Remembering SBS in Northwest area
-
ouh please, 365 was not given much attention back then when SBS still had the chance to... if only...... that would be great thoughOriginally posted by iveco:If only SBS were still in charge of BBT & CCK, they would enhance 365 to become an inter-town service that passes outside the Kranji camps and looping @ CCK St 62 in the opposite direction of 307. Anyone agree with me? -
Mah Bao Tan's decision to let SBS(T) run NEL was the biggest mistake of his tenure, IMO.Originally posted by choww:The situtation might be different if SBST continue to control NW. -
Back then, CCK was not as developed as it is today. SAFPU and ALTC still hadn't moved out of Ulu Pandan and Portsdown areas respectively.Originally posted by muziq bus:ouh please, 365 was not given much attention back then when SBS still had the chance to... if only...... that would be great though -
Still miss the days when CCK was under SBS control..

yeah , and also miss the sights of the Superbus livery at CCK Int and the NAC Double deckersOriginally posted by choww:Still miss the days when CCK was under SBS control.. -
It has been mentioned time and again that CCK routes were better off under SBS.Originally posted by choww:Still miss the days when CCK was under SBS control..
Anyway, my area (west) has the "best of both worlds". Ditto for those in the central and east.

Hope that SBST will operate a SBST svc at CCK soon. Wonder if this is going to happen? -

If it is the government's decision to let SMRT/Tibs have NEL, I think Bt Panjang services will revert back to SBS in 1999, whereas Serangoon and Hougang services will be taken over by Tibs instead.

SBS lost the tender for Bukit Panjang LRT, but won the NEL instead.Originally posted by TIB1018B:If it is the government's decision to let SMRT/Tibs have NEL, I think Bt Panjang services will revert back to SBS in 1999, whereas Serangoon and Hougang services will be taken over by Tibs instead.
slightly politically influenced.
for CCL, if m not wrong, SBST wasnt invited for the tender -
I agree.Originally posted by TIB1018B:If it is the government's decision to let SMRT/Tibs have NEL, I think Bt Panjang services will revert back to SBS in 1999, whereas Serangoon and Hougang services will be taken over by Tibs instead.
Those who are SinBus members would have seen my "NW for NE" poll in the "Blast from the past" section. -
SMRT Ints don't seems to be a lot. I hope one day SMRT will give up on the buses and hand all buses over to SBST and maybe in exchange they give NEL to SMRT and SMRT will become the former Singapore Mass Rapid Transit.
Then the SBS999U SBST bendy livery will appear on the bendies.(What will be the Nissans like?, then the SMRT EDS? ) Sure SBST will make a lot of enhancement to the svcs and may even buy more buses to top-up to the SMRT shortage. Like what I heard some ppl said that, Svc 190 was operated by 40 over DDs when it was on SBS. If this really happens, no more territory, competitor, then Singapore will be on SBST hand, SBST will be responsible for service quality, cannot compare anymore... -
I found 1 website: http://www.gakei.com/sgb/sgb.htm
got a lot of memories like Mk2, Mk3, Mk4 in SBS Livery, can say that its better than BIH, only that they do not have an exact model like 'Volvo B10M-62 Mark IV'. They are not very updated, they don't have B9TLs, SBS9888Y and9889U and the CNG etc. -
I think this website is last update in 2005 , the photo section. And maybe it need time to upload the pics...Originally posted by ngjy22:I found 1 website: http://www.gakei.com/sgb/sgb.htm

The webmaster is not based in Singapore. I guess that explains the lack of updates on Singapore buses. Maybe he'll get it updated the next time he visits Singapore and get photos of the new buses which has come out since his last visit.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:I think this website is last update in 2005 , the photo section.

hope that SBST will dominate in CCK again
