SBST service 151 using NAC MK2 WA buses again ??
-
I seldom take this bus service, but however while travelling along Macpherson Road and Airport Road, sometimes travelling along Clementi Road to Singapore Polytechnic I have noticed 3-4 non air con WAs on service 151 in a row
For the past few weeks I had seen slight improvements with the addition of AC buses on service 151, however those NAC buses were back on service 151 again ??
-
As I've said bef, they will only act on complains
The service with the highest number of NAC buses -
However, there are at least improvements. AC buses are added in as well.

Improvement???Originally posted by SBS 233 X:However, there are at least improvements. AC buses are added in as well.
Then convert 151 back to FAC status as it was when introduced in 1993 -
Service 151 PAC/FAC status:-Originally posted by sbst275:Improvement???
Then convert 151 back to FAC status as it was when introduced in 1993
- Introduced as a FAC service in 1993
- Converted to a PAC service in 1998 during a PAC/FAC conversion exercise
- Converted back to a FAC service in 2000
- Quitely converted to a PAC in Nov 2001 when service 170 became a FAC service
MK3 went over in exchange with ex NAC MK2 WA 170s -
Back in 1993, SBS only had 800 buses
300 MK3
500 O405
50 CRBs -
SBS Transit NACs n ACs belongs to different "gangs" for most of the times so having consecutive NAC or AC isnt rare. It would be almost impossible for Sv151 getting FAC until all the WA MK2s get scrapped.

at the expense of 74 indirectly

If u r given a choice which bus will u takeOriginally posted by K800i:Give me a NAC DM Volvo Mark II over a SBST's farking LOUSY Scania or Nissan Diesel bus any day.
SBST's NAC MK2 WA or SMRT's OAC/CAC Nissan SBST's NAC MK2 DM or SBST's OAC/CAC Scania -
I'd rather take all these except the CAC NissansOriginally posted by vivienlee:If u r given a choice which bus will u take SBST's NAC MK2 WA or SMRT's OAC/CAC Nissan SBST's NAC MK2 DM or SBST's OAC/CAC Scania -

NAC MK2 WA/DM/scania: short journey yes, long journey NO
NAC vo2x: maybe yes (of course no choice for JIS )
OAC/CAC scania: yes
CAC MK2: yes
OAC MK3/MK4: of course
OAC nissan: maybe, maybe not
CAC nissan: NEVER AT ALL (esp on svc 980)

as for meOriginally posted by anti_NISSAN_U31: for me...
NAC WA/DM/scania: short journey yes, long journey NO
NAC vo2x: maybe yes (of course no choice for JIS )
OAC/CAC scania: yes
OAC nissan: maybe, maybe not
CAC nissan: NEVER AT ALL (esp on svc 980)
NAC MK2 WA and DM : If Short Journey maybe yes , long journey super cool
NAC VO2x : Same as above
OAC Scania N113's : Maybe Yes
CAC/NAC Scania N113's : Yes
OAC Nissan : Yes
CAC Nissan : what can i say? -
Off:
Me.
MK II NAC Yes.
MK III Yes.
MK IV Yes.
Scania NAC/OAC/CAC - Give them to me anyday too bad svc 51 does not have scanias as perms.
SBS T Mercedes NAC (Non existing) I die I also want to take.
SBS T Mercedes OAC/CAC I try not to take. (No)
Nissan: Ok.
Hino: Ok.
SMRT Mecedes OAC / CAC Yes. (Better than SBS T)
SMRT Lance Ok
Other Bues (Eg Leyland, Dennis) OK. -
This thread becoming another anti XXX thread.
Anyway if i not rush, i would take Sv154. Don't forget Sv154 duplicates Sv151 from Clementi Road to Macpherson Road. -
Off-Topic already...
Anyway for myself,
All NAC Buses depends on the journey and the weather, if too hot then don't take
CAC MK2s/OAC MK3s/MB0405s should be ok
All MK4s and LO3x/VO3x sure take 
Special buses/CNGs/VSOs/B9TLs/DTs lagi shiok, sure must take 
All SMRT 0405s/Box Bendies ok
All SMRT Scanias/DAFs quite ok
Dennis Lances/Hinos better than 0405s
Volgren/Habits my favourite model (especially Dennis Lances and Bendy Volgrens)
OAC Nissans so so only, depend on the air-con system
CAC Nissans will definitely give it a miss (except for service 178 - too many Nissans already ) -
For me,
NAC MK2s & VO2x - defintely!
CAC Mk2, maybe
Mk3, maybe
Mk4 - yes
MBO405, defintely!
LO - defintely will take!
VO3x - yes
Scania - yes
SMRT
ELBO/WA Scania - no
OAC/CAC Nissan - obvious answer
DAF - maybe
Bendys - yes -
I think for your case you better try to avoid taking service 178...all 178 buses are made up only of these busesOriginally posted by stooper:For me,
SMRT
ELBO/WA Scania - no
OAC/CAC Nissan - obvious answer -
Ok, let's swop. I'm tired of the ever unreliable and noisy MKIIs. Some days I actually groan in public when a MKII trundles towards me to pick me up. Those around me probably thought I was mad anyway.Originally posted by K800i:Give me a NAC DM Volvo Mark II over a SBST's farking LOUSY Scania or Nissan Diesel bus any day. -
Anyway, their replies are just too blunt
Cos the buses have not reached the stat lifespan or they are still in good working conditon...
If that's the case, distribute them uniformly to feeders, other trunk svs -
What's your f***** problem man? This thread has not been active since dunno how long ago, and u wanna dig it out and post something stupid.Originally posted by sbst275:Anyway, their replies are just too blunt

And hello, feeder services DO get the NAC buses...e.g. 265, tampines and bedok, hougang & serangoon feeders...so watz ur problem...
Svc 151 has enough air-con buses. I don't see the NUS students whining...so why should you? If there's anything to whine about is about the frequency.
Beggars can't be choosers.
