  Is service 96 going to use ADDs?
  
  Has 199 started using ADDs?
  
  Is 93 going to be mainly FAC like 154?
  
  Is 60 PAC? If it is, it is strange as now they don't deploy ADDs to PAC services.
  
  Has 78, 240, 243, 334 used ADDs?
  
  That's all

  1. There are trials, but current no aircon DDs on service 96.
  
  2. Service 199 has been using aircon DDs for quite some time already.
  
  3. Not sure, but there is a significant increase in aircon buses in service 93's fleet.
  
  4. Service 60 is PAC when it started. Aircon DDs deployed due to the high load.
  
  5. Services 78 and 243 do not use aircon DDs.

  for Tampines Int to MOM Occupational Safety & Health (Training & Promotion) Centre:
  
  Take MRT from Tampines to Orchard, then you go to Orchard Blvd exit and you take Svc 16 from Orchard Blvd (Orchard Station) to Kim Seng Rd (Kim Seng Plaza).

  Take 168 from Bedok Int to Woodlands Int then take 925 from Woodlands. Your friend will probably have to walk in because the 925 doesnt enter Neo Tiew Crescent (weekend svc only), the entrance of Sungei Buloh.

  As what delonchew has mentioned, please note 925 will not ply Sungei Buloh on 14th Feb as it is not a Sunday, nor a public holiday. Your friend will have to walk along Neo Tiew Crescent (I think) to get to the SB entrance. Refer to online bus guide and streetdirectory for exact walking details.

  That's all

  1. Trials have been conducted before, apparently its not feasible
  2. Sv. 199 is still using 2-axle VOs AFAIK.
  3. Sv. 93 is losing 2-axle VOs to JIS.
  4. Yes, Sv. 60 has perm NAC Mk IIs
  5. Sv. 240 and Sv. 243 are O405-only services.

  GETTING TO SUNGEI BULOH WETLAND RESERVE ON WEEKDAYS.
  
  Like many had mentioned, Service 925 does not operate till Sungei Buloh on weekdays. Please take note of a few points:
  
  1. Please alight from the service 925 bus once it turned into a carpark (you can see the Kranji Dam / Reservoir).
  
  2. Refer to the map at the entrance of the carpark. A 20 minutes walk is expected (as mentioned on the map).
  
  3. For more information on getting there, please refer to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve website at: http://www.sbwr.org.sg/public/info_getthere.php

  Service 19 is PAC with majority Scania AC buses.
  
  Service 35 is PAC altough I have never seen myself AC buses on this service. It is FAC when introduced and consisted mainly of OAC Scania buses. VO 2-axles used to be in the fleet and now the fleet consists mainly of Scania NAC buses.
  
  DM3500 on service 186 is a news to me. Have to check it out.
  
  The VO 2-axles on service 285 have been transferred away.

  For service 35, it will be almost full or full aircon service on Sundays. The fleet consists mainly of MK4 DM3500.

  Similarly to 35, 90 also has full aircon fleet of MBO405 buses on weekends.

  SBST have a habit of hiding NAC buses on weekends. Wonder why.
• th1988

  7 Feb 04, 16:03

  Well, I may have the reason as SBS have replied to me a "rubbish" reply on 90.
• SBS9818A

  7 Feb 04, 16:05

  Apparently on weekends not so many buses are needed, so SBST keeps the NAC buses, unless necessary.
• th1988

  7 Feb 04, 16:27

  What they just told me in the reply was "it is untrue that AC buses were not deployed on off peak"

  I don't understand what you're driving at.
• th1988

  7 Feb 04, 17:31

  My meaning is, it is like your 5 day NAC, 2 day FAC to make it PAC theory just to say that sv is still PAC.
  
  Also they claimed that ASD are depoyed throughout the day on wkdays.
