Are u sure go ahead have lack of SD? SG1030-1050 can be given to GA. But instead, they took in 3300-3322 (except 3316/3319). I would rather GA took in 1030-1050 n give 3300-3322 to smrt
Further there are so many citaros from SBST which did not went over. GA can easily took in these Citaros as well.
They can overcome those SD problems by convert 4 S136 SDs to DDs,Covert 4 S3 SDs to DDs.

136 doesn't deserve DDs bro. Another case of 83/119?

I think it deserve to have DDs during the AM peak and lunch time when schools end. It is the scheduler role to ensure that the buses are being allocated at the correct timing. This is just my opinion.

In the good old days AMDEP gave 136 a VO3X crossover from 22.

So why there are 2 DDs from 22 almost every morning on 136?

There is a statement that say that Volvo East Asia Pte Ltd, won a LTA contract to supply 176 double deck buses in 2015.
i think that explain the rego range of SG5000-SG5175.

Do you mean that these 176 Volvo B9TLs are additional and not the ones of the remaining order of the 415 B9TLs which was placed by SBST initially and then transferred to the government?

yes.... it seem like so, cos the earlier 415 buses were placed by SBST in 2014.
(and 264 were under SBST, 161 under BSEP)...this additional 176 buses is placed by LTA (should be similar to the 60 A95 orders) as well.

Saw SG5145X with trade plate driven by Volvo Mechanic at Bartley Rd

Can try 2 for peak hours and weekends bro..

Actually why don't they try other bodyworks for the 176 units?

SBST ordered 415 B9TLs but I think they are using for SBST's own use to replace VO3X Batch 2 and 3s only, thus completing the job of conversion to WAB.
There are not enough DDs to cover their replacements of other buses, or whom they need for new operator. So LTA ordered 176 buses on its own.

maybe you should really go down to Upp S'goon Rd around HG Ave 2 to see how high the loading is arnd evening peak. Everytime I pass by there, I see full to the door 136s.

Hi mr hgdep103, yes service 136 has DD loading at certain timings. I was inside the bus on many occasions too. Cheers. Thanks.

Okay good to know. Will try to take it. Maybe the new flats at Upper Serangoon Crescent/Rd has helped surge the load.

Actually 136 doesnt need many DDs,Just deploy 3 split DDs enough.Weekends can deploy 2-3 for the sake of Sgoon Gdns

Those buses probably won't come with the SBST base livery.
Most probably most of them have not arrived yet, those SG50XX and 51XX buses are mostly from the 415 buses. Then the 176 buses will be to replace the SBST buses transferred to the GCM.

Didn't you read the statement? It clearly say that 30 buses were delivered in 2015.
So what livery these buses are in?further in 2015 have LTA decided on the green colour theme?
Even the 415 buses order was placed earlier, the scheduled delivery were up to 2017. Volvo is capable of producing more buses at the same time. So delivery of the 415 buses go along with the delivery of the 176 buses. Just that some of these 176 buses were in SBST livery since they need to be deployed earlier b

It only says that 30 buses have been delivered to LTA.
The contract was awarded in 2015.

I know BCM gets spoken all the time now, but let's not forget that BSEP was once the hottest phrase in town.

READ again, it said as of 31st December 2015, 30 buses had been delivered to LTA. It takes time for a production line to transition to a new livery, particularly if the materials have already been ordered. Such materials include paint, vinyl stickers for the livery. Furthermore, as the buses first appeared in 2015, the livery wasn't even available for public voting, and as we found out, it took 5 months from the announcement of the new livery to the appearance of the first green Wright.

Don't bother reply to him...if nothing can come out right by the second reply I guess he's out. In any event, guess all these Batch 5 buses should be out by the end of this year.

Why not consolidate into batch 4?Afterall there is no significant difference,Unless using wing mirrors like E500/A95 or different interior..
