo back on the main thread:

dis is wat u get when u marry a trident and a VSO... lol
-
Ugh. It's ugly. Does it have a Voith?
-
Finally, someone who agrees with me on the fact that this one is UGLYYYYY! Looking left and right, it just appears like a weak attempt at mimicking the Enviro500 body.Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:Ugh. It's ugly. Does it have a Voith?
-
someone boarded it before and confirmed it's a Voith gearbox, so not much different compared to the VSOs.Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:Ugh. It's ugly. Does it have a Voith? -
