Yes...
Was on an A95 (my maiden ride) and wanted to see its performance on TPE... but BC was crawling at 35kmh... smh
Only as the bus arrived at Sembawang Rd did the BC realised he fked up... DDU alr show huge delay...
The bus then went faster than a Ferrari...

Snail buses. Will the frequency get screwed up?

got see the duty code? Till now we still cannot establish the duty codes for the 2 buses on 307A...

Seen 307A depart and park at CCK INT before... 1st day of operation was SMB291L, last week i saw SMB315C parked with 307A EDS then depart as 307A...
Originally posted by AtlasSava:Not sure if there will be any changes in the future but I think 172 has gotten a relatively sizeable fleet add of 3 buses; 1 Rigid and 2 DDs, bringing it to a total of 19 buses. Was cameo spotting today and here are the buses I spotted:
Permanent Buses Spotted
- SMB2E, SMB5Y, SMB30Z, SMB56A, SMB57Y, SMB59S (OC)
- TIB1030P, TIB1084J, TIB1085G, TIB1086D (O405G HH)
Cameo Buses Spotted
- SMB17M (perm?), SMB40U, SMB119C (OC)
- SMB292J, SMB1524J (A22)
- SG5049R, SG5066R (B9TL)
- SG5746L, SG5747J (A95)
Not sure if there are additional buses I didn't spot but this should be about it.
SMB122S too..spotted during AM...

So that would be 20 buses. I once saw a duty card having duty number 172PM12, so that means its AP01 to AP12, S101 to S107 and S201 assuming that AP90 and AP91 are gone.

With 28 buses running at 1hr 07mins runtime,The poor BCs had to crawl somewhere.
S3 & S34 runtime also adjust with the latter added 6 mins.

All the 307As i boarded so far i cant see duty code...
SBS6784 have 2 perm sticker paste together (one on top/one below).
First one is sv138. 2nd one indicate "PAR72". Not sure what it mean
8778 (138B perm bus) also have similar perm sticker (but it is side by side).
Part time do sv72?

Not too sure but i think i saw 172S202 as well for weekdays...
Then its good to take cab or taxi for transport . and there is a tool Ubergo by which u can get your fare estimates before riding and check that ur ride is in your budget or not.
sorry for the very late post, but on 3rd Oct 2016, SG1719S was on 167 that morning and I've been noticing SG1093M (and SG1094K today) on 261 lately

307S103
Originally posted by SMB5007J:307S103
The other slot should likely be 307S104... coz i dun see any 307A trips for 307S101, 307S102, 307S105, 307S201 and 307S202 thus far.. unless its an AP slot...
SMB339J with DDU, with loud radiator sound (not sure if its radiator but its a very loud sound when bus is moving as well as if bus moving high speed)
Today SMB315C 307AM01, first bus
If i not wrong 336S - 339J already with DDU.. And don't think its the radiator, sounds abit like the sound from newer voith A22s when kickdownOriginally posted by SMB42P:SMB339J with DDU, with loud radiator sound (not sure if its radiator but its a very loud sound when bus is moving as well as if bus moving high speed)

no leh..its alot louder than that... something similar to SMB3117M... it sounds like its gonna breakdown anytime....
Hmm.. Shall go board one day if it still cameo 307 or 302, though from outside dont hear like 3117M..Originally posted by SMB42P:no leh..its alot louder than that... something similar to SMB3117M... it sounds like its gonna breakdown anytime....
anyway, SMB36H (ex-RWS8) still with RWS8 handover poster
911 downgraded to 2-3 AP bendy slots for this week.
1325S rplc 1173K, while 1173K jump to S194.
SBS3221K on 256 today showing wrong route details on the side EDS. It shows 'Jurong West St 81' and 'Upp Jurong Rd' which appeared to be the route details of 258.
Keep forgetting, wanted to post since last week..
For a few weeks the trees along Old CCK Rd was not trimmed... one of the trees just in front of Army Logistic Base have a branch that is swinging very low... everytime 172 DD goes by there will be a loud bump at the left roof area... i pity those new SG5066R and SG5067M... the BCs seems dun care just bump into it only.. taken a few DDs the past few weeks like SG5049R and SG5067M the BC just bump into it...
This week i haven got a chance to board a DD 172 Boon Lay bound so not sure if fixed
