Bus spotting today
-
Hello guys , I went bus spotting today so bored at home today . I wanted to spot at airport but changed my mind .
I took SBS9831 on bus 31 to Toa Payoh ,I wanted to watch for VSO on bus 22 but seeing VSO on bus 31 , I took the bus with gee . Saw 9808 on bus 76 , 9803 , 9805 on bus 28 . When I reached Toa payoh , there were no sign of VSO buses .
I had lunch at macdonalds then went to buy something for my friend . After that , headed back to interchange . I saw a VSO bus from far when i saw the monitar , it was 9801 !!! I was absolutely delighted , I havent taken this particular bus before and to double check its correct , i went up to bus 28 there and saw it was the right bus .
I took the bus to Tampines , absolutely long and tiring journey but it was a great bus ride as the driver drove quite fast at certain sectors .
Now I have taken 31 different VSO buses . The only VSO buses i have not taken so far are 9800 .9812 , 9815, 9817, 9827 and 9835 to 9849 .
Going to tampines , I took bus 38 , a non-aircon scania n113 bus (yucks ) and suffered the rest of my journey to simei to meet up with my friends . I saw 9608 and 9637 on bus 28 , 41H on 196 .
Thats about it .
Cheers -

Well Captain, you are very lucky to catch 9801! 9608 n 9637 on 28? Oh no! 88 loses one VO liao!

Thanks , I suspect 88 might get VSO bus . I will keep an eye on bus 88 service .Originally posted by SBS9816E:Well Captain, you are very lucky to catch 9801! 9608 n 9637 on 28? Oh no! 88 loses one VO liao! -
I forgot to mention this , today while at toa payoh interchange . I saw 9000S , Fang Sheng recently took this bus
. I waited outside the door because i wanted to hear the engine starting . Buses that parks at toa payoh have to off the engines , thats the regulation (woo , love to hear those engine starting ) .
A black face driver came out and walked slowly to 9000S ( bus 143 ) and took quite some time to get the engine started , the exhaust gave a lot of black smoke and make a very reluntant start . That is LO bus for you . -
Very unfair to SBS Transit service 166.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Thanks , I suspect 88 might get VSO bus . I will keep an eye on bus 88 service . -
VSO bus engine start is so quiet and fast !! woooooo ....

Not really , 166 has quite a lot of VO buses and strider buses .Originally posted by off_service:Very unfair to SBS Transit service 166. -
Of course it does!!!!! That is why I like it 200%!!Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:VSO bus engine start is so quiet and fast !! woooooo .... -
Dont forget its a new bus , wait and see after 5 years .Originally posted by SBS9816E:Of course it does!!!!! That is why I like it 200%!! -
After 5 yrs, they will sound like a 20 yr old man. I hope that SBST maintains the VSOs well.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Dont forget its a new bus , wait and see after 5 years . -
I must say SBS 9000 S is one of the best Leyland buses I've ever took and it still stands, much better than many of the others.

lol , i have no comments about that .Originally posted by Jubilee777:I must say SBS 9000 S is one of the best Leyland buses I've ever took and it still stands, much better than many of the others. -
Tibs maintains its buses better. look at the 7-9-yr old MB O 405s..Originally posted by SBS9816E:After 5 yrs, they will sound like a 20 yr old man. I hope that SBST maintains the VSOs well. -
I'm speechless.Originally posted by Jubilee777:I must say SBS 9000 S is one of the best Leyland buses I've ever took and it still stands, much better than many of the others. -
It's generally cleaner and quieter than the other leyland buses of the same series... I do take 143 very frequently and I have been on 9000S for countless times...
And oh, the air con is nice too. -
"one of the best Leyland buses".. he's comparing leyland with leylands, see... leyland can never be compared to VOsOriginally posted by Jubilee777:I must say SBS 9000 S is one of the best Leyland buses I've ever took and it still stands, much better than many of the others. -
Ohh well , true . Anyway , the worst LO bus around i seen so far is 9037 sv bus 10 , the engine sounds real loud like as if it wants to explode .Originally posted by oliver_yuen87:"one of the best Leyland buses".. he's comparing leyland with leylands, see... leyland can never be compared to VOs -
i have seen green liquid leaking out of LOs. Is that the coolant? I have seen oil on the engine board of Mk3 also...

And crockoaches like to hide in the window dividers in Tibs MB O405. i emailed them to seal up the windows b4, but it's still not sealed but the crockoaches disappeared... must be the toilet air fresheners that killed them... mua ha ha

Tibs emphasize more on passenger comfort, bus safety and cleaniness.Originally posted by oliver_yuen87:And crockoaches like to hide in the window dividers in Tibs MB O405. i emailed them to seal up the windows b4, but it's still not sealed but the crockoaches disappeared... must be the toilet air fresheners that killed them... mua ha ha
