The DDs on service 179
-
Is all the DDs from sv 179 crossover of sv 242 also?
-
Not all. But I know some are from bus service 242. Normally SBS will deploy those old DD air con buses to ply for service 179 even though quite a number of buses fail to climb up the "Devil Slope".

The older ones like the LO3x.Originally posted by Erwin_Rommel:Not all. But I know some are from bus service 242. Normally SBS will deploy those old DD air con buses to ply for service 179 even though quite a number of buses fail to climb up the "Devil Slope". -
Yeah, they are LO3x.Originally posted by Erwin_Rommel:Not all. But I know some are from bus service 242. Normally SBS will deploy those old DD air con buses to ply for service 179 even though quite a number of buses fail to climb up the "Devil Slope".
There are no way the newer VO3x's will ever be deployed on Service 179 as there are none in Soon Lee Bus Park.

I also saw VO2x.Originally posted by ^tamago^:Yeah, they are LO3x.

With the exception of SBS9024Z I have seen the other 179 DDs being deployed on 242 as well.

I've just addied this into SGwiki and it now shows the 179/242/255 crossovers in detail here, at the bottom of the page.

199/242/243 has crossovers as well.
The bus in ????? for the Holiday Timetable is because it changes everyday... So far, only Mercs and VO2x have been under that timeslot. The A/P shift buses for the Holiday Timetable changes everyday as well. -
Some LO3x are perm on both svcs (eg. LO3x do either on 2 svcs, 179/242)Originally posted by stooper:I've just addied this into SGwiki and it now shows the 179/242/255 crossovers in detail here, at the bottom of the page.

All the 179/242 LOs are perm on 179. All have the 179 stickers and the Timesheet indicates that the service is 179, with the 242/255 parts highlighted.
The same for the 242, 255 buses x-overing to 179. They have the 179 parts highlighted. -

Then how about the O405s of 179? does they do crossovers to 242 as well?Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:VO2x: 179/255, LO3x: 179/242 -
SBS3863H: 3 crossoversOriginally posted by ah-soh:Then how about the O405s of 179? does they do crossovers to 242 as well?
(Svc 179/242/EB36)
SBS3755L: 3 crossovers
(Svc 179/242/EB)
BTW, the topic is referring to DDs, not SDs. -
The 179 O405s are not schelduled to do crossovers. BUT both(3858Z, 3905X) of them carry 242 plates as well.Originally posted by ah-soh:Then how about the O405s of 179? does they do crossovers to 242 as well?
In the Weekday Timetable, 3858Z and 9088P are exchanged occasionally, and 3905X and 9092B are also exchanged as well.
9088P is the 1st 179 bus to leave the depot, followed by 3858Z.
3905X is the 4th to leave and 9092B the 5th. So sometimes, they get swapped around if the other one is not available for service. -
From what i observed for some DDs/SDs for sv179, the morning X-overs are early svcs for sv242, then the buses return to sv179.
The VO2Xs are X-over from sv255 during the morning peak after their 1st run -
The website link given is quite accurate , but at certain point of times not all the dd bus liscense nos : e.g SBS 9088P always serves 242 during the peak hours , and if you say that sbs 3755L cross over from 242 to 179 during the peak all these info are not accurate .
it all depends on the bus drivers time tables . lets say that a driver that has a times table that crosses over from 242 to 179 and uses the bus 3755L . the next day the driver might just use another bus and follows his time table and cross over from 242 to 179 . it all depends on which driver takes the bus for the day / week . and it also goes for the cross over times tables . the times tables the driver takes are also used for a week .
if a driver that has a crossover timetable and uses SBS 3783E . for the whole week that bus will be crossing over .
btw , have you ever noticed that some bus drivers always stick to the same buses they drive everyday ? and sometimes they use other buses .. it is kinda hard to understand -

So far from what I've observed for 179, most of the S/E shift drivers will move one shift up every week except for 2 drivers. But they won't cover all 3 E shifts. They'll only cover 1 E shift and the drop back down to the first S shift. (11S for Weekday/7S for Holiday).

One driver covered 7238L for most of the Weekday 28 & 29 timetable and 9062M of the Holiday1 23 timetable.
Another one covered 7236S for most of the Weekday 28 & 29 timetable and covered the bus which changes everyday for the present Holiday1 23 timetable.
Right now on Holiday timetable, 9088P thru 9162H are used as SPs and are thrown around everywhere.
The 179 timetable Weekday is rather stable... Everyday has the same bus on the same timesheet, but the 242 one is not as stable... I have seen the 242 to 179 xover been replaced by 113J, 3820G and even a DD before!
The 255 to 179 xover isn't stable as well. It has changed between these: 7217Y, 7218S, 7219J, 7229M, 7230H -
yup . you are right ,
and btw whenever you enter an SBS bus look at the top of drivers side window usually u can see a label that shows a bus no ( E.G 243 , S , SP , 502 , bla bla bla ) and that particular bus will always be used for that svc except certain times -

You think that sticker there for you to shuang shuang look ah? That one perm sticker!!!
And your post doesn't make sense. SBS doesn't exist anymore. It's SBS Transit. And it isn't label sometimes. Sometimes it's just white marker. And S label? No such thing. And is there a particular svc called SP since you claimed the sticker will tell you its perm service? -
