  BR always get bullied. the remaining BR VOs from either 28, 88, 154 would probably be sucked up to 161 to replace the LO3x. i dun think they would take from 60. i pity 28 and 60 BCs driving LO3x thru the narrow stretches. i salute them esp 28 BCs. 161 doesnt have much steep turns yet the SL makes noise. if you hate driving LO, dun drive then. there mus be a line drawn across. abit of work wun kill. that should explain to you, why 161 got 3 B9TLs at first. 161 has got a good share of B10TLs already. compare it to 166 or even 168. it doesnt even serve town.

  2758 is now a BN bus.
  2822 is in SL.

  Pardon me for being blunt. If you are complaining about 161 SLs making noise, explain to me about 25 then. I suppose you have extensive knowledge of why 25 are getting so many newer buses. Please don't give me the "competition with 854" reason.

  i dont see the Toa Payoh Route Group SLs of those routes like 28 where they are lots of sharp turnings using LO3x buses and 157 due to a lack of time but still using their LO3x buses..dun see them complaining as much and so why should some of the SLs be so pushy? 25 and 161 have more than enough time and the route is good for LO3x cos there are not as many sharp turning as 28 or even 60..

  LO3x buses may be tougher to drive..spare a thought for other services too?

  still remember the time when 88 was infested with those buses and services like 70 were getting so many of them..there should be equal distribution of the LO3x

  u can give a pathetic excuse that im arrogant when ur unable to rebutt to my argument or even better still take the whole clan and start flaming against me in any way possible so as not to feel so vulnerable but what i feel is true is true..u cant change a fact

  AFAIK, weekends for Service 161, they were given less than 1 hour to complete the whole trip from 1 end to another, and it can be quite rushing for the BCs as well. (Not sure whether currently they were given more running time for it or remains)

  And yeah... Things may not be fair for the deployment side, this is a fact.. Some services may be flooded with LO3x, but what to do? Ultimately it's up to the dispatcher's decision to decide everything.. The most that they (SLs) can do is to either request to drive other buses for the day, or chao geng until the bus breakdown, and changed to another bus..

  From the company's POV the LO 3 axles are just like any other buses they have in the fleet. Harder to drive? Blame it on the 1993 technology. There are many hidden factors like maintenance, mileages, costs, management level decisions and constraints among others. Of course, nobody wants to do things the hard way, especially so for older drivers. We have to understand that driving a LO 3 axles at the age of 45 is way different from driving at age of 25.

  Spare a thought for other services. Again, it all boils down to management decision again. If one day SBS Transit decides to change all the B9TLs on service 88 to LO 3 axles again, there's nothing anyone can do.

  So I can say the "equal distribution of the LO3x" is impossible to happen unless the management decides one day to change their style of operations.

  What's good for us may not be good for the company in terms of operations and cost efficiency.

  2758 is now a BN bus.
  2822 is in SL.

  
  If HK BCs can do it..
  I dont understand why SIngapore BCs cant do it.
  
  Driving a LO here is alot more relax as compare to driving a LO in HK.

  Not bad about driving LOs,At least more powerful than Batch 2/3 sluggish VOs or VSOs

  well priority for newer buses should be given to services which have bigger demand and ply the city..161's demand isnt as great as lets say 168? but 168 are fine with their LO3x? why?

  56 cleared their LO3x which is good..133 and 166 should clear too

  Why not you go and be the amdep starter, call the shots and see what new deployments we have. Wait for SBST for an opening for that post and go apply for it.

  This thread is abt redeployments. Again, it depends on what SBST wants to put which bus on which service. Each of us here has different thinkings. If SBST could cater to all of our needs, wouldn't SBST be buying whole fleet of new buses and scrap ALL old buses? Dots...

  we're talking about favourtism not about trying to remove ALL the old buses with new ones..i think old buses are just as good but there should be a mixture in the fleets of services...ever wondered why 197 has the poor conditioned buses? while 62 or 80 has the better conditioned buses? shouldnt there be a balance or an unbiasedness when it comes to giving good conditioned buses? 80 has a strong demand..it is understandable why routes that jus got double deckers like 59, 186, 225 or 243 use the older buses as the drivers MAY have jus picked up double deckers or it could be as a trial to see if the load is favourable for the doubledeckers to remain..

  SBS369M could possibly be the replacement for SBS2758K that ran to BN lemme go n spot the buses in its fleet in the days to come..
