Services like Fast Forward & Express that may ply alternate routes along express sectors will not use DDs. This is to give the BCs freedom to choose whatever routes they deem fit instead of being restricted by the height because of trees or other height restrictions.Originally posted by SBS BUSES LOVER:why dosen't 502 use Double decks anymore ?

If I'm not wrong, LO3x DDs were on Sv 502 before.

i guess so , remembered DM 3500's mostly & 155M , 128S , 137R , 284Z were the only few merc then before the SBSL buses ( PA PLATED ) came in ..Originally posted by stooper:Was 502 fully HG? I don't remember seeing any merc back then. I only remembered lots of volvos...
there were dennis tridents 9680H 9677P ..more & of course 9888Y perm . -
i think there were also OAC Mercedes on 502 as well. but in the end 502 ended up with striders and the VO3x (3rd batch) mostly, and dennis tridentOriginally posted by SBS BUSES LOVER:i guess so , remembered DM 3500's mostly & 155M , 128S , 137R , 284Z were the only few merc then before the SBSL buses ( PA PLATED ) came in ..

then 501 had striders, tridents, VO3x, and DM3500
511 then used mk3 and mk4 striders, but eventually has 50% VO3x
512 also mk3 and one or 2 striders.
the double deckers on 501 and 502 had always attract neare full loads from the Sengkang-CBD section! -
Sv. 502 used to have SBS9120D as perm during the BNL-SK era, and kept 9120D for a short time after being shortened.

Eng Neo Ave, Sixth Ave, Anderson Rd. IMO the turning lane into Anderson Rd is too narrow & tight for a DD. Even for SDs some BCs' back wheel will go up kerb when turning.Originally posted by SBS9828X:hey... just wondering, is there any height restrictions along 502 rts and is there any possible restrictions? -
I know that 501 was full HG, and 502 was partial HG control only. And yes, LO3Xes have been on 502 though perm or not, I am not sure.
