9634M then eventually go BN again right or AM? -
That time i was still 9 years old..... Dont really read up newspaper and use internet know nonthing about this accident juz that it left a deep impression on the weack scene..
That day afternoon after sch... i took bus 307 home.. while travelling along CCK DR before the bus turn into CCK AVE4 i saw a black car back was damaged badly.. If i am not wrong the whole bus was on the back of the bus... ( on top of the car ) It was a SV175 SBS bus... A NAC merz0405..
As my 307 is moving too fast i cant really see anyone in the car...

528X has a axle/hub reduction problem.Originally posted by TWS4793:My favourite LO.
I took SBS 0528X on Service 26 today. The engine sound of the bus seemed to sound strange as compared to my earlier ride on another Merc (SBS 0307S). I then checked the gearbox switch configuration and found '123NR'.
Is there a gearbox change similiar to the one on SBS 0496D?
Merc: 1 2 3 N R
Voith: 1 2 D N R
ZF: 1 2 3 D N R (the most number of buttons on a gear selector in Singapore). -
There was a malay family in it. The mother died in the wreckage. The child was still very young then and didnt know the mom died.Originally posted by patdog112:That time i was still 9 years old.....

Bus driver said he lost control of the bus and couldnt brake. The car driver was shocked to see the bus approaching the junction at such a fast speed. The car couldnt escape on time and the bus ended up on top of the car.
I recalled only those portion from the paper then... -

9064, 9120 was never HG, it was SL 502..

I would just like to bring up this topic of wastage of fuel on buses departing from depots to a particular "X" INT to start a trip.
1) Should 39 & 85 be partial AMDEP? It would definitely save a lot of fuel and time for the first bus that departs from Yishun as it has to travel a long way before it can start it's first trip @ Yishun. Putting it under partial AMDEP would help a lot on fuel saving.
2) Why is Service 198 fully BBDEP when it goes between BNL and BT Merah? I'm more likely inclined to think of 198 as partial SLBP and partial ARBP.
3) Why is Service 160 fully BBDEP when it starts trips from Jurong East which is more of SLBP side? Or is it that Jurong East is closer to BBDEP than SLBP? Anyway, there goes my hopes of seeing JB registered SBST O405.
4) Why is Service 197 partial HGDEP when it ends at Bedok, which is more of BNDEP side? The extra fuel wasted for buses to travel to Bedok from HGDEP than BNDEP is really a waste.
5) Now this is what puzzles me most. Why are services that ends at Eunos, like Services 63, 94 and 154 under BRBP control? I find that between the distance between BRBP to Eunos and the distance between BNDEP to Eunos, BNDEP to Eunos is definitely shorter.
I hope that someone out there can help solve these mysteries which have been hogging me for quite a while.

the 32 >> 11 crossover is another...
bus off service from Buona Vista, goes to Kallang to do 11. and after that, off service back to buona vista...
why not off service at Bedok instead.. nearer to kallang -

1) Same thing with Service 961 and 985. These changes take time. Service 39 was once under Ang Mo Kio Depot but probably such savings were not huge as many duties ended at the wrong side of the route. Service 85 and 100 is to be fully under Hougang Depot as it has the space to accomodate it as compared with Ang Mo Kio Depot which has many other services to attend to as well.Originally posted by Oceane:1) Should 39 & 85 be partial AMDEP?

2) Full Bt Batok Depot, Bt Merah RG service. Same thing. Soon Lee Bus Park probably already has its hands full, and Bt Batok Depot is right in the middle of two ends of this route. Why not?
3) Service 160 is a JB service. All JB service are under Bt Batok Depot.
4) Not only Service 197, many services at Bedok are controlled by Hougang Depot due to historical reasons. Some of them terminated at other termini which were under Hougang Depot control. Service 197 once terminated at Geylang (Lor 1) Terminal which is under Hougang Depot.
5) Serangoon Int was under Ang Mo Kio Depot and Eunos Int under Hougang Depot. However, in order to allow Hougang Depot to have better coordination with NEL on all bus interchanges/terminals associated with NEL, Serangoon Int was passed to Hougang Depot. Since Hougang Depot has to exchange another service over to Ang Mo Kio Depot or Braddell Bus Park, Eunos was chosen as the nearest candidate for this transfer. It is not all about fuel saving.

1) You just reminded me of something that I did see MBO405 on 39 but for a very short while only. Had wondered what happened to those O405.Originally posted by ^tamago^:1) Same thing with Service 961 and 985. These changes take time.

4) Interested to know more about it lol.
5) Oh I see... but to place Eunos under AMDEP or BRBP, which one better?

1) Those 0405s are from AM. Now 39 no longer under AM, naturally boh 0405 liao.Originally posted by Oceane:1) You just reminded me of something that I did see MBO405 on 39 but for a very short while only. Had wondered what happened to those O405.

Of course it's BRBP, it's nearer!Originally posted by Oceane:5) Oh I see... but to place Eunos under AMDEP or BRBP, which one better? -
these MBO405 went to 238Originally posted by Oceane:1) You just reminded me of something that I did see MBO405 on 39 but for a very short while only. Had wondered what happened to those O405. -
I have 1 more question (which I forgot to post just now )...
6) Why services that start at St. Michael's Ter, some like 131 under BRBP while others like 21 and 186 under AMDEP? Historical reason also? -
AM transfer to BR?Originally posted by BusSpeeder:these MBO405 went to 238 -
1) Full fleet transferred to AMDEP on 19/9/2004, some Merc's took over progressively (177A, 335K, 426G, 3828K, 3913Y), eventually full fleet was sent back to BNDEP on 31/7/2005 as AMDEP needs space to introduce services 57 and 58.Originally posted by Oceane:1) You just reminded me of something that I did see MBO405 on 39 but for a very short while only.
