Excuse my ignorance about buses, but when bus service stops around 1am all the buses go to the depots? Always thought they snoozed at the interchange.
Oh and what kind of bus is a VSO? -
Buses park in Depots for SBS
VSO is a zero step boarding DD. -
The interchanges are deserted in the middle of the night. If you're interested in bike racing or roller blading or watever.. u can try out the interchange compounds between 0130 - 0445.Originally posted by leeJZ:Excuse my ignorance about buses, but when bus service stops around 1am all the buses go to the depots?

Gundu acts his own special self....
BTW thanks for the replies, now if Tampines/Pasir Ris could get more TIBS service and if the TIBS website wasnt a bunch of crap (SBS is tons better) then I could learn more about those TIBS buses... -
One more thing, I've noticed the SBS website doesn't include the fourth main kind of buses, the Mercedes ones that look square. 53 seems to have plenty of them, what are they called?
-
They are known as the Duple-Metsec (DM) Mercedes Benz O405, or in short MB O405 DM. http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/knowmore_busmodels_01.asp - Refer to somewhere near the middle of this page.[/url]Originally posted by leeJZ:One more thing, I've noticed the SBS website doesn't include the fourth main kind of buses, the Mercedes ones that look square. 53 seems to have plenty of them, what are they called? -

Thanks a lot. Oh and one more question - CRB translation?

9818, the NAC, PAC, FAC are services, not bus models
As for ELBO, it is not zero step! Take a trip on these buses and you notice that there is a step at the exit! -
9818,
look at the start of the topic. Didn't NAC, PAC, FAC are the qns? I assume that they are services not model types (OAC, CAC, NAC)
