can u just stop whining? Dont guess or whatsoever. Just wait and see.Originally posted by SBS2671B:Thats sad
Anyway JB mk3 are out of the question as they are allocated for S160 S170. -
there seem to be quite alot of SP MK3 & definitely alot of SP Vo3x in bbdep , so maybe Vo3x & mk3 on 175?Originally posted by service_238:can u just stop whining? Dont guess or whatsoever. Just wait and see.

Mmm.. I dun think so.. Why dun you say about 2 years ago SL transferred most of the Volvo mark I to HGDEP? Hahaz, it is better to take those Vo2x or Vo3x then taking old scania, old volvo mark I or even Volvo mark III. Hahaz, thatmakes SLBP have the most DD in the whole of Singapore!Originally posted by 105090:means that BB/AR is slowly giving LO3x and VO2x to SL

If JB MK3 are allocated on only 160 & 170, then why SBS587A is perm 7, and JB MK3s also appear on 16, 123, and 165? Are you saying that 7, 16, 123, and 165 are cross-border services?

195 also almost full Mk III fleet.Originally posted by SBS2671B:Sv 5 will look exactly like a brother to Sv 16, majority MK3 if that really happens. Thats no fun. More like Scania gonna strike 5 instead. The 5 desto will look weird on a Scania OAC. BNDEP does have alot of Spares Scania. Or maybe SBS1725 and SBS1727G would join 5 ? Or even SBS2815D ? Wait and see. -
From what I know, BBDEP has some JB SP buses. These can cameo on any route when not needed for cross-border runs.Originally posted by SBS9806J:If JB MK3 are allocated on only 160 & 170, then why SBS587A is perm 7, and JB MK3s also appear on 16, 123, and 165?

Ever saw a JB Mk II (affixed with 170 sticker) on 96 during the era of NAC buses. -
Yes, JB MK3s are primarily used for service 160 and 170. However, some of these buses will still be used on regular services, like those you mentioned. This is due to the fact that SBS Transit doesn't use all the JB MK3s at once. These small numbers are for contingencies.Originally posted by SBS9806J:If JB MK3 are allocated on only 160 & 170, then why SBS587A is perm 7, and JB MK3s also appear on 16, 123, and 165?

In short, JB MK3s CAN appear on any services but 160 and 170 MUST operate using JB MK3s.As long as they have enough buses to meet the demand, the JB MK3s CAN be perm on any services as well.Originally posted by SBS9806J:If JB MK3 are allocated on only 160 & 170, then why SBS587A is perm 7, and JB MK3s also appear on 16, 123, and 165?

587A may be perm on 7 , but it serves 170 as well , if not 587A would definately be de-registered from going to JB by SBS & the 3rd brake light at the rear would be removed. I seen it once not too long ago on 170 at Upp Bt Timah Rd. What the other author mean is that those Mk3s at BBDEP were mainly allocated to serve 160 & 170 but they can cameo on other services! Mostly those JB Mk3 spares are the ones which do cameo on those services u mentioned above , others don't cameo that often , but those SP JB Mk3s as well as 587A do serve 160/170.Originally posted by SBS9806J:If JB MK3 are allocated on only 160 & 170, then why SBS587A is perm 7, and JB MK3s also appear on 16, 123, and 165?

First and foremost, when S170 first started out having Mk3s, sbst allocated 60 buses for this service. However, only about 30 odd to 40 buses are used for S170, leaving around 20 SPs.
Then S160 came along and bbdep acquired more Mk3s and converted them to JB Mk3s. Now the total of JB mk3s stands +/- 80 buses.
Ever wonder why bbdep die die wont put any JB mk3 perm on any service? Reason is obvious but still i will say it. They need it for S160 S170. Let's assume they put a JB Mk3 perm on a service (especially in bulk numbers), and if a JB Mk3 on 160 170 breakdown? or an accident occurred? Who is going to replace them? Use your math and count.. About 55 perm buses (exact numbers get from sgwiki)... then leave about 8-10 buses for maintainence, leaves about 15-17 buses.
There are days where u see a huge lot of JB Mk3s running around bbdep and arbp services, those are the days where its other SDs that go for maintainence.
bbdep, like all other depots, has a quota to keep a certain amount of buses in the depot for emergency or chartering. However, unlike other depot, bbdep has a strict preference for the JB Mk3s, while other depots can just keep any model or whatsoever..
Do note one thing. SBS 0587 A is perm on 7 is partly because SBS 0691 G is on non-user laid up status. At that time the B9s were not out yet and hence this arrangement has to be made. Besides its only ONE bus that is perm. I believe he is back to SP status given the excess buses bbdep has now. SBS 0817 L was another classic example replacing SBS 2648 U but this bus i didnt check whether got perm 111 sticker (then again arbp buses no stix)
Henceforth, I consider your statement that JB Mk3s perm on S175 as invalid. There are a total of about 6-10 bbdep buses being perm on S175. I strongly believe that IF there are any JB Mk3s being perm (which i still think its a no), only 1 at most 2 will be perm.
I would consider you (9806J) to counter my statement after this Sunday. Thank you. -
i dun think SBS587A is perm on SV 7. It appear on SV 166 for the past few days.
