Nostalgia on Buses

BNDEP got so many spare NAC Scanias? I thought BRAM had more of them for 90 & 94.Originally posted by 105090:its interesting to note that, more than 95% of scanias (OAC, CAC) are in Bedok Depot, and half of NAC are from Bedok as well.. amazing! -

AMDEP as well, Sv 125, 186 nia
For BNDEP, practically only Sv 6, 35, 37, 293, 358, 359, 403 uses NAC CRBs -
What is the exact date of TIBS svc 181 becoming 961?
When did TIBS svc 5 disappear? -
I don't think its 95% , its around 80% . Don't forget that AMK and braddel has a number of scanias buses as well . Bndepot are left with very few NAC scanias , most of the nac scanias are based in AMK/Braddel depot.Originally posted by 105090:its interesting to note that, more than 95% of scanias (OAC, CAC) are in Bedok Depot, and half of NAC are from Bedok as well.. amazing! -

the great BP/ CCK overhaul of bus services.. does anyone has a copy of the flyer which TIBS used to distrbute to households then? (those blue and white gigantic flyer)Originally posted by iveco:Boxing day 1999. -
Most NAC scanias are used for Training Buses.. no wonder..Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:I don't think its 95% , its around 80% .

still, its difficult to get a long ride on NAC scanias.. the longest possible route is sv35 or sv90 or 186.. cant enjoy maximally.. -
Don't be surprised to see NAC scania buses deploy on main trunk services like svc 30 or any other bndepot svcs . If that happens, that is a sign that the buses are going off the roads soon.Originally posted by 105090:Most NAC scanias are used for Training Buses.. no wonder..

Sunday 27 December 1998. Services 160 and 181 were renumbered 980 and 961 respectively, and relocated on this day with the closure of Crawford Street terminal.Originally posted by Marco_Simone:What is the exact date of TIBS svc 181 becoming 961? -

Did JRDEP (Penjuru) ever supply buses for Kent Ridge Terminal? It sys on another thread that this terminal is under Jurong East route group.

It does supply buses to SV151 during 1996-1999. Not sure what happen after that. Used to take OAC MB0405 to NUS during that period.Originally posted by iveco:Did JRDEP (Penjuru) ever supply buses for Kent Ridge Terminal?

Later on those Mercs wound up on 98 in 1998 when some FAC routes were downgraded to PAC and some PAC ones became FAC.Originally posted by lemon1974:It does supply buses to SV151 during 1996-1999. Not sure what happen after that. Used to take OAC MB0405 to NUS during that period.
These days, it is BBDEP that takes responsibility for Kent Ridge. Gives the impression that Clementi Interchange supervises this terminal. -

Things are more complex than they appear on paper. There is a reason why HG is grouped with the West. Basically, it involves some corporate downsizing.Originally posted by alex_cai92:it is so strange tat HGDEP is under west....it is more to the east side den AMK -
OK, I have found something that could be of interest to Alex Cai. Just note that Eunos & Serangoon interchanges have been swapped, that's all.
