ANyway, off-topic, my mistake, I had mentioned SBST in my previous post.Originally posted by SBS9828X:Wait! stop. To stop even more confusion, check ur previous post and see who mentioned SBST in the first place!
If you check the SBST website, it was 1 Nov 2001 for corporate name change. On 28 Nov 2001, Transport Minister Yeo Cheow Tong officially launched the new corporate name, SBS Transit.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:28 Nov 2001 i think

In that case, I will begin another topic.Originally posted by lemon1974:You are the one who is causing all these confusion, with the mix up in the company name, bus guides and TL guides.... THere are no SBST or TL Guides in the 80s.
Earlier post, u mentioned that they are JIS operated by SBST , which did not appear in TL guides. Then another post, u mentioned that it was withdrawn in 1986. If it is withdrawn in 1986, it will never appear on TL guides then.. It is very confusing with your contradicting posts...

Anyone knows about the Renault PR100.2 (SBS30P) & Isuzu BDTIZCHSS (SBS1517X)? I saw the Renault PR100.2 bus on AIRCON 3 but I don't know that particular Isuzu bus where it plies on.
————————————————————————————————————————
The first bus to be purchased by TIBS was the Hino RK176. It served on the first 2 svcs in 1983: SVC 160 & 167.
It later passed on to plies on Svc 161, 164, 169, 178, 180, 181, 182, 204 & 208 in 1983 and then to Yishun & Woodlands feeder svcs in 1986.
The 11 svcs were NOT introduced by TIBS, but taken over from SBS in 1983. -

TIBS 925 replaced the two TIBS Svc 204 & 208 in 1985.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:When was the 204 and 208 withdrawn? -
SBS4292Z was a Nissan Diesel RX102, not Nissan Diesel 4R94.
(Taken from 'SINGAPORE BUSES Vol. 1, SINGAPORE BUS SERVICE Part One, DTS Publishing, May 2005). -
I still think 925 isnt really efficent in serving Kranji and Sungei Kadut. With it being a 20min. trip bus, and that Sundays and PH it doesnt goes into Sungei Kadut isnt very helpful.
A portion of Kranji Loop (where 925 turns left after the depot, this portion is turn right) isnt served by 925. 204/208 served there.
Sungei Kadut is quite a large place with a lot of warehouses and heavy industries, comparable to Jurong in terms of industries (but not size). Therefore, now, 925 also only serves a small portion of Sungei Kadut, but not nearly the whole estate, and accessibility to Sungei Kadut by public bus is technically impossible except for a small section adjacent to Kranji Way.
Workers staying in Sungei Kadut will find travelling on sundays a headache..
A role model will be certain SBS-served areas such as Jurong, Tuas, etc etc. Theres buses even on Sundays, PHs, and running until 11pm! -
Svc 925 terminates at Woodlands Int last time and now it extended to Choa Chu Kang Int. That's why Svc 925 also only serves a small portion of Sungei Kadut.
There is also a recent amendment of Svc 925C, I think it was extended to Neo Tiew Rd/Cres in 2005, not last time.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Maybe it is time to build Singai Kadut MRT station to solve the transportation woes of those workers in that area.

There was a long public-trial of TV Mobile in 1999 on Svc 7. On 28 Feb 2001, TV Mobile was launched on SBS. There was also a radio system on Svc 7, featured music from Class 95FM.

Before that cards on this were distributed thru guides racks at all SBS ints.

SBS9889U was on TV Mobile livery before SBST livery in 2001 (I saw this bus on one of the SBS newsletter). Is it true?

SBS9889U? Do you mean SBS9888Y.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:SBS9889U was on TV Mobile livery before SBST livery in 2001 (I saw this bus on one of the SBS newsletter). Is it true? -
It could be SBS9888Y, since I forgot the rego when I saw the SBS newsletter, so I think whether is 9888 or 9889.Originally posted by 5454:SBS9889U? Do you mean SBS9888Y. -
