Thanks for the replies regarding my question on townlink buses.

If you see bunch up, most of the time is between SBS2670D and SBS960E from what I had observedOriginally posted by sexy girls:is it rare for svc 82 to bunch up?

Just now saw two Sv48 bunch up (1 JB MK3 and 1 strider) during PM Peak
-
some DM 3500s, the left-side seats after the exit are originally in 5 rows? [excluding back row and now left with 4 rows only] strider and DMs also have the same thing... just that striders also kena removed 1 row of seats on the right side i think. as for DM, right side seats still remains in its original place.
ytd i was on a 28xx DM 3500, found out that those seats after the exit are already arranged in 4 rows... was it bcos of TV Mobile that influenced the arrangement?
2789 is the last DM3500 to be fitted with TVM?
-
Does 98 ever have VO3X cameo?
When does SBS31L to SBS37X came over to BRBP and how long did they stay? -
if i remember correctly, 2789X do not have tvmobile. i remember not seeing any the last time i saw this bus. which DM3500 28xx did you take yesterday which had tvmobile?Originally posted by collinnxk88:some DM 3500s, the left-side seats after the exit are originally in 5 rows?

There are 2 batches of Dm3500 that SBST bought. 2689-2788, 2789-2838. The latter batch does not have tv mobile.
98 had VO3x cameo before, at least for IMF when i snapped 9641S on a nice saturday afternoon. Not sure after VO 3x started to stay in slbp.
Scania OACs 31L-37X, 41H 42E and probably a few more came over to brbp in Apr/May 2002. This is in liew of the opening of Toa Payoh Int and the TPY feeders going full aircon. The NAC scanias left for other services or got laid up or something. By then there's very few Scania NACs as there are more CACs on the services. Mr Scania can provide more info on this.
The first batch started to leave in 2004 when depot transfer occurred, that's why u find most of them on S33 when it got xferred from hgdep to bndep. The last being 42E when it disappeared after 41H came back from bndep. -
none has it. just that im asking if those remaining 50, their arrangement kena 'influence' by those 100 DM 3500s beforehand which had 5 rows behind the rear door before 1 row was being removed for TVM and the remaining rows adjusted? [most obvious case of adjustment is in strider and DM] correct me if im wrong.Originally posted by BusSpeeder:if i remember correctly, 2789X do not have tvmobile. i remember not seeing any the last time i saw this bus. which DM3500 28xx did you take yesterday which had tvmobile? -
So are there any strider or DM3500 with the priginal 5 rows of seats now? or all are converted to 4 rows?
cos I saw many with no TV but only 4 rows -
Yes, there has been the SLBP VO3x cameoing on it before. Can't remember regoes, but I've seen it posted in the cameo thread before.Originally posted by service_238:Not sure after VO 3x started to stay in slbp. -
do u think svc 302 can cope with a mix of bendies and rigids during morning peak? i believe from 8 to 8am ++, svc 302 can cope with rigids. if so, then maybe some bendies can cross over to other svcs to help out the morning peak on other svcs?Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:Hi SBS3688Y
I'm a daily rider of Sv 302 during AM Peak. Actually the load is more from the CCK Cres to Yew tee MRT and after that the load is slightly normal , but at times its also packed until CCK Int during 6-7am period.
As compared to 300 , yes I agreed with you , the load is slightly more then 302 -
Deleted.

anybody knows when is cck int opened and the first few services there?

a) Do some buses use to have two square desto holders (especially Scania N113CRBs)? I see such things about 8 years ago.
b) I remember that the second square desto holder was removed somewhere between 2001 and 2004. Can anyone confirm? -
2nd desto holder is used to place a desto with SBS logo on it when the bus had an AOA.Originally posted by TWS4793:a) Do some buses use to have two square desto holders (especially Scania N113CRBs)? I see such things about 8 years ago.

However, later they were as advertising slots (got advertising desto), one ad I can remember is the Ericsson ad. -
Yes, they used to have 2 desto holders. Don't know why it was removed though.Originally posted by TWS4793:a) Do some buses use to have two square desto holders (especially Scania N113CRBs)? I see such things about 8 years ago.

I asked a similar question in page 18 but no reply... -
What's an AOA?Originally posted by Scania:2nd desto holder is used to place a desto with SBS logo on it when the bus had an AOA. -
All over advertising, full body ad.Originally posted by stooper:What's an AOA? -
anyway, the 2nd desto were first introduced because SBST got some monthly best service awards long long time ago..
i think they evaluated each route on many factors such as complain/cleanliness/bus breakdown rates etc etc. and select one service per interchange or depot as Gold service or something like that and they display a "best service"(or something like that) gold colour desto on the second desto slot..
did remember SV 155 got this award before in a certain month. -
I wonder if its feasible to do this againOriginally posted by lemon1974:anyway, the 2nd desto were first introduced because SBST got some monthly best service awards long long time ago..

might be feasible. dun put gold desto. go make gold sticker/decal (like those singapore flag decal given out by Caltex) and paste on windscreen and near the side desto area..Originally posted by service_238:I wonder if its feasible to do this again There's evaluation for the 5 workshops though...
and i think the BCs does get some monetary awards for getting this award. and i think it will motivate them to serve better and maintain their buses. -
Nope. The remaining buses are not affected. E.g. SBS 2835X still has got 5 rows after the exit door.Originally posted by collinnxk88:none has it. just that im asking if those remaining 50, their arrangement kena 'influence' by those 100 DM 3500s beforehand which had 5 rows behind the rear door before 1 row was being removed for TVM and the remaining rows adjusted?
