i think you are wrong....LO3x were the majority fleet on Sv 190 until it was transferred to tibs... although there are some vo3x in the fleet also... it was almost full add fleet. seldom got aircon sd on sv 190Originally posted by TIB1018B:In 1994-1995, VO2x and VO3x replaced the Leyland buses. Some Volvo MK4s were also introduced.
For those days, 190 was operated with a mixture of MK3s, Striders and VO3x. -

Adding on, LAs once served on this route as well.Originally posted by iveco:Svc 61 ever had Merc O305s from HGDEP. -
106 never had any VO2Xes. In fact, Volvo buses were rare on this route as AM Merc O405s and LO3Xes featured more prominently. However, 190 did have them.
188 was introduced in March 1999. On the same day, 10 was shortened to Kent Ridge.
61 had VO3Xes from the start. All BB and HG routes soon became Volvo-dominated. -
Remember see the poster along AYE then.Originally posted by SBS9611D:On the same day, 10 was shortened to Kent Ridge. -
Adding on, which depot controlled 77 when it was still a Marina Ctr-Farrer Dr loop service? Was it AMDEP-controlled like 400?

I guess so.Originally posted by SBS9611D:Adding on, which depot controlled 77 when it was still a Marina Ctr-Farrer Dr loop service? Was it AMDEP-controlled like 400? -

A number of Ex-106 LO3Xes also wound up on 166, like 9033, 9084 & 9143. -
Old Jurong Depot / Bus Park.Originally posted by TIB1133B:NAC Merc? Which depot was it from?
During the SBS days, CCK services 172, 175 and 188 were controlled by Jurong whereas services 185, 190, 300, 302 and 307 were controlled by Bt Batok. Service 67 was controlled by both Bt Batok and Bedok Nth.
After Tibs took over these services, Kranji took control of all CCK services except partial control of 67 which is from AMK. -
9006, 9007, 9051 also under 166. They are also ex-106 perm LO3x.Originally posted by TIB1133B:That was 9628. Now on 166.

9199 was also on 166.

then in the bukit panjang days, did the buses park at the woodlands depot? (the one at the junction of woodlands rd/ kranji MRT)?
-
Don't think so, but only BBDEP was all along there serving Jurong East, Bt Batok, CCK & Bt Panjang Services.Originally posted by 105090:then in the bukit panjang days, did the buses park at the woodlands depot? (the one at the junction of woodlands rd/ kranji MRT)?
When SBS handed its WDL services to TIBS, SBS WLDEP closed down in the 1980s, according to the earlier threads. -
Those VO2x of 190 was the Most Shiok Thing in the past...
-
Other than services 198, 506 and the current 160, Bt Batok have never operated any of the Jurong East / Boon Lay services before. All are operated by the old Jurong Bus Park followed by the new Soon Lee multi-storey depotOriginally posted by Apex-LW'21:Don't think so, but only BBDEP was all along there serving Jurong East, Bt Batok, CCK & Bt Panjang Services.
(If so, u would have seen more Striders and MK3s on services like 78, 79, 97, 98, 143, 183, JE feeders etc......
)
For your info, Kent Ridge services 151 and 200 were also once operated by Jurong. It was later transferred over to Bt Batok / Ayer Rajah somewhere in 1999 when CCK services were transferred over to Tibs. -

Have seen service 66 with partial MB0405 fleets all the while, all should be under Jurong / Soon Lee. The Volvo fleets are mainly from Bedok Nth, some from Jurong / Soon Lee too.Originally posted by SBS9889U:I thought 66 was under BB before going to SL?
