Redeployments
-
the reason they deploy volvo mkivs & vo3xbatch 2/3 are they are better looking in terms of bodwerk compared to LOs/Mercs bodies which got bolt-on every partition.appearances is more important than performances.
-
the meeting are held yearly... but once every three years it it will be held at a foreign country instead of USA -
SBS9080K was spotted on Sv 99
and a few VO3x on Service 97 as well. Regos if i could recall is SBS9638A , SBS9590E ..... -
I prefer the MB 0405 on 502. I remembered the this bus sped faster then the DM 3500 or strider. Their sound of the engine also very nice.Originally posted by SBS2798U:Aiyah, can we stop fantasising about V03x, B9TLs on 179 or 199 or i dunno maybe 405?
Or fantasising perm mk4s on 502 ...
U know certain fantasies wun happen lar ... at least for the time being ...
But hey 5 or 8 years down the road ... VO3x might be on 179, perm mk4s on 502 ... possible ... so wait long long ... still got hope ...
By the way, the side desto for 502, is it those square one that use by MB 0405 or they use those desto for this DM 3500? -
How frigging think is your head and skull? Sheesh...really are you that dumb or acting dumn?Originally posted by SBS BUSES LOVER:will this arrangement be permanant ?
but i saw 3728R in the morning ?
& today if i'm not wrong 9065E on 99 ( couldn;t see clearly )
if Vo3X come onto 179 and do the X-over to 242 ! wow !
It's been said many times, arrangements are NOT PERMANENT. Which part do you not understand? Uugh...
Stop your 'California Dreaming'. The company does not have enough buses to go around. Be thankful you would have a bus to board...don't dream of VO3x on 179. Sheesh. -
Be thankful????
Pls draw a clear line of being 'be thankful of able to board a bus' and the min service std required from the operators -
for this IMF period, LTA/PTC wont be bother so much abt the service standards for regular services.Originally posted by sbst275:Be thankful????

They are more concerned abt the services standards for those IMF chartered services lah... die die no matter what, also have ensure that those delegates wont wait long for buses. -

It seems to me they are going to sacrifice 200 MK4s, then deploy maybe about 20 more B9TLs to cover those 200 buses???
-
Today's newspaper says it will be highly unlikely that IMF will be hosted in SG again since the govt bans outdoor protests and the IMF wants the freedom for the protesters to voice their opinion.Originally posted by SBS BUSES LOVER:the meetings are held once every 3 years ! -
20 B9TLs not enough.. plus those SP buses also not enough to make 200 buses.Originally posted by stooper:9050Y on 99 today also.

but they can easily reduce the number of buses on each regular trunk service.. -
they will regret only if something go wrong with the IMF chartered services.Originally posted by sbst275:They've better dun regret
If passengers complained that the frequency for regular bus services is long during this period, they will just use IMF as an excuse... -

And what do you mean by 179 is a respectable service...sheesh...u r irritating...do u know... -
Today, yeah 9641S on 179, but I think it's only today.
It lacked a 179 side desto. It had a 97A side desto instead. So I believe it will be back to 97 tommorow. But they might be other VO3x cameos...
Someone said above 9065E has been transfered, but actually, it is still with SLBP
174: 9607S (ex BB 166)
179: 9641D (ex BB 198 ) <-- bus was very sluggish, even when BC continously downshifted
99: 9103D (ex SL 97)
99: 9081H (ex SL 97)
99: 9009T (ex SL 97)
198: 9024Z (ex SL 179)
198: 9080K (ex SL SP) <-BC chiong! First time drive LO maybe!
198: 9158X (ex SL 97)
