Next round:
SBST = 8 (needs some WAB DD replacements), 42 (when SBS993K goes off), 115 (when SBS926E goes off)
SMRT = 176, 188
Originally posted by JurongWestresident:Meanwhile, 179's bus fleet/route is quite similar to 199's, yet unlike 199, 179 is still not WA. I am just wondering. Is the reason because most (if not all) of the bus stops along 179 route at NTU are not WA, that's why until now, 179 still not WA?
Heard that it is all bus stops except one which are WAB...
9*, 11, 42*, 74, 81*, 153, 160, 170, 179, 193*, 324, 386
* Needs slight conversion (1 bus)

BRBP is not a problem, CGBP needs 4 replacements.
9 also just needs 1 replacement.
Service 74e and 91 had ett revision on Tues 23/9. I wonder if it is something to do with 74 going WAB on that day or not.
Actually, BNDEP/CGBP have a handful of Citaro intakes that are still not assigned to perm yet. Even the 66xx ones are still running around as spare.
It would be good if these 66xx one by one comes in perm to kick out all the MK4s. I believe by doing so, services 9, 42, 81 etc should be able to go WAB.

Yes.. they dont need 179 to go WAB as it is student service except the one stop before PIE and aft st 91.

no.. they are having the special timetable due to the F1 race and revert to normal timetable on 23/9/14. a lot of services all are having special timetable from 17/9 to 22/9.

Hi Mr SBS3004X, I am sorry for writing wrong information in my earlier posting. Indeed, most bus stops along 179 route are Wheelchair Accessible. The only one bus stop that is not Wheelchair Accessible is bus stop #27221 (Sch of CEE). That one I think it is because the bus stop is too steep (gradient too great) for wheelchair to board/alight the bus.

Eh...what does service guides got to do with services turning WAB?
SBS919B will be de-reg within 1 month, so just kick it to SP and replace with a KUB or Citaro.

Coz once it turns WAB, the service guides will need to have the WAB symbol. This is what he is saying.

I'm actually quite surprised that 92 is declared WAB..
The only time was when I got a KUB on 92A ![]()

Looks like they will replace 5 or 6 of the DM3500s on it with K230UBs or Citaros...

I really feel like he just wants every bus service in SG to be WAB, even if some don't even need to be WAB in the first place...

Originally posted by carbikebus:Govt should lift the ban of buying new low entry buses.. SBST can opt for K250UB,K320UB,Citaro LE,B8RLE. SMRT can opt for MAN LE,VDL LE
LOL, I refering to how not all services need to become WAB, not bus models... But I won't be surprised if Scania K250UB or other models are bought under BSEP and likely under the two operators. Just that some people will complain about the mass number of new buses from the same company, no diversity and so on...
188 candidates if several bendy slots convert to DDs
963 if O405s slots convert to A22s and all those bendy slots to DDs
190.
Upgrade all O405s to ADLs. Use the ADLs to replace outgoing O405Gs as well.
This way, there should be enough WAB buses.
