Cannot be lah! Where got so good B9TL replace NAC VO2x.Originally posted by eX.A.K.R.:Right now, the (second) most important thing is to look for suitable replacement buses to replace the slot for this bus (B9TLs?!).
I think they will just use another SP VO2x to replace it (7199R, 7200U, 7240D, 7241B).
If it's really 7253S, maybe they won't bother since 154 never deploys all its VO2x in one day. You see their VO2x cameoing around on JIS svcs daily. -
Oh.. so sad.. Btw, can DD go under the bus stop that is outside the Tuas checkpoint. There is a flyover on top..

its either 7253S or 7293B... it cant be any other bus

Yes , its either 7253S or 7293B on 182 everyweekend , but recently i see 7253S almost every weekend on 182 !Originally posted by TWS4793:Are you sure it's the bus? Did you see it on Service 182 every weekend?
stooper is right ! -
do u think we will be able to spot the burnt bus in SLBP if went there?

Before that, think of a hundred and one good reasons why SBS Transit should let you in to the depot in the first place =POriginally posted by Rooky:do u think we will be able to spot the burnt bus in SLBP if went there? -
MS may be a staff of the operator but he is not bound by any duty to provide such classified/sensitive/corporate information to us. He will tell us what he deems fit for public disclosure, and it is not up to us to decide what he wants to tell/show us. Please do not take his presence on this forum for granted.Originally posted by SBS1985C:Ya its yours.
MS. If its possible can you take pictures of the inside and the exterior of the bus before repairing / scrapping? Thanks!

SBS bus catches fire in Tuas, driver and passengers unhurt
SINGAPORE: It was a fiery ride for the passengers on an SBS bus early Saturday morning when service number 182 caught fire in Tuas.
Fortunately, the driver and its 14 passengers managed to escape unhurt.
It was supposed to be a routine journey to Boon Lay Bus Interchange around 7.30am, until the right rear tyre burst into flames along Tuas View Crescent.
The driver tried to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher, but he was unable to control the blaze which engulfed the bus shortly.
A fire engine rushed to the scene and put out the fire within 10 minutes. By then, the bus was already badly damaged.
The bus stop nearby was also not spared.
SBS Transit and the SCDF are investigating the cause of the fire. - CNA/so -

They dint give out free bread lahOriginally posted by chickenlittle2:no wat.. they introducted boarding in the depot. Somemore they gave free gift when u board there. You can try to tell the security at SLBP that you want to take 185 see how they reply to you -
hi all, the bus is 7253 as some of you have been suspecting. But I cannot reveal the actual reasons for fire. All I can reveal is highly unlikely to be caused by lapse in workshop maintenance. And many other details cannot be revealed as it involves many parties & further evaluation.
In this public forum there're many things I cannot reveal as my professionalism forbids. But I'd like to make some contact with the local bus critics in order to give all of you some infos.
Thanks for those who spoke up and understand my position. -
I also need to inform you all that currently many organisations are undergoing evolution. SAF is turning 3rd generations and during my recent reservist I can see that they're really shedding the unwanted parts and absorbing the parts that are going to propel the entire organisation to become even more competitive in the defence industry. So is SBS Transit. The new management styles are starting to build in. More aggressive policies, more professional operational & technical ideas. With an even more effective cost control.
Even so, safety has never been an agenda for cost savings. Because lives can never be replaced with any amount of money. Therefore the company takes extreme serious views on product safety which one of them is our buses. This fire case after some evaluations, there have been some discoveries. But facts showed that highly unlikely involved with workshop maintenance failure. It is more like a suay thing that happens once in a super blue moon. Frankly speaking, in my whole life in this industry, this is the first time I heard of such diagnosis & I was totally taken aback when I first heard the diagnosis.
A suitable analogy is like: you get banged down by a Ferrari. What I can only say is plainly suay.
For SL track records in safety, I believe many of you are aware of the high standards imposed and executed. So the rest of the buses are still safe to travel in. No matter what we want to have zero injuries to all my passengers.
I'd like to repeat, because you pay good bus fare, I will do whatever I can to give you good bus. This is sensible business. -

Well, I can understand what you are trying to say. No one wants this kind of things to happen either. I always have faith in the maintenance standards of SBS Transit (unlike some other company

), and even if there are lapses in maintenance, they are always rectified quickly, especially when the demanding commuter's complaints roll in. Commuter comfort is one thing, but their safety is even more important - and such maintenance can actually never be measured in value. They may cost this much, but their inherent value could be human lives - something immeasurable by any kind of money.
And if you say that it was not likely due to lack of maintenance, then either one of two things stands: freak human-caused accident other than lack of maintenance (cigarette butts, etc. come to mind), or just science and Mother Nature deciding to demonstrate some physics in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I wonder what will happen next with this bus, but likely it will have to depart for the land where motor vehicles are eternally blessed ( ). -
may SBS 7253S rest in piece
R.I.P
luckily i took it many times when it cameo on 242 & when it became perm on 154 -
Its the best if anyone over here is a BC and always travel to SLBP to start duty. Then the BC may be 'authorised' to go in and see...
Luckily this is svc 182, does not travel to the city.
This is Worldclass transport?
This happens unexpectedly, cannot be blamed... -
ok , thanks for the info , but the main question is : Will the bus be repaired or will it be scrapped ?Originally posted by MS:hi all, the bus is 7253 as some of you have been suspecting.
