Yeah, but 9088P is on A/P shift while 9162H does cameos on other svcs...Originally posted by brotherchen1982:Still on svc 179 or do cameo for other SLBP svcs.
The 3 A/P shift buses are very unconfirmed... They seem to be changing daily... Some days all 3 DD, sometimes, 2 DD 1 SD, sometimes 1DD, 2 SD.
The timesheet is schelduled for 2 SD & 1 DD though. 9088P is usually seen on 3A, 6P, although it's a SD timsheet...

Why they need to change the above buses to "SP" or 179 standby? They can still use it as cross-over between 242 & 179. Other buses doing X-over now can be do their job?Originally posted by brotherchen1982:Still on svc 179 or do cameo for other SLBP svcs. -
See the SG wiki part on 179 x-oversOriginally posted by chickenlittle2:Why they need to change the above buses to "SP" or 179 standby? They can still use it as cross-over between 242 & 179. Other buses doing X-over now can be do their job?
All the crossovers are still present on the previous Weekday and present Special1 timetable.
8 xovers to 242, 2 to 255.
That means all 179 buses except the 3 A/P shift do x-overs now.
But I feel it's still not enough buses... In the evening peak, almost every bus is packed the door when coming back to BNL. -
May I know where you get the info that those buses are 'SP'???Originally posted by chickenlittle2:Why they need to change the above buses to "SP" or 179 standby? They can still use it as cross-over between 242 & 179. Other buses doing X-over now can be do their job?
If the load for svc 179 during holidays term is low, why deploy some many DDs on svc 179 when other svcs need more DDs?
Also, those bus need to go for maintanence. -

i was wondering, got cases before sbs bus tires break? beocs rethreaded tyres usually don't last long. Seen several times fragments from broken tyres scattered on the highway in malaysia and i can still remember on incident very clearly. A tyre from a truck broke and the whole tyre (not including rims) flung off and broke into 2 and each hige piece landed directly on the middle of each lane. Luckly my uncle manage to see it in time and avoid it.

generally inline or boxer-style 4-cylinder for single-decks and 6-cylinder for double-decks.Originally posted by SBS9828X:how many cylinders does each bus have? Engine specs? V6? V8? or best, V12? -

cant believe a 9liter veh with only four strokes? -
yeah, each about 2.4 litres. bus engines are big in the first place mah.... ADD: and they need that big cylinders to generate the torque required to drive the bus....Originally posted by SBS9828X:the cylinders must be big hor

Its the bhp that matters more I think, and the CRB is trubo-charged while the MB0405 is not.

thought the MK4DM3500 shares engine with the 96 VO3X??
-
The engine used is the same, just that one is horizontally mounted behind the front axle while the other is transversely mounted at the rear.Originally posted by SBS9828X:thought the MK4DM3500 shares engine with the 96 VO3X?? -
But the power output is the sameOriginally posted by iveco:The engine used is the same, just that one is horizontally mounted behind the front axle while the other is transversely mounted at the rear. -
yes for the exported B10MA's. SMRT's O405G uses a turbocharged version of the 12-litre engine used by O405's.Originally posted by iveco:How about artics? Same specs as SD?
