Service 170 uses a large amount of buses compared to other services. Therefore, if a bus(es) needed to be repainted, they need to find replacement buses for the service.Originally posted by oliver_yuen87:Why are the buses not given the new SBS livery? and why are the drivers so unfriendly?
same here... argh.Originally posted by xian89:dun like to sit on Bus 170. It has a awful smell of those foriegn workers odour which make the bus stink like hell.
i was hoping for mk4s too...Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Yes, there has been plans to use mark 4 strider buses on bus 170 but I guess that plan had been shelved and now using all Mark 3 Volvo buses .
I dun think so.. it's a profitable service from Queens St. to JB. And Causeway Link will be operating buses from Kranji to JB also.. that'll be repetition alreadyOriginally posted by xin1jun2:it is said that 170 may be shortened to end at kranji there later this yr...perhaps we might see some other models of bus on 170

High chance that service 170 will be amended or withdrawn.Originally posted by oliver_yuen87:I dun think so.. it's a profitable service from Queens St. to JB. And Causeway Link will be operating buses from Kranji to JB also.. that'll be repetition already
Amended? How? To Woodlands?Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Amended please , go to north area hopefully !! Perhaps with superbuses in future ?
Please... i think they use the lousiest buses on 170. they wun use new buses for sure, coz of the blangaOriginally posted by SBS9816E:Amended? How? To Woodlands?
This is not the case. When service 67 was with SBST, Striders were used on them. I think probably the Strider buses (which Airbus330Captain mentioned about) might not be suitable for the endurance and the engine might be heated up.Originally posted by oliver_yuen87:Please... i think they use the lousiest buses on 170. they wun use new buses for sure, coz of the blanga
If service 170 is to be amended to the north, it will be direct competition with 4 TIBS services:Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Amended please , go to north area hopefully !! Perhaps with superbuses in future ?
Why wasn't Superbuses used then? Tibs using a lot of Bendy buses on 67 nowOriginally posted by off_service:This is not the case. When service 67 was with SBST, Striders were used on them.

Service 67 experience height limtations along Upper Bt Timah Road (along Mindef, Rail Mall and Hillview area)Originally posted by oliver_yuen87:Why wasn't Superbuses used then? Tibs using a lot of Bendy buses on 67 now
Remember service 5 used to have double-decks?Originally posted by off_service:Service 67 experience height limtations along Upper Bt Timah Road (along Mindef, Rail Mall and Hillview area)
Since 170 has so many ppl, they could use Superbus right?Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Amended please , go to north area hopefully !! Perhaps with superbuses in future ?

As in the case of service 170, 2 factors have to be considered:Originally posted by oliver_yuen87:Since 170 has so many ppl, they could use Superbus right?

Did service 5 serve Bt Timah area?Originally posted by oliver_yuen87:Remember service 5 used to have double-decks?
den y no tv mobile..Originally posted by off_service:As in the case of service 170, 2 factors have to be considered:
1. Can the checkpoint allow a 4.5 metres vehicle to enter?
2. Does the Malaysian Government allow that?
Of course, whether the bus company consider having superbuses on 170 or why they make certain decisions we don't know.
