I like the idea of the plug door-it swings out instead of coming in. I took this video to demonstrate how plug doors work.Originally posted by SBS9806J:Take video of SBS9822L for what? Just door squeaky, that's all. Or is there anything else different about it that I did not see?
And SBS 9806J sadly does not have the door closing warning chime. -
Why are newer buses plug-door?

"The plug door can prevent hot air and dust being brought into the saloon from outside, ensuring the saloon remains clean at all times. It also minimises saloon intrusion, providing more usable saloon space for passengers."Originally posted by SBS9806J:Why are newer buses plug-door? -
Hi,
Today I took SBS2663A on SV156. When the bus accelerate, there is some sort of whistling sound. Does anyone know what causes it. I have taken other MKIV (Strider) and have heard this sound too. -
Yes, the bus has been re-stickered again.Originally posted by chickenlittle2:Is SBS 560B restickered? Does it replace the black rubber at the side? -
You 100% sure?Originally posted by SBS9888Y:ya... -

Had all the Scanias (Including SBS 0042E, SBS 0065P, SBS 0072T...) been BNDEP buses before? I just don't want the Scanias to go to other depots, though you would complain of the bad things a Scania bus have.
On the other hand, had long time BNDEP Scanias gone onto other depots before? I heard that SBS 3721J did... -

This is the route of 141 from the earliest record I have, the 1979-80 guide.Originally posted by bus555:anyone know what the original for 141 because i cant find anymore detail from here http://www.sgwiki.com/wiki/Svcs_120_to_141#Service_141 eh anyone what happen to the service??
141: Toa Payoh – Prince Edward Rd
Toa Payoh Centre, Lor 6, Slip Rd, Kim Keat Ave, Toa Payoh East, Lor 7, Lor 6, Lor 4, Lor 6, u-turn in front of SAFRA, back along Lor 6, Flyover, Jln Toa Payoh, Jln Datoh, Balestier Rd, Norfolk Rd, Rangoon Rd, Kitchener Rd, Jln Besar, Bencoolen St, Bras Basah Rd, Nicoll Highway, Connaught Dr, Fullerton Rd, Collyer Quay, Raffles Quay, Shenton Way and Prince Edward Rd.

The route was amended in the 1986 guide.
141: Toa Payoh – Cecil St (loop), OMO 60c
Toa Payoh Int, Lor 2, Flyover, Jln Toa Payoh, Thomson Rd, Newton Rd, Clemenceau Ave, Orchard Rd, Bras Basah Rd, Nicoll Highway, Connaught Dr, Fullerton Rd, Collyer Quay, Raffles Quay, Shenton Way, Keppel Rd, Anson Rd and Cecil St (loop).

141, as well as 140, was missing in the 1988 guide, suggesting that it was withdrawn somewhere in 1987. It was probable that its demise was caused by the Phase I opening of the MRT system from Yio Chu Kang - Clementi.

3721 is Ex-145 perm. 3639 served on 124 (AMDEP) and 16 (BNDEP). 3653, 3682 & 3700 were BRAM buses before being deployed on 33 (Ex-HGDEP route).Originally posted by TWS4793:Had all the Scanias (Including SBS 0042E, SBS 0065P, SBS 0072T...) been BNDEP buses before?

So had SBS 3721J gone to depots like BBDEP or AMDEP before?Originally posted by iveco:3721 is Ex-145 perm. 3639 served on 124 (AMDEP) and 16 (BNDEP). 3653, 3682 & 3700 were BRAM buses before being deployed on 33 (Ex-HGDEP route). -
Perhaps it is too old.Originally posted by swee_heng:What happened to 3676G? Why is it scrapped?
By the way, had this bus met an accident before? This could be one reason why it got scrapped. -
I remember 96 had Scanias for a short period in 1990. ARBP may have borrowed them from BRAM or BNDEP.Originally posted by TWS4793:So had SBS 3721J gone to depots like BBDEP or AMDEP before? -

One random question:
Anybody still remember the time when the last Harry Potter movie was shown here? At that time, they turned a VO3X Batch III bus into a Knight Bus from the movie for promotional purposes; does anyone know which was the bus that got the magical treatment? Which route/depot was it from, and where is it now? Did it ever go into normal service during the time it was a Knight Bus, much like the Nokia Music Mobile? -
One of the Mk3 on Sv 3 has the car decal below.
Did anyone spot the rego for the bus? (if not wrong, it bears the Road courtesy ad)
