You just wait at the Lot 1 Bus stop confirm you can catch one Hino Volgren -
Most common service to find Hinos are 925. 927 has one. Well, hinos have a strong ZF Hino Engine and the suspension is rated stiff and the seats are non-fabric, so the seats aren't that dusty.
Recomended taking it on service 925. -
Ofcuz strong ! 13 litre engine leh , so far the largest engine in terms of capacity to be fitted on a city bus in SG .Originally posted by tintinspartan:Most common service to find Hinos are 925. 927 has one.

There are pros and cons...the cons is that when you reach the carpark at Kranji reservoir, with N Parks not maintaining the car park well enough (and possibly because of the rise in metal prices), you get trenches instead of drains covered by metal covers. A Hino with its stiff suspension would almost immediately pass the momentum to the passenger. A Nissan would probably be the best thing to travel on these roads (though it would bounce a lot)Originally posted by tintinspartan:Most common service to find Hinos are 925. 927 has one.

sit outside lot1 bus stop confirm can see
maybe sometimes lucky can see UD nissan too -
Today was the first time I took Nissan after a few months! OMG! 376Z was bouncing even on smooth roads! Like AYE! The bus couldn't remain stable at all! And some more the bounces are very hard, like sudden jerks. You whole rubcage feels painful because of the sharp movements!Originally posted by Scania:A Nissan would probably be the best thing to travel on these roads (though it would bounce a lot)

- There is a perm Hino slot on 985/985W. Thanks to TIB696A which got into accident. It could usually be found on S Shift. -
Many SLs says that Hino performance are good but the brake sucks big time.You will experience hard brake/jerking if the SL aren't skill enough
-
Never taken a perm before
TIB905Y - Svc 77
TIB952K - Svc 985W
TIB954E - Svc 985W -
Hino volgren buses were the first "smiley" buses introduced by Tibs in 1999. Still remembered that service 961 was the 1st to have such buses, after which it was redeployed over to service 188 when Tibs took over this bus service from SBS.

Always see 2 Hinos cameo on 172(whole day) everyday.Originally posted by TIB 589B:172, 307, 975, 985 have cameo Hino Volgren also

Also all Hinos have cameo on 172. -
Seems like ever since ex CSS Nissan UDs went into KJDEP and deployed on services 925/975, there were more DAFs and Hinos running around cameoing on other services (eg. saw DAF cameoing on service 61 and 176 last Friday)

OMG, i didn't know. Very interestingOriginally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Ofcuz strong ! 13 litre engine leh , so far the largest engine in terms of capacity to be fitted on a city bus in SG . -
They were also the first buses to run on Express 521 (now part of 963).Originally posted by TIB1018B:Hino volgren buses were the first "smiley" buses introduced by Tibs in 1999.

try Service 172 too.

Yes! The reason why Tibs decided to stop at the 16th Hino.Originally posted by carbikebus:Many SLs says that Hino performance are good but the brake sucks big time.You will experience hard brake/jerking if the SL aren't skill enough

Hino has quite a poor suspension.Originally posted by ^tamago^:Yes! The reason why Tibs decided to stop at the 16th Hino.
Try 945 (if it ever appears again)
It cant handle the 13+ humps per trip -
Yup, TIB950R. This bus was initially under WLDEP for the purpose of introducing a new smiley bus on a new express service 521 (now service 963). The rest of the smiley Hinos were under KJDEP. TIB950R was eventually transferred to KJDEP too after a period of time.Originally posted by Scania:They were also the first buses to run on Express 521 (now part of 963). -
So far only got 12 Hinos in allOriginally posted by ^tamago^:Yes! The reason why Tibs decided to stop at the 16th Hino.

By the way, what does
3. TIB947B, TIB948Z, TIB950R are manufactured by Dennis.
4. TIB949X, TIB951M - TIB957Y are manufactured by Hino.

Whoever edited the Hino page on sgwiki, please own up. ALL of the Hinos are manufactured by Hino. Dennis does NOT produce Hinos on behalf of Hino and vice versa. Don't copy wholesale from LTA page without thinking. LTA page have mistakes, like wrong VIN, wrong Manufacturer (like TIB427K as a Margius Deutz instead of Mercedes Benz). Possibly someone at TIBS mixed up the previous batch of buses and this batch of Hinos or some of the PA Lances were originally meant for these regos. -
