SBS9385G (BB 74) on 166 Broke Down along Upp Thomson Rd at the Sisters Of The Poor bus stop at around 4:00pm. -
Sometimes stop at the side of the road, BC standing outside does not equate to bus breaking down. I've seen 9035S stop at 1 bus-stop near a coffeeshop just to grab lunch! And at peak hr, a drive through SKG would reveal many buses waiting at the side of road, especially true for svc 27, 80.

If you take the 199 route around 5.30 to 6pm, you'll see each bus stop occupied by a 179 bus along the Hall 12 to 15 area!Originally posted by SBS3625D:Sometimes stop at the side of the road, BC standing outside does not equate to bus breaking down.

Anyway, a 251 was being towed at BNL...
Both number plates were covered, the back with the ON TOW sign, the front with the towing mechanism, so dunno what rego...
Not breakdown, but 9800A at BNL was being filled something by a mechanic on the nearside of the bus, under the A/C grilles... -
ever wondered why LRT allowed our buses to be upgraded to such a huge CC? n noticed how they spewed so much black smoke ... anyone knows how they keep this in check (the black smoke) ?

Would it be a bendy by any chance?Originally posted by samtlk:Anyone know/hear anything about the NR2 bus (WLDEP) which caught fire along BKE towards Woodlands just after the KJE exit yesterday morning at around 4.30am. -
NR2 doesn't use bendies.Originally posted by stooper:Would it be a bendy by any chance? -
Yes it does, during festive seasons.Originally posted by samtlk:NR2 doesn't use bendies. -
That's only the year-end festive season when Orchard Rd is packed like sardines. Normal NR services don't use bendies cos the part-time drivers aren't allowed to drive them.Originally posted by off_service:Yes it does, during festive seasons. -
