TVM was launched on 14 Feb 2001 Valentines' Day.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:On 28 Feb 2001, TV Mobile was launched on SBS. There was also a radio system on Svc 7, featured music from Class 95FM.
SBS 9381 S also had the radio playing 95FM music on service 14 back in the late 90s. -
and SBS 9405 H on sv99 too...had a working radio playing Class95 until TV Mobile was installed.Originally posted by tranquilice:SBS 9381 S also had the radio playing 95FM music on service 14 back in the late 90s. -
I saw the 'PIONEER & CLASS 95FM' ads on a TIBS bendy, I think the bendy was used to have the radio installed.Originally posted by samtlk:and SBS 9405 H on sv99 too...had a working radio playing Class95 until TV Mobile was installed.
For TV Mobile long public trial in 1999 (not 2001), when does it ends? -
And the bodywork is hugely different. Whhy not we pong the bus together?Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:SBS9889U came to Singapore in 2002. Am I right? -
SBS9888Y has VOLGREN bodywork, while SBS9889U has its own Comfort DelGro bodywork.Originally posted by SBS9828X:And the bodywork is hugely different. Whhy not we pong the bus together? -
What makes SBS9888Y and the other Volvo B10TL different when they have the same bodywork?Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:SBS9888Y has VOLGREN bodywork, while SBS9889U has its own Comfort DelGro bodywork. -
Ngee Ann City? Are you sure? All I know was that the exhibitions were held at World Trade Centre and when that closed down it was held at Suntec City Convention Centre.Originally posted by SGEMP:Ya...that exbition in early 1999....held in Ngee Ann City......
Before that cards on this were distributed thru guides racks at all SBS ints.
(I had collected such cards before but I do not know where they had gone to............) -
It's because 9888Y came first. It was launched in 1999, 4 years before the rest of the B10TL. It is also the only B10TL with a ZF gearbox and a flip-dot electronic destination sign (EDS). TVMobile was launched with this bus too.Originally posted by TIB529A:What makes SBS9888Y and the other Volvo B10TL different when they have the same bodywork? -
1688K was never used on 7. It was used on 36.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:SBS1688K was the first bus before SBS2888T on Svc 7. -

The TVMobile trial was conducted in SBS2888T (back then HGDEP 7) -
What about the SUPER RIDERS sticker? I saw that sticker on the far rear exit door of one bendy, TIB882D.Originally posted by SBS9818A:TIB 849B has the Pioneer speakers installed.

On 15 Nov 2002, all sales and revaluation of magnetic farecards had stopped and all passengers must switch to ez-link, as all magnetic farecards will become invalid for travelling from 1 Dec 2002 onwards. Refunds & replacement of valid magnetic farecards can only be made at TransitLink Ticket Office @ Buona Vista. (Refunded for up to 4 years & Replacement for 2 years from last revalution or purchase of farecards)
Anyway, Svc 238 & 261 were the first feeder svcs to give PAC status in 1999, if I'm not wrong. -
The sentence in blue seems to say that magnetic farecards were phased out (went out of use) at the same time as the start of ez-link usage, which would be untrue - they coexisted for some months, as your next para mentioned.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:... ez-link card starts it debut on 1 Apr 2002, with the phasing out of magnetic farecards.

I mean the production of magnetic farecards had stopped, as well as the SMRT Thematic Ticket Series.Originally posted by kc_leung:The sentence in blue seems to say that magnetic farecards were phased out (went out of use) at the same time as the start of ez-link usage, which would be untrue - they coexisted for some months, as your next para mentioned.
The Standard Ticket was launched on 14 Oct 2002, at the same time, Single Trip Tickets were no longer in use. -
When New World Hotel collapsed on 15 Mar 1986, any bus diversion after the hotel was collapsed, in view of clearing the debris at the junction of Serangoon Rd & Owen Rd? I think for the MRT underground works (not NEL), there is a disruption and most workers went to the scene of the hotel collapse.

I remember there was some kind of trial on service 96 using some kind of "Smart Rider" system many years ago. The buses involved had a blue reader installed, but it was subsequently removed.

Smart Rider by TransitLink in 1992? I also saw it on some MB OF1417 & Volvo B57. On Svc 96, mostly on Volvo Mk IIs & Scania N113CRBs.Originally posted by iveco:I remember there was some kind of trial on service 96 using some kind of "Smart Rider" system many years ago.

Not so far back. I am talking about 1996-97. Seen the device on Mk II and Mk III buses serving on 96.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:Smart Rider by TransitLink in 1992? I also saw it on some MB OF1417 & Volvo B57. On Svc 96, mostly on Volvo Mk IIs & Scania N113CRBs. -

I remember sum time back... about 1996 or 1997. I had taken a VO2X from dunno wer. I clearly remember it was terminating at bedok. We wanted to go home thinking of changing bus there.(my house was at jln turi) The service Turned left at the junction before Still road. But then the bus stopped at the 2nd busstop. I remember seeing a few other buses there too. The BC told us to alight and gave sum sort of ticket. They said that no bus from here will go back to bedok. So we had to cross to the other side and took another bus home.
Wat i want to know is that are they having a riot against SBS then or wat? -
hmm 1997 u say eh?
hmmmm
well i could present you with this:
the vo2x service could be 14 or.. maybe 10 or 196?
