No favourtism of any sort is to be given to any places, buses are buses

theres a feeling 101 may be gettnig some NAC buses....
its load isnt very good for off peak.. when reach Buangkok already empty. its also one of the short-haul Serangoon service which is still FAC..
112 and 113 may also get even more NAC buses, like those WA ones.
or maybe some depots transfer their buses over like from Bedok or BB -

Long haul rts still gets NAC buses no matter how sardine packed they are -
a bit like Sv 89,
just that it serves the western region of hougang and sengkang and serangoon
a potential for DDs -

Seems tat SBST shows favouritism to all Sengkang/Punggol int services, give them FAC fleets. When come to Hougang n Serangoon int bound to have lots of NAC fleets
Eg like svcs 3, 136, 156 quietly converted to FAC once routes extend to Sengkang/Punggol
(PS: when svc 159 extend to Sengkang in 2001, poster did indicate tat sv 159 will become FAC)
However juz dun understand how come svc 82 oso got NAC even this svc pass by Sengkang/Punggol
-
119 may not, cos it is Sengkang svc.Originally posted by sbst275:115, 119 lor

had these Serangoon services remained at AMK Depot, none will be PAC status, because all of AMK's NAc MB O405 are all AC buses now. the only "downgrade" at AMK Depot buses is 265.. even the former 125 to shenton way was also FAC -
Quite true, buses like 103, 158, 315 and 317 were made FAC by AMK in the past with full fleet of MB0405s. Service 82 all the while was under HG before the rationalisation (AMK took over for a while before handing it back to HG againOriginally posted by 105090:because its Serangoon's bus ma.. now only gota watch for 101.. very unstable....

)
After taken over by HG, all of these buses were replaced inititally with FAC Volvo fleets. After some time, when services 34, 43 and 85 was introduced plus service 159 transferred over to HG in 2005, the above-mentioned services, also including service 82 were made PAC by HG with the NAC MK2s from there
Service 101 and 107 however was the other way round, under AMK was PAC. When transferred over to HG, these 2 services subsequently became FAC services
Somehow, Sengkang and Punggol services were not affected...they remain FAC thruout

Service 155 from BR/AMK was also affected too by NAC Scania busesOriginally posted by 105090:the only "downgrade" at AMK Depot buses is 265.. even the former 125 to shenton way was also FAC -
Juz wanna add on to svcs 82 & 103:-
These buses were oso operated as a PAC under Tibs (now SMRT) btw 1996-1999. When SBST took back these svcs in 1999, the poster oso mentioned as "SBS is here to serve u better" and converted these 2 svcs to FAC upon handover.
But wat happened nw?? Quietly back to PAC status once again, as if these 2 svcs kanna cheated by SBST
In fact if these 2 svcs are still under SMRT it could have been a FAC svcs till now
-
dont forget these 2 servives are the NEL victims.. and their loads had never been good since the rationalisation. that time 103 already no more seats at YCK rd (towards Town)Originally posted by vivienlee:Juz wanna add on to svcs 82 & 103:-

FavourtismOriginally posted by vivienlee:119 may not, cos it is Sengkang svc.
Maybe 115 become PAC or NAC since it is a short distance svc...
That's why whole day svs like 151 gets complains -
Yeah all thanks to the NELOriginally posted by 105090:dont forget these 2 servives are the NEL victims.. and their loads had never been good since the rationalisation. that time 103 already no more seats at YCK rd (towards Town)

Those NAC buses on 151 are majority ex-170 buses from Ayer Rajah / Bt Batok side.Originally posted by sbst275:Favourtism

You give favourtism to one service, ppl see it, they just get fed upOriginally posted by TIB1018B:Those NAC buses on 151 are majority ex-170 buses from Ayer Rajah / Bt Batok side. -
Especially service 82 before/after rationalisation.Originally posted by 105090:dont forget these 2 servives are the NEL victims.. and their loads had never been good since the rationalisation. that time 103 already no more seats at YCK rd (towards Town)
Before that got all the MK4s, VO3x and Dennis Tridants (also including SBS1688K that cameoed before )...all good buses from HG.
After rationalisation, initially were the MB0405s and some CAC Scanias from AMK. When back to HG in Sep 2004, were the Volvo MK2 CACs (some MK4 Striders and DM too)...no more DDs
Now...CAC MK2s
, NAC MK2s even come out 
(Still come across 1 or 2 MK4s too
) -
AC buses on 151 mainly MK4 Striders, abt 30% of fleet. Sometimes got MK2 CACs, MK3s......even 2day oso did see a MK4 DM3500 cameoing on itOriginally posted by sbst275:Favourtism

Sv 151 keep having LOTS of NAC buses day by day...Originally posted by sbst275:Favourtism

High time for sv 151 to have all NAC MK2s replaced with various MK3 & MK4s instead, if possible put in VO3x and Dennis Tridants too -
VO3X and Tridents? Won't happen...Originally posted by vivienlee:Sv 151 keep having LOTS of NAC buses day by day...

I heard that the Kent Ridge area got Height restriction...If im not wrong -
Not exactly height restrictions. The main problem is the steep slope @ Kent Ridge Crescent.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:VO3X and Tridents? Won't happen...
