Nostalgia on Buses

erm... 323 i got no idea but if used on 42, most prolly is due to the cramped and winding road. My memory dun stretch all the way back till even b4 i am born unlike sum pplOriginally posted by CAIX:Why does SBS Transit use the 811D ? It has low seating capacity. Maybe it is use on low demand services ? -
Svc 42, yup, they used MB 811Ds in 2002. For Svc 323, last time used NAC Volvo B10M MkIIs. As Svc 323 has lesser demand nowadays, they used MB 811Ds, after Svc 20 withdrawn in 2001.Originally posted by SBS9828X:erm... 323 i got no idea but if used on 42, most prolly is due to the cramped and winding road.

Svc 323 was withdrawn in 2002, as more than half of its journey had no passengers. -

I recalled that Svc 179 (CCK–Bt Panjang) used MB O405G Bendies & MB O405 (Volgren) as well as Svc 344/345 used NAC MB O405 Buses in 1998.
For Svc 343, they used NAC Nissan Diesel U31SCN & Hino HT238K buses. Correct me if I'm wrong. -

OLD BUS TICKETS

I remember that there was a promotion long time ago:
You will have to find 'red spots' & 'blue square' in the bus, then you must fill in the bus regos that have any two patterns and drop it at any SBS interchanges. -

Here is the full story of the MB 811D minibuses...
[*]In 1992, SBS introduced 5 Mercedes Benz 811D minibuses that were bodied by a local company called Asia Coach. These buses were initially deployed on services M1 and M2. In 1994, Dennis Darts replaced the 811Ds of the two services. The 811Ds were then deployed on the newly introduced service 20. After service 20 merged with service 125 on 27 Nov 2000, these buses disappeared for a while, only to reappear on service 323. When service 323 was withdrawn on 24 February 2002, these buses once again disappeared. In June 2002, these buses were spotted on services 42, 182 and 183. They were used only for a very brief period of time before being de-registered by November 2002. Interestingly, one of these 5 buses, SBS8005K, was repainted in the new livery before being de-registered. All 5 buses were sold by February 2003. -
In addition, there was also the green star. All these campaigns took place in 1993.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:I remember that there was a promotion long time ago:

In 1999, SBS had introduced Sv 402 from Bedok to S'pore Expo. It was an ad-hoc service with limited stops. Withdrawn in 2002.
