one 182 VO2x kenna brunt

Yes, the info of the rego is from me, or rather my dad instead because according to him who witnessed the incident because it happened right in front of his workplace at Tuas, he said that the condition of the bus is so bad to the extend that there's only the metal poles and the rear portion of the bus as seen in the news left. Other things such as the steering wheel, tyres (especially the rear ones because it started off from there with smokes), and roof are all gone. Maybe MS can let us know more details of it after investigations and checks. =)Originally posted by SBS1985C:Rego is:
SBS72?3? Sure GONE CASE. (Info By someone)
What is SLBP doing? MS may please tell us what happen and will the bus be scrapped or will SLBP try to repair it?
I do not think it will be repaired. so RIP.

Wah! The picture looks scary!!! The bus surely gone case liao...Originally posted by lemon1974:go to http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/255106/1/.html
got one picture but cant see rego

Looks like those Citaros that caught fire in the UK, only that this is a DD. I've seen real tyre fires before (what i saw is truck tyres caught fire) , and its extremely scary!!!Originally posted by autumncs:Wah! The picture looks scary!!! The bus surely gone case liao...

The tyres can explode! Imagine hot burning rubber flying in ur direction!
Btw im most afraid of these fires, its RED fire, unlike those orange flames that u see when people make offering to the gods.
-
Hmm.... The fire was just shown on the Channel U news 1 minute ago... Looks scary...
-
so sad , may that vo2x rest in piece or come back to life .
-
completely burnt out
even the bus stop nearby was not spared
-
may that Vo2x R.I.P or come back to life !
this is the first time slbp lost a vo2x to fire i guess ! -
hey ,the busstop plate can see the SBS logo from the old times !Originally posted by Rooky:completely burnt out 
-
so the fire was caused by the tyre, not the engine?????

Ya its yours.Originally posted by TIB1062Y:Yes, the info of the rego is from me, or rather my dad instead because according to him who witnessed the incident because it happened right in front of his workplace at Tuas, he said that the condition of the bus is so bad to the extend that there's only the metal poles and the rear portion of the bus as seen in the news left.

MS. If its possible can you take pictures of the inside and the exterior of the bus before repairing / scrapping? Thanks! -
didn't notice until u mention itOriginally posted by SBS BUSES LOVER:hey ,the busstop plate can see the SBS logo from the old times !

If you look properly at all (or maybe most) of SBST bus stop plates, you should be able to see the outline too!Originally posted by Rooky:didn't notice until u mention it
When they changed the name from SBS to SBST, they just pasted a purple sticker on top of the plate to state the bus stop name.
Some bus stops have the sticker peeling off, showing what the original plate looked liked. -
Yeah , Quite trueOriginally posted by stooper:If you look properly at all (or maybe most) of SBST bus stop plates, you should be able to see it too!

As for TIBS , they change the whole plates and put the new plates , miss those TIBS bus stop plates , looks nicer.. -
The following could be suspected:
SBS 7203L (251 SLBP)
SBS 7213H (252 SLBP)
SBS 7223D (252 SLBP)
SBS 7233A (192 SLBP)
SBS 7243X (192 SLBP)
SBS 7253S (154 SLBP)
SBS 7263M (249 SLBP)
SBS 7273J (249 SLBP)
SBS 7283E (254 SLBP)
SBS 7293B (154 SLBP)
Please help check tomorrow which one is the odd one out. Thanks. -
I suspect it's 7253S. I see it every weekend.Originally posted by TWS4793:The following could be suspected:

But I think you'll have to wait till Monday to confirm which bus disappear lah... Sunday JIS svc don't use all the buses and many buses will be lying around in the depot.
But even then, 154 won't use all the VO2x... -
If it's originating from the tyre, it should be due to electrostatics, where excess charges build up and yeah, opposite charges get induced by the metal body. Sparks are produced due to the charges, which may well, burn the bus. No complicated explanation for you people out there regarding electrostatics.
(this is a guess)
To a more proper explanation a PM would be advisable. This is a layman explanation. -
can i go to soon lee to see the burnt bus?

Also, it may be due to excessive wear and tear caused by friction between the road and the tyres. They may get too hot and a fire may result.Originally posted by Donavan:If it's originating from the tyre, it should be due to electrostatics, where excess charges build up and yeah, opposite charges get induced by the metal body.

Ask SBS Transit to let you into the depot.Originally posted by Rooky:can i go to soon lee to see the burnt bus?
Are you sure it's the bus? Did you see it on Service 182 every weekend?Originally posted by stooper:I suspect it's 7253S. I see it every weekend.

Its not easy as you think , tsk tskOriginally posted by TWS4793:Ask SBS Transit to let you into the depot. -
Erm i rmbr that uneven wear can also result in overheating and fires. For e.g. , the tyre may have a "toe-ed in or out" position , resulting in uneven wear and overheating and eventually catches fire.Originally posted by Donavan:If it's originating from the tyre, it should be due to electrostatics, where excess charges build up and yeah, opposite charges get induced by the metal body.

I would think Donavan's answer seems more suitable, you can see that oil tankers have metal chains dragging from the truck to the road, the purpose is to earth the positve charges and neutralize the charges.Originally posted by TWS4793:Also, it may be due to excessive wear and tear caused by friction between the road and the tyres.

The rear alphabet seems like a D. If its 7223D, then there goes my then-regular 93 bus. -
Eh yes, my weakest topic in Physics. Everything from Magnetism to Static in the Sec 4 Physics textbook seems difficult for me.Originally posted by Donavan:If it's originating from the tyre, it should be due to electrostatics, where excess charges build up and yeah, opposite charges get induced by the metal body.

You know, I am going to get nightmares tonight just looking at that burning bus. I can never put up with SBS Transit buses even being damaged, let alone...
And guys, I think we should really not speculate about the cause of the fire until the investigation report is out; MS will then be able to update us on this. Right now, the (second) most important thing is to look for suitable replacement buses to replace the slot for this bus (B9TLs?!).
I wonder, though, if they might salvage the reusable parts of this bus and build a new one from it . I think not too likely, though. -
Have you seen real tyre fires before? I mean those truck tyres, not those car tyres. I've seen one in Malaysia, and im quite traumatized by it, im not joking..Originally posted by eX.A.K.R.:You know, I am going to get nightmares tonight just looking at that burning bus. I can never put up with SBS Transit buses even being damaged, let alone... The car i was travelling in passed by the accident area, so i caught sight of the fire clearly. The fire was burning so severely that the tyre threatened to explode. . Im most afraid of burning buses and trucks, especially buses, which looked like a living hell.
