-
Dun hav ur hopes high up....
im just addressing the issue on SMRT's reused buses...
is TIB 1257 C (former CSS310U) the latest addition? Is there more?...
and so it seems that SMRT is really stickin to the TIB rego...
SMRT not considerin of buyin new buses ey??
new buses should be bought in my opinion...the Nissans are rather uncomfortable....i been hearin too many complains on board the buses.. -
TIB1257C is formerly CSS310U. And i think thats the latest SMRT Buses.

TIB 1257 C...is it the one that was on sv.852? That's the biggest TIB number i've seen so far.
Actually I prefer the Colours of TIBS more than the plain red of SMRT -
was, i unsure. now on 980. i too prefer TIBS livery than SMRT's.Originally posted by finoq:TIB 1257 C...is it the one that was on sv.852? That's the biggest TIB number i've seen so far.

just look at the svc guides of any no. e.g. 61 in TIBS and SMRT compare...Originally posted by finoq:TIB 1257 C...is it the one that was on sv.852? That's the biggest TIB number i've seen so far.

You're wrong. TIB1257C was with CSS ever since it entered service until it got converted to a SMRT bus.Originally posted by ^tamago^:if i'm not wrong, 1257C came into service as TIB-plate first.... -
I miss the cartoon TIBS buses.... they are so cute.

no no. of the 10 buses (TIB1248D-TIB1257C), it came in as the first TIB-plate.... the UD came in later...Originally posted by SBS9818A:You're wrong. TIB1257C was with CSS ever since it entered service until it got converted to a SMRT bus. -

The answer is...
TIB1257C is a permanent bus of Service 980. -
They had a Bendy with a smiley face once.Originally posted by SBS1985C:I miss the cartoon TIBS buses.... they are so cute.

As well as on HINO HS3KRKA/Volgren.Originally posted by LazerLordz:They had a Bendy with a smiley face once.

They never had a Bendy with a smiley face. It was a Volgren body with Hino Chassis. I still have the newspaper cutting.Originally posted by LazerLordz:They had a Bendy with a smiley face once.
The TIB973 to TIB 1001 series of Articulated buses may give you the impression that it has a smiley on it, but in actual fact, that was part of the bodywork and was not intentional placed on the bus. Instead. TIB 950R has the honour of having the only similey painted on it, and it last at least for 2 years. -
I have a pics of the Hino bus with a smiley face and has been posted earlier on already.Originally posted by demag_ac:They never had a Bendy with a smiley face. It was a Volgren boy with Hino Chassis. I still have the newspaper cutting.

Yes, thank you very much. That photo can't see the rego.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:I have a pics of the Hino bus with a smiley face and has been posted earlier on already. -
It's ok to stick to the TIB plate as that gives the fleet some sense of its history & roots ! This SMRT label i find it largely of not too much relevance anyway as SMRT remains basically more associated with trains than buses or taxis etc. anyway.
As for new buses, i'll say their M-B O 405 still has many years usable service life ahead & also the projected bus population in time to come i.e. any increases ? If no (or even reduction) then likely remote chance of any new buses. If yes then high time they acquire the Citaro here or the least, the O 500 U !Originally posted by muziq bus:Dun hav ur hopes high up....

the Hispano MB0405s still look good despite its age.

Most of the seats of the Hispano MB0405s still remains intact.Originally posted by sinicker:the Hispano MB0405s still look good despite its age. -
But are very very dirty....Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:Most of the seats of the Hispano MB0405s still remains intact.
try hitting the seats with your hand.. -
They should not have selected fabric type of seat cover !
That's seems more appropriate for cold countries where people sweat less & tend to deposit less body etc. dirt behind on the seats.
In the tropicalised humid climate here, i'll have preferred the M-B tex type of seat cover, with plenty of ventilation thru the seats as such.
Perhaps the seat maker Vogel Sitze then didn't have that much variety of seat covers to offer ?Originally posted by stooper:But are very very dirty....

9889U has much better seats though... The fabric is by SBS themselves I think since you can see "SBS Transit" all over the seat.Originally posted by hseochin:Perhaps the seat maker Vogel Sitze then didn't have that much variety of seat covers to offer ?
