Rate the depots and buses

I love SBS2812LOriginally posted by BusSpeeder:the best nokia music bus so far is SBS 2812L (AMDEP 54), think they maintain it well.

some BC prefer MK III to Scania because the driver seat is higher in MK III then in Scania.Originally posted by SBS3625D:I was thinking quite the opposite for many posts.......
BCs like MKIIIs actually, at least for the HG BCs I asked, 0405s are also quite popular. They say both non-demanding buses, easy to drive. -
I believe you know there are no Scanias for revenue svc in HGDEP.Originally posted by SBS3625D:I was thinking quite the opposite for many posts.......

BTW I think ARBP 14 drivers sometimes a bit rude... but on the whole ARBP drivers are nice (esp 65
) -
Rate your best and worst bus of each model and why
e.g
Volvo B9TL Olympian
Worst: SBS7494M (BRBP 8
When bus reaching highest gear will drag on the second highest gear for very lnog causing vibrations before moving to highest gear...somemore bus is NEW...took on 72 and 88 both BCs keep encountering same prob..isit BC drag on gear or isit the bus fault?
Best: SBS7317S (AMDEP 21)
This bus so long in service but still like brand new..acceleration is good and overall suspension is still ad good as new...a/c power... -

what 9806J posted is a bit contradictory to last year's SBST interchange performance
Overall, best to worst
1) Toa Payoh Route Group
2) Boon Lay (Includes Tuas Terminal)
3) Serangoon (includes Sv11 (WOCC), Sims Place Terminal and Ban San St Terminal)
...
The others dunno, but Pasir Ris was one of the last. -
They have it every quarter or every month.. sad to say Bt Merah Route Group is number 14th.Originally posted by Scania:what 9806J posted is a bit contradictory to last year's SBST interchange performance

7317S ? Best ? Are you sure or not ? That bus has given AMK a big headache, been in out of the workshop a few times but now the condition of the bus is ok. -
i forget about 2812L having faulty music mobilesOriginally posted by SBS9888Y:the music mobile thingy on SBS2812L sucks like some buses TVM the thing can jam halfway den the song not nice...overall SBS2779A the best
the song play like got awkward pauses halfway..makes it ugly how come SBS 2779A? is it because it has EDS? -
For me, SBS2779A is ok for me. SBS2696E suspension is like a boat where it bounce up and down(like a boat) when one sit at the back.
Never sat SBS2812L, so cannot comment on it -
SBS2696E ?? I dont want to take that bus again !! I sat at the back when the bus speeding . I didnt know its suspension was like that , and i nearly flew off my seat .Originally posted by gorby107:For me, SBS2779A is ok for me.

LOL, what is the interchange performance about? About the service of the people in the SBST counter?Originally posted by Scania:what 9806J posted is a bit contradictory to last year's SBST interchange performance -
Not just that, complains about drivers of that route group, efficiency among other things.Originally posted by stooper:LOL, what is the interchange performance about? About the service of the people in the SBST counter? -
I sat on all 3 for free... and to me SBS2812L was the best but SBS2696E BC knew how to drive the buses... Anyway,
Thumbs UP for these two drivers who drove the respective Nokia routes.
Big Thank you to you guys -
Rate your best and worst bus of each model and why
e.g
Volvo Strider
Worst: SBS1902S
Best: SBS2602B/ SBS1987Y -
Scania L113CRL ELBO :

TIB840A . A/c im not sure abt it , cuz i took it during a rainy day . But this bus teh rattling not so bad . Quite good .
Worst :
TIB841Y , TIB844P . Two of the worst rattlers . -
Actually it is obvious that SLBP would win the award. It was because like wat one of the past MP for Nanyang (I forgotten the name) says that the Boon Lay int is a very important interchange in Singapore. It was because it manage the most important services like the JIS service.Originally posted by Scania:Not just that, complains about drivers of that route group, efficiency among other things. -
Eh not by depot, but by interchange. You can have one very good and one very bad route group by one depot.Originally posted by chickenlittle2:Actually it is obvious that SLBP would win the award.

IMHO, BBDEP/ARBP is the worst depot...
Buses are maintained badly (Striders, MK3 rattle)
Patches not very nice (like the ones on seats/seatbacks), usually different colour...
Buses dirty
Buses everytime got problem (breakdown, etc) -
Ya, i think nt for SLBP because they are the first!Originally posted by Scania:Eh not by depot, but by interchange. You can have one very good and one very bad route group by one depot. -

The post makes me want to laugh... I have seen the "Green Man" of JE int doing nothing but seating inside the Control room in his HOME CLOTHES and talking loudy on his handphone.
