Ya lor..Originally posted by ^tamago^:The intended deployment keeps changing hor.

Yeah, like service 60.Originally posted by off_service:Ya lor.. I think now we can see the K230s on services we most unexpected.. -
How about svc 130? because it passes by Sing Ming estate, Mouth Avernia Hospital, Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital (Although no stop there)
-
I think now they are deploying services that doesnt pose a threat to the front bumper and not where they go. Then again... depends on the road conditions of the service they wanna put on.Originally posted by bus555:How about svc 130? because it passes by Sing Ming estate, Mouth Avernia Hospital, Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital (Although no stop there) -

5A/14P. there's 9 full day buses on S60.Originally posted by SBS9889U:SBS 8093 E did A/P with crossover to Sv60A (Shift ??A/14P) while SBS 8094 C do halfway then back to BR le
8093E initially did 20S. but swapped with 8094C when AM Peak ends. I think 8094C got some problem -
SBS 481 X replaced 20S during PM Peak.Originally posted by service_238:5A/14P. there's 9 full day buses on S60.

Today SBS 100 X also did Sv60, leaving SBS 94 E and SBS 160 Y not on Sv60 today. -

Yes that's right. I took SBS8094C the 7.29am trip from Eunos Int. BC ask the green martian to go up and assist him before he started the trip. SBS8094C was on 5A shift, while SBS8093E did 20S driven by the S-shift auntie. 20S did a few downroutes from Bedok Reservoir.Originally posted by service_238:5A/14P. there's 9 full day buses on S60.

I went home and came back to the interchange at about 11.30am. The auntie went up 8094C and then the guy BC came down and walked over to 8093E. Auntie then pressed OFF SERVICE and drove off 8094C.
Heard from another bus fan in the afternoon that 8094C appeared at Eunos Int with RUMAH TINGGI 63 on EDS. Should be driven by S63 service leader cuz brbp S63 only got one s-shift and perm BC is the service leader. -

0160Y on 410 today.Originally posted by SBS9889U:SBS 481 X replaced 20S during PM Peak.

If we follow the previous pattern, when 63 received it's K230s, one 63 bus (0261P) was sent to replace 0088Z on 410.
Now that 60 has also received K230s, and 0160Y is doing 410 also, I wonder what happens next. -
what's new.. bishan takes second hand buses again.Originally posted by Oceane:0160Y on 410 today.

You can't really say that. AMDEP and BRBP are under 1 group so it's buses are interchangeable. I guess what they are doing is send extra buses to replace other buses. But for what reason, I don't know.Originally posted by SBS9818A:what's new.. bishan takes second hand buses again. -
Dun worry lah,i saw at least 10 k230s @ AMDEP.Probably Bishan svs will get after this?Originally posted by SBS9818A:what's new.. bishan takes second hand buses again. -
Well Service 60 definitely needs a few more. After that it may be given to St. Mikes Route Group buses.Originally posted by carbikebus:Dun worry lah,i saw at least 10 k230s @ AMDEP.Probably Bishan svs will get after this? -
St Mikes Route Group??Originally posted by Oceane:Well Service 60 definitely needs a few more. After that it may be given to St. Mikes Route Group buses.
no such thing?! St Mikes is under Eunos Route Group, it used to be under Bishan Route Group
Eunos Route Group has got service like 124 and likely 131 to get the K230...21, 60 and 63 alr have B9TL and K230... but my 154 hopes are low
gimme back the VO Batch 2/3s la -
I was discussing with Scania luver yesterday about service 138 and that once there was a complain about it, when a passenger had to 'cram jam' with many other people late at night, the bus was leaky, hot and after that broke down along Mandai Road, making the pax wait along the road in rainy weather.
SBS Transit PR replied that 'sorry blah blah blah' and that new buses will be introduced to service 138 'first' when they arrive...
I suppose the grade from the exit of the Zoo cannot be handled by the Scania... Remeber the little climb that they have after leaving the bus bay at the loop stop?
Guess they had to eat their words cause somewhere along the route, Scanias cannot yet go and the fleet is now still Merc... -
