i thought that came from SP? means that 151 has one more addition to its bus fleet? means they don't have to exchange out one of their bus?Originally posted by SBS9806J:SBS9429P? -
No, 151 doesn't get fleet addition. SBS1888A was out of the fleet.Originally posted by BusSpeeder:i thought that came from SP? means that 151 has one more addition to its bus fleet? means they don't have to exchange out one of their bus? -
Oh god! Why SBS 113J become non- user lay up? Sianz.. ?I think should deploy SBS 298J to replace this bus..

wrongOriginally posted by SBS 233 X:No, 151 doesn't get fleet addition. SBS1888A was out of the fleet.
1808G left the fleet to be a SP (roster showed no sign of the rego) but apparently its still on 151 probably due to mk2s on laid up or something.
so at that time
SBS 9429 P (HG SP) - (HG 132)
SBS 2696 E (HG 132) - (HG 151)
SBS 1808 G (HG 151) - (HG SP)
9429P earlier came out from 51 due to the B9s -
cos soon lee misses the bus so much that they want the bus to be by their side all the time, so they laid the bus upOriginally posted by chickenlittle2:Oh god! Why SBS 113J become non- user lay up? Sianz.. ?I think should deploy SBS 298J to replace this bus.. -
or SBS1776P which went on laid up status?Originally posted by service_238:wrong

Its lifespan would expire in 3 months anyway.Originally posted by chickenlittle2:Oh god! Why SBS 113J become non- user lay up? Sianz.. ?I think should deploy SBS 298J to replace this bus.. -
can what , i took it quite a no of times , can speed well , it depends on who is the BC on svc 105 driving the bus .Originally posted by SBS9888Y:SBS298J cant even tahan one day on 105...i tink should perm 335..dun tempt ur fate..engine later si liao...sp still best status..soon lee maintenance needs a huge room for improvement

BCs on JE Route Group that I've taken don't seem to want to speed, drive leisurely, but still ahead of time one. (go and compare with those CW3 drivers in JE Int, or even 160.)
Buses deployed to JE seem to be in a better sight than in Boon Lay. Strangely however no one mentions much about SL 97, or SL 98 when discussing about Soon Lee buses.
It's just ironic that I have found missing seat screws on many of the VOs from all over, small parts of floorboard missing on one particular AM/BR MK IV DM3500, violent Scanias that rattle (and people DON'T seem to make a big fuss about it, compared to slow buses. Why?) Or even some B9TLs that seem near-dead. (Their door-closing chime sounds so much blander than the VSO's door closing chime.)
Recommend me the following:
1) Best buses from each depot
2) Worst buses from each depot.
Be wary, someone has done this for me before...
My comments on some recommendations:
SBS 877 M (BB SP, I took it on 160)
--> Yes, it IS a ZF gearbox. Doesn't seem to showcase its performance. Weird.
SBS 904 T (BN 36)
--> aeroplane, no-no for the city, why is it still on 36??
--> it looks like it's in a sorry state.
SBS 1708 L (former AM 52 when I took it)
--> I was told this was a decent MK II. The door nearly fully opened along PIE, without any BC interference.
SBS 1784 R (current SL 79)
--> I took it when it was full. Entrance sensor seems to be faulty, and there seems to be huge signs of an imminent breakdown. :S
SBS 1984 E (BN 66)
--> burnt from the front.
SBS 1985 C (BN 2
--> whining engine.
--> suspension not expected of a good bus
--> TOO FAST. Speeding along Paya Lebar is as good as risking standing passengers. (due to CCL)
SBS 9681 B (former HG 51, when I took it)
--> fast, so what?
--> seems that the DTs have an unpleasantly dull colour scheme. Why is it so? No one talks about colour scheme when rating buses. Weird.
SBS 9888 Y (BR 154)
--> strangely, even with the ZF gearbox, I don't sense it speeding. -
Huh?Originally posted by Donavan:SBS 1984 E (BN 66)

154 ehh try sunday? This bus almost tio accident at Clementi Int Junction. -
Don't get it wrong here,SP buses doesn't mean the bus totally CMI,Only interior or exterior problem,But engine must be tip top all time if not how can the depot rely it to be SP?
-
which services did SBS7268A (AR 93) serve before it became a 93 perm?
I have seen it as a 74 last time during the SBS days and also took it as a 300 last time at Choa Chu Kang Int when i was a kid, just before 300 became TIBS (now SMRT) -

dunno whether are u dumb or what... by the time u said it 3 threads spring up already -_-Originally posted by TWS4793:4x of similiar topic spring up again. I say not to create any more threads (as it is confusing) yet people still don't want to listen. -
We've tried to control this situation but it doesn't seem to be improving.Originally posted by service_238:dunno whether are u dumb or what... by the time u said it 3 threads spring up already -_- -
Wait...Is there a way you or me or we can control it? Only Jason can.Originally posted by TWS4793:We've tried to control this situation but it doesn't seem to be improving. -
Yes, but he seldom comes to this forum if I'm not wrong.Originally posted by Scania:Wait...Is there a way you or me or we can control it? Only Jason can. -
Who's we?Originally posted by TWS4793:We've tried to control this situation but it doesn't seem to be improving. -
If YOU can control the situation you can merge all three threads already.Originally posted by TWS4793:We've tried to control this situation but it doesn't seem to be improving.
What's done is done. Live and let live. External forces cause things to happen in such a fashion. The more you control it, the more the thing wont happen.
So what you can do is to let them rot up till the point when there's only 1 active cameo thread. -
