Today's bus Spotting
(a) To catch 9888Y.
(b) Catching MB O405 Volgren on TIBS Svc 965.
Results: FAIL (sighz
)
This is how it goes....
I departed from my house at 1330 hrs to Yishun to get my Bendy bus EZ Link card. Awaiting for Svc 853 to come at S'goon Central. Here it came, TIB 946D, the last Lance 245 in TIBS. The driver drove quite ok and it did arrive at the time I expected. 1410 hrs, I reached Yishun interchange. Rushed to TIBS Shop and got my Bendy bus Ez-Link Card. At 1432 hrs, I got onto Svc 965 to Sengkang. However, it WASN'T A MB O405 VOLGREN!!! Haiz. Blame on my luck of not getting a MB O405 volgren. Instead, I got onto a MB O405 Hispano (TIB 713). I liked the driver speeding on SLE n TPE!!! FULL SPEED ALONG the Expressways! Wah hoo! 1452 hrs, I reached Sengkang Interchange to wait for 9888Y. Sadly, after waiting for about 40 mins, it didn't appear within my expectation. It might have gone b4 me. Haiz . Then, I got onto SBS9379A of Svc 85 to Sin Lim Square to get something. Guess what? The driver drove SO SLOW as if the bus was an OLD Volkswagen Beetle!!!! He could only reach the maximum of the 3rd or 4th gear at about 55-60 km/h!! I felt like vomitting blood at that time. As a result, I got off the bloody bus at Bendemeer Rd and transfer to Svc 23. That driver was so gr8! He did some speeding along Jln Besar. After getting what i supposed to get from Sim Lim Square, I went to Selegie Rd to take any bus home. Feeling thirsty, I got myself a can of coke. As I pulled of the ring and drank the coke, I saw Svc 56 (SBS9000S)! Immediately, I alomost got choked! Since when 9000S became a permanent bus on Svc 56?! When the bus left, it did really sound like an old grandfather! Finally, I got onto TIB 1083L (svc 106) to get home. The driver was rather good in his driving skills! I thought that he might be in his 20's. (such a young driver..) -
My bus spotting was no better . I wanted to catch 9800A and Volgren hino today but didnt catch both buses . But i caught a couple of great buses today . Volgren mercedes (67 ) from CCK to Bedok and 1688T (bus 85 ) from Harbour Front to Orchard . Other then that , very ordinary day .

Since when is SBS 9000S a permanent bus on Sv. 56? Don't be presumptious. My spotting today was rather successful, did most of it in the car!Originally posted by SBS9816E:Today's bus Spotting

I spotted the Leyland Lynx in old livery(sigh) and a whole flotilla of TIBS/CSS buses chartered by City Harvest Church. -
Yeah, same here, was wondering why a buch of 5 MB 0405s sitting in Yishun Interchange with that CHC chartered tag in front of the windscreenOriginally posted by SBS9818A:Since when is SBS 9000S a permanent bus on Sv. 56?

Saw a Dennis Lance 245 on service 965 at Yishun today. Strange, it had been on 965 for the third time in a month -
Oh yes! I even spotted the Lynx at Yishun Bus Interchange yesterday!Originally posted by SBS9818A:Since when is SBS 9000S a permanent bus on Sv. 56? Don't be presumptious. My spotting today was rather successful, did most of it in the car!

Today bus spotting is better !! I managed to get a ride on 9815 (bus 56 ) and took 1 Volgren Mercedes (77 to Bukit Batok ) and then Volgren hino (bus 365 ) , from there I took bus 61 (Habit ) to NP bus stop to meet Fang Sheng (Offservice ) . We decided to take the old LO 2 Axles bus ( 7124) to Boon Lay . After dinner , we took Scania Elbo bus ( I was surprised Fang Sheng was willing to take ) , the bus sux but better then SBS's scania bus . After reaching woodlands . We wanted to take 912 Volgren mercedes bendy bus , but i ended up going home on volgren mercedes bendy bus on 969 (1180) and Fang Sheng going home on 962 (Habit bus )
Great trip today.
I am still looking for 9800A !!!!!!!!!!!!! -
I took TIB 1226 on 962. Great driver, great bus, great aircon. 962 always has 3 Bendys on Saturday, mostly of which from 963. Weekdays, depends, if no school (like now), Bendy won't be deployed.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Today bus spotting is better !!

Wah! You are so lucky!!! How I wish I could be lucky enough to get onto 9888Y or 2888T!Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Today bus spotting is better !!

Jack : Dont worry you will have a chance . 2888T will be on 518 for quite a while now , as for 9888 , its hard to say .
-
9888Y is permanently on Express 502.
-
I hope that I could catch these buses ASAP! I hope that it doesn't change to other svcs till May.

Bus spotting today .
Saw a M0405 SBS alexander body bus being towed by a Breakdown SBS truck at novena area . I am not sure what bus service and licence plate because I was standing opposite .
Saw 9803 on bus 8 !! I dont think bus 8 needs the VSO buses . I feel other services like 166 should get the VSO instead . Ohh well . -
166 doesn't need VSOs. It does rather well with VOs and LOs. Same for Sv. 56, but since they have VSOs I'm not complaining.
-
If the VOs did not go into 166, I think SBST might be deploying VSO on 166.Originally posted by SBS9818A:166 doesn't need VSOs. It does rather well with VOs and LOs. Same for Sv. 56, but since they have VSOs I'm not complaining. -
Saw SBS 940M deployed on Svc 186. It seems that LO 2 Axle are phasing out gradually for Svc 186.

If VSOs are deployed to 166, when would that happen?Originally posted by off_service:If the VOs did not go into 166, I think SBST might be deploying VSO on 166. -
The truth now is, VOs are on 166 and it's a LARGE number so we can kiss VSO goodbye for 166...Originally posted by oliver_yuen87:If VSOs are deployed to 166, when would that happen?
