I don't think he means bendies as there are no bendies on service 307.Originally posted by 105090:if you mean bendies, is because they uses back EDS, and not plastic ones. -
I mean the MB 0405s.Originally posted by 105090:if you mean bendies, is because they uses back EDS, and not plastic ones. -
Why did SBS Transit change the design of the plactic desto.
Last time was like this:
Hougang------147--------Clementi
Central
...With the route shown beside the number. Now:
-----------147---------
Why SBS Transit remove the route ? -
So that the numbers can be seen easily even from a distance. SBST is implying that you should flag the bus earlier instead of waiting until the last min
-
SBST also do not need to create new signs due to any route changes in future, hence saving trouble and costs.Originally posted by samtlk:So that the numbers can be seen easily even from a distance. SBST is implying that you should flag the bus earlier instead of waiting until the last min -
Is there any diff between 997A and 964C? The only diff I can see so far is the length and extra axle. I think engine gearbox same?

Engine is the same. THD102KF. Striders are also on this engine. Due to this, I sometimes find the B10M-70 underpowered and struggling when there's a heavy load.Originally posted by SBS1908B:Is there any diff between 997A and 964C?

Gearbox is different. Our B10M-60 Mk IV DM (for those on ZF) uses ZF 4HP500; the Superlong bus B10M-70 Mk IV DM uses ZF 4HP590. the only other bus in SBST tat uses ZF 4HP590 is the Scania L94UB.
And indeed, the extra axle at the back is a free-wheeling axle and does nothing more than providing additional weight support. -
How come use same engine? How about 998?Originally posted by ^tamago^:Engine is the same. THD102KF. Striders are also on this engine. Due to this, I sometimes find the B10M-70 underpowered and struggling when there's a heavy load.

Saw this... In SBS Transit livery.Originally posted by SBS1908B:Sorry, momentary lapse in me too. 0081S is in SBST livery, so it will be around for some time, I guess.

When and where did you saw the MAN bus (Exact location) ?Originally posted by 5454:Wow the photo looks nice. So is this bus still around the last i saw it was along Ang Mo Kio ave 3. -

Last year saw the bus at Ang Mo Kio ave 3 near ave10.Originally posted by CAIX:When and where did you saw the MAN bus (Exact location) ? -
MAN can seen at HG depot area.. was a regular at HG south Int, together with othe rscania and NISSAN training buses last time

I already lost sight of SBS 3572 Y for a few years. Has this bus been repainted into SBST livery?
-
Unfortunately, the Lynx has been taken out from service. Its future is likely to be the scrapyard although I would like to have it preserved as the one and only Lynx in Singapore.
-
I find the B10M-70 er, usually faster than its MKIV braders.
And yes, 0081S is still around although I wonder why going no more to HG to train. If I am not mistaken, 0081S did revenue svc on 076. -
the lynx appeared to be broken down and left as it is.. its front door appeared to be spoilt.Originally posted by SBS3688Y:I already lost sight of SBS 3572 Y for a few years. Has this bus been repainted into SBST livery? -
How do we classify roundtrips into route groups? Is it by looking at Direction 1?
-
Yes, for me, I will not scrapped the Lynx and like what The_Bus_Guide had said, preserve it. Morever, Leyland company had cease to exist as Volvo had taken over.Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:Unfortunately, the Lynx has been taken out from service.

The front door had spoiled ? Oh thats bad. But nevermind, old buses tends to have this problem. The Lynx is still parking at AMDEP ? I would like to make a trip to the depot during National Day to visit the Lynx.Originally posted by 105090:the lynx appeared to be broken down and left as it is.. its front door appeared to be spoilt. -
Only if I'm a tycoon.... I'll buy a big plot of land in Johor Bahru (as near as possible to Spore), then keep at least one bus model (even MRT & LRT railcars) for every design and preserve it. I'll also set up a museum and info / archive centre specially for Singapore public buses. So that bus fans can donate all their collections when they are old to this museum for future generations to appreciate. At least I know that all my bus collections are left behind for future generations to appreciate when I pass away one day...Originally posted by CAIX:Yes, for me, I will not scrapped the Lynx and like what The_Bus_Guide had said, preserve it.
