haha, so u guys think what will be the next sv to get B9TL?
could it be 166 since it bypasses so many hospitals,
Mt Alvernia Hospital (Thomson Rd), Riding for the Disabled Assn of S'pore (Thomson Rd), Thomson Medical Centre, Tan Tock Seng, Ren Ci Hospital, KK Women and Children's Hospital, SGH, Alexandra Hospital (very nearby) and NUH (very nearby)
or Sv 197
St Andrew's Community Hospital, Raffles Hospital, SGH, Alexandra Hospital, NUH -

Don't take then. I, unlike you do not have any chance of taking the bus (Svc 21) Stop complaining. Skip the B9TL and take other buses , that's a simple solution.Originally posted by QX5216J:theres nth really special abt the B9TLs to me except that it uses Aloca rims, different emergency hammer, and the tix thats all...

Agreed. Sometimes i would only spend on any Saturdays to take the B9TLs since i live in the North-WestOriginally posted by K800i:Don't take then. I, unlike you do not have any chance of taking the bus (Svc 21) Stop complaining. Skip the B9TL and take other buses , that's a simple solution. -

So far this bus is having this wierd problem , I think they may need to take that bus in maintainance for a thorough check.Originally posted by sexy girls:today i took SBS 7304 D, heard some sounds and the bus engine suddenly off by itself at Pasir Ris Dr 6, Blk 429. the driver restarted the engine twice but unsuccessful. so he wait for 5 mins before restarting again, this time it works -

Let me challenge you!
I dare to ask, do you have sufficient coverage about the Volvo B9TL's interior?
[b]NO!!!
SBS9818A, your coverage about the Volvo B9TL's interior is TERRIBLY INADEQUATE!!!
Say what say, you DON'T even know what are the most important parts of Volvo B9TL!!!
Your collection even missed out the wheelchair space and ramp which are exclusive to Volvo B9TL!!!
Clearly, you have wasted your chances on that very launch ceremony......by forgetting about the wheelchair ramps/spaces!!!
So, to anyone here (except me and SBS9818A) :
For fairness sake, please judge on whose is better. Thank you.

Most of us here are bus fans or at least automotives fans. Whoever has a better album should refrain from putting down the other people's album. Because it's other people's efforts. Whoever thinks that he has the best coverage should think again. There're other people who have even better coverage of the B9TL. There's always a higher peak.
Let's just enjoy the buses and make constructive remarks and receive constructive criticism. -
I judge that you are better....Originally posted by SGEMP:For fairness sake, please judge on whose is better. Thank you.
in putting down other people's efforts and declare yours is the best.
Which i find it very childish.
GROW UP! -
my friend says he saw a B9TL chassis on tow at upper serangoon rd going towards hougang

SBST is buying another 50 B9TL's to make it 200?
SBS Transit Submits Application For Minor Fare Adjustment
"While the company is still profitable, a fare adjustment is necessary also to ensure that it continues to earn sufficient money to be able to invest in its operations so as to improve its services. Buying new buses, for instance, costs money. Last year, we purchased 150 new air-conditioned, double-deck buses which are also low-floor and wheelchair-accessible. These 150 buses cost about $75 million. This year, we have just recently exercised our option to buy another 50 of these buses which will cost another $25 million. These investments do not come cheap and will be difficult to contemplate for any loss-making operator."

Wonder why SBST didn't buy 200 B9TLs instead... -
dun think the scania's+mk ii's can tong until CCL opens.Originally posted by brotherchen1982:150 B9TLs cost about $75 millions & 50 B9TLs cost $25 millions!!!

even stage 2 has been confirmed to cover top only around end of 2009. so likely the whole thing open together in 2010 lor. -
You see... One thing that I learnt in SBST. The money that's used to buy the buses are our hard earned money. This money is siphoned out of our earnings to invest in tools that strengthens customer service.Originally posted by brotherchen1982:150 B9TLs cost about $75 millions & 50 B9TLs cost $25 millions!!!

Every cent that's used to spend on the buses are paid by commuters. Every step we take that involves money must be justified. We don't enjoy raising fares for nothing. That's why steps are to be taken progressively. Not to jump and risk losing our balance. Don't buy unless we need it.
The room for profit expanding is very limited for SBST. So every step must be carefully planned before we actually 'step' forward to make a commitment.
Alas, not all my colleagues practice the art of cost control. Some of them jump into deals of purchase but didn't realise that they're losing more than they gain only much later.
