Bus spotting today
-
Today I was suppose to try and catch 9800A on bus 502 but the bus didnt turned out at all and I spent 5 hrs at Boon lay spotting buses and waiting for that bus with Fang Sheng who came along . Anyway , We decided to take a UD bus 187 ( our last bus ride on that bus just to see how underpower that bus is ) and it was surely disappointing for the driver and for us . After that , we took 9823( on bus 161 to Hougang to check whether the 9800A is over there , after dinner we decided to take 87 (9621) to bedok , we spotted for a while , FS wanted to take VSO on bus 168 , but none came so he took MK5 bus ( Am i right FS ? ) and I took strider bus 2656 ( Sub bus for bus 9 ) home .

Hey captain! I think Svc 161 got a switch of buses with Svc 25. Svc 25 got 9847R today! Haha! Looks like these VSO are playing a switch-a-VSOs game! SBS2656 is a bus of Svc 82, if I am not wrong.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Today I was suppose to try and catch 9800A on bus 502 but the bus didnt turned out at all and I spent 5 hrs at Boon lay spotting buses and waiting for that bus with Fang Sheng who came along .

The "MK5" Charles is saying here refers to MK4 DM3500. We called it MK5 due to an error I made last time.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Today I was suppose to try and catch 9800A on bus 502 but the bus didnt turned out at all and I spent 5 hrs at Boon lay spotting buses and waiting for that bus with Fang Sheng who came along .

Captain and off_service caught SBS 9800 A on Express 511! That's a good news for them.
For me, I have benifitted too! I caught SBS 1881T on Service 105! I am lucky too cos I caught the Volvo Mk 2 bus with underfloor a/c! Therefore, 3 of us are benefitted today! -

My bus-spotting today (21 April)
Board Tibs 963 (427E) along AYE at Clementi. Journey takes 45 mins to reach Woodlands. Along Woodlands Ave 3, I saw Tibs bus 1228L off service going to the interchange. Alighted and wait to see if there's any chance to take 168 VSO to Bedok, but couldn't see any at the bus park. Finally at 11.15 am, I saw 9843B on Svc 161 arriving at the interchange. Still didn't see any VSO on Svc 168, so I take bus 2724H to Bedok, this took me 55 minutes. Along Bedok North Ave 3, I saw a MB 0405 (DM) on Svc 168 on the opposite side. Reached Bedok interchange at 12.20 pm, I saw 9837U on Svc 25. Board CSS 608 (181A) and saw 9820S on Svc 25 arriving. Alighted at the Nicoll Highway area and walk to Beach Rd, saw an accident involving a Tibs 980 Scania bus, a taxi and a motorbike at the bus stop outside Keypoint. After that, take Tibs 961 (forgot the reg. no) to Chinatown and transfer to SBST 147 (9216L) to Clementi, this 147 bus has very few passengers and journey was ok until it reached Clementi when the bus was struck in a heavy jam due to an accident of a car and a motorbike near NTUC Fairprice. -
By the way , Fang Sheng saw 9829 with bus advertisment !!! The first VSO with advertisment !!

The bus is spotting a beige (of coz got other colors, bg is beige) overall advertisement. I think from the front, the bus is not repainted.

Heh Heh! I boarded SBS 9800 A! Quite a smooth journey. Also, SBS 9038 J on Express 502! Ish! Why Express 502 must have LO 3 Axle? What I thought is Express 502 should use VO 3 Axle.

Yah they should transfer to 133 if possible and the 3 VSO buses go to 502 . Anyone with me ?
