Blacksheeps of the family
-
So we all noe about some of the odd buses in the fleet...like TIB 7oox...
Have u all noticed TIB 939 A, the front exterior shows the Mercedez logo and uses the merc front... very hard to notice but very obvious.. -
SbS 175 E on 183 have a splash of white paint on the front door....
SMRT merc 0405 have this 2 weird hemisphere at the back of the bus outside at the top) now it is being removed...anybody noe what that thing is? -
TIB 612S uses the side eds similar to that of the lance...the front eds is also not properly aligned....there is also a foldable seat like in the cinemas at the standing area... izzit still dere?
SBS 1999M have the bus stopping sign similar to the LO3x instead of the one used in the normal MK4 n VO3x....there is also a seat which have da wrong colour....instead of the normal pink seats cushion... the top is green but the seat is pink... -
Remember the time when the SUPERBUS was first introduced on 106 at Serangoon interchange.....it had the Leyland logo on its red rim in the centre...and was written in gold in a black backgrouund..anybody got its pic.... and the bus produced this loud breaking sound....i was so young back then....but still remebered....so nice...the logo and the rim became black over time and was soon painted over red....

Didn't all 0405s have that?Especially the aircon models, thought it was air intakes or something?Originally posted by muziq bus:SbS 175 E on 183 have a splash of white paint on the front door....

SBS3743X has a column behind the driver being painted white. makes it a brezze to spot tis bus from far, and helpful too since it's SP.
SBS205C has jus been given a new panel. very shiny. catch it on 136. -

the front eds is not properly aligned as it uses a different EDS (LED EDS actually) so it's not designed to fit into the Hispano window. it is slightly higher to accomodate the electronics at the lower part. but i think it's fine; it's more readable. and the side eds is also LED. in fact, tis is the predecessor to the LED EDS used on the Lance. so it is actually considered a better EDS design than other O.405's in SMRTB.

the foldable seat is also there. it is meant for pax to sit down when the bus is not too crowded, if not they'll have to stand at the standing pax area. the design can also be spotted on either 1688K or 2888T.
actually these aren't blacksheep, they are jus special or pilot buses which are used to try out on different schemes so they can better decide. -
Yah...all model have...but SMRT are removing it!.....Y bother anyway?...can see the scars when u r riding the DDsOriginally posted by LazerLordz:Didn't all 0405s have that?Especially the aircon models, thought it was air intakes or something? -
Well, the heading Blacksheep is more catchy than that of "Special Buses".... It sounds so...corny n cocky.... might as well have a heading which is different and ironic...Originally posted by ^tamago^:the front eds is not properly aligned as it uses a different EDS (LED EDS actually) so it's not designed to fit into the Hispano window. it is slightly higher to accomodate the electronics at the lower part. but i think it's fine; it's more readable. and the side eds is also LED. in fact, tis is the predecessor to the LED EDS used on the Lance. so it is actually considered a better EDS design than other O.405's in SMRTB.

green seats with pink backs are very common on Vo3x (92xx).. as the seats are vulnerable to vandalisms etc. SBS9396 (74) has 5 front seats on the upper deck all changed to pink ones (from blue)Originally posted by muziq bus:TIB
SBS 1999M have the bus stopping sign similar to the LO3x instead of the one used in the normal MK4 n VO3x....there is also a seat which have da wrong colour....instead of the normal pink seats cushion... the top is green but the seat is pink...
theres also a LO2x sv88 with ALL seats changed to pink..
an interesting fact: for the newer VO3x (9401 onwards) seats facing the aisle, there is 7 seats on the left side as compared to 8 on the right.. LO3x has equal 8 seats on both sides.. -
you mean the one at the front? i think it looked odd with the white paint.. like something's not quite right.. others were black colourOriginally posted by ^tamago^:For O.405's:

TIB 953 H
The centre bus stopping display was once broken and had just been replaced...now the bell chimes differently. The front have different bell sound and the centre also is different and is not synchronised...very cute yet irritating after a while...
TIB 596 E
Has an LED EDS at the front and side....its front rego plate also looks different... -
Pardon my ignorance but...
What is da rego of da VOLVO MK4 DM3500 which has a back door which opens outward like the Habits?
i remember previously boarding it on svc 161 -

SBS 9188 J and it's LO3X.Originally posted by 105090:theres also a LO2x sv88 with ALL seats changed to pink... -
SBS 9002 L - svc 72 :
The front desto sign is always partially covered on both sides. Therefore, one cannot see the wordings "TAMPINES" and "YIO CHU KANG" completely. Very weird looking...[/u][/b] -

SBS 9264 Y (service 10) has its seats changed to pink.

Went to Jurong East Int and saw a few LO3Ax with two extra indicator lights on the back of the bus and at the side. (Driver's Side if im not wrong.)
Not to forget, the SBST MB0405, SBS 310 G with BLUE Aircon dunno whats that called on the interior of the bus and it is the only SBST 0405 with no standing area. -
"To make it even easier for other road users to identify a bus that is pulling out of a bus bay, three additional LED signal lights have been installed on the off-side and back of the new Fast Forward 97e and existing Service 97 buses."Originally posted by SBS9845X:Went to Jurong East Int and saw a few LO3Ax with two extra indicator lights on the back of the bus and at the side.

those LO3x's belong to 97, for possible use on 97e. see the same thing on the O.405's on 97? there u go.Originally posted by SBS9845X:Went to Jurong East Int and saw a few LO3Ax with two extra indicator lights on the back of the bus and at the side. (Driver's Side if im not wrong.)

310G is a bus specially reserved for museum charters. thus, though it has ez-link card reader, it has no standing pax as it is impratical and dangerous for school kids to stand at the area instead of providing seats for all of them.
i suppose u saw 310G in action for the NDP right? i also spotted the bus on NDP charters myself last saturday, doing shuttles for Ang Mo Kio ITE. -
nope you are all wrong thereOriginally posted by SBS9845X:Not to forget, the SBST MB0405, SBS 310 G with BLUE Aircon dunno whats that called on the interior of the bus and it is the only SBST 0405 with no standing area.
theres another MBO405 DM with no standee.. i took it countless times. its SBS293Y on service 268. has a OKI colour printer ad now.. wonderful bus..
