[Locked] SBS Transit orders 900 buses from Scania (Part 1)
-
think it is not for these two services. The bus was driven by a person in white. Another person in white was standing near the entrance. and there is a A4 size paper pasted on the windscreen. Typical of new bus just coming out from HGBA.. but i dunno why it is on SLE though. maybe coming back from Scania HQ?Originally posted by off_service:Service 168 impossible. The only single deck is going off soon..
Service 161.. better not.. bus cannot even get out of WRI..

There are about 12 new K230UBs inside amdep, SBS8114D wasn't parking together. Think SBS8122E and SBS8126U don't have the SCANIA badge above the bumper in the oval, only got the Scania logo.Originally posted by lemon1974:think it is not for these two services.

231G:Originally posted by choww:Very detailed
Can explain for 231, 232 and 235?
Used to be 3637U, 3654U and 3659G
Then 31L, 3654U and 3659G , 3637U went to am 107.
Then 169Z, 172M and 365Z
Then 120M, 172M and 365Z
Then Cut bus, left only 120M and 365Z.
394P came in from 231W and replaced 120M, so 394P and 365Z.
Then 394P got replaced by 384T, which got replaced by 374Y which again got replaced by 384T, dunno why they like to play with these 3 buses.
231W:
NAC Unknown, 3663T and another unknown NAC/CAC
Then 32J, 33G, 3663T
Then 33G went to either 232, 232G, 232W (depending on whether its before 19/5/2002) or 235, replaced by 390A
Then 32J swap with 3703L of br 238, 390A, 3663T and 3703L.
Then all kena replaced, 394P, 447X, 479D.
Then cut bus, 394P left 231W, fleet exist till now.
232 unknown, unclear, need to check tickets, just know that 3616E was perm on 232, 3700U was perm since NAC times on either G or W.
Funny thing is although 232 pass by my pri school, I don't remember it too clearly.
235:
NACs times, there was 3668E doing 235
3604P, 3620S and 3661Z (NAC Times on 23
Then, 2 of the following: 33G, 34D, 35B + 3661Z.
Then OACs left for bndep and it became 3653Y, 3661Z and 3681R.
Then whole fleet change, 3769Y, 3774G and 3834S
Then cut bus and 3834S left for br 154 (replacing either 810E, 968R or 2692K (all hg 154--> br 154-->hgdep)), fleet remains the same till now.
237:
Probably the easiest to remember.
3578G, 3617C and 3682M
3617C then left for am 107, and then bn SP, which bndep then sent it to amdep for laid up together with 3616E. -
You forgot 3693G was 231W!!!Originally posted by Scania:232 unknown, unclear, need to check tickets, just know that 3616E was perm on 232, 3700U was perm since NAC times on either G or W.

232G/W
SBS 3575 P, SBS 3664 R, SBS 3699 R, SBS 3700 U, SBS 3722 G and 1 more bus
238 in 1999
SBS 3596 D, SBS 3598 Z, SBS 3599 X, SBS 3605 L, SBS 3613 M, SBS 3616 E, SBS 3625 D. Then we have 3652A 3703L and brothers around...
All the NACs gradually left, merc like 208U 226S 390A came about during the conversion period.
Before May 2002 was:
SBS 3605 L, SBS 3665 M, SBS 3668 E, SBS 3672 S, SBS 3680 T, SBS 3697 X, SBS 3722 G.
Since they went back to the current interchange, 32J replaces 3605L. S238 became FAC fleet.
112L evolved from a 232/238 AM Xover + Sat Midday xover to a 238 perm when 232 cut bus and 238 add bus simultaneously. Shortly after, 201M (bram SP) replaced it.
238 add fleet again as said earlier 3674L is the guy...
and the rest just refer to what Scania said earlier
238 faced fleet addition 3 times since 2000. Once was before 2002. I believe its a split shift addition. 2nd was on 2nd August 2004 during the 112L/201M era. That was when they added 1 full day bus. 3rd was on 3rd January 2005 when 3674L 17S came in. Fleet size stays till now.
As for Xovers. the 26/238 AM PM xover existed when I know the hobby in depth in late 2003. Then they added a 232/238 Saturday Midday xover. Gradually i found out 232/238 AM xover exists as well. When 112L left 232 the wkday xover went to 155. the saturday xover cease existance. Since then there's 4 xover slots throughout weekdays. Now there's only 3. 155/238 AM PM xover and the 26/238 PM Xover. 26/238 AM Xover was removed on 1 Oct 07. -
Please can the k230 go for Feeder, Townlink Services and Jurong Industrial Services and not go for Trunk Services, Chinatown Direct Services, Express Services, Fast Forward Services, Nite Owl Services, Parks Services, Stadium Direct Services, CityShopper Services and Premium Services

Notice tt the front & side destos are diff for diff buses...
Eg for Sv100, the front destos are fixed, Serangoon Int, Ghim Moh, side destos are the runnin type...
for sv123 Front Destos for the fixed line will indicate Bukit Merah Int, 2nd line will "flip" the major roads that it plies, side destos run, some don't.
Also note that sv123, sv63, sv64 buses have "Gong Xi Fa Cai" in chinese
