Does the VSO have more seats than the typical VO/LO? I've taken the VSO two times and the VO/LO plenty of times but isn't capacity about the same?Originally posted by th1988:Service 8 is very well respected. VSO on Sun when the demand is the lowest!
Agreed. BNDEP seems to be ill treating Svc 19 29 291 293 358 359 with those old rickety Scanias. Cant they at least repaint the bus so that it looks nicer?Originally posted by leeJZ:I think Townlink 291 in Tampines is too overrespected. They have several superbuses and all other buses plying the route are MK3s in new colors. Better to dump all the Scanias in old colors on the feeder/townlink services!
Services 29 (Tampines-Changi Village) and 19 (Tampines-Changi Airport Cargo Complex) needs something else besides old color Scanias. They only get new color Scanias (and MK3s once in a blue moon) occasionally for a few days.
But it'd be nice to see all services like Service 8, I've seen every type of bus on it except the long bus that Service 18 has.
291 is a pampered baby!Originally posted by service_238:Agreed. BNDEP seems to be ill treating Svc 19 29 291 293 358 359 with those old rickety Scanias. Cant they at least repaint the bus so that it looks nicer?
Although I'm a Scania fan, I'm with Airbus330Captain on this. As much as I love the Scanias, I would prefer if there are more varieties of buses at BNDEP, such as the MBO405s. I would love to see a change of buses at BNDEP. For now, I take comfort that the service I took regularly had a few Mark 3s (better than nothing). As for Service 10, more and more VO 3-axles are cameo-ing on it, apart from the perm SBS9661J.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Buses with scanias should be replaced with new ones. Don't blast me (Scania fans) but I am sick of them in my area. (only SBST' scanias, both OAC and CAC). I always avoid both of them .In addition, 143 should get some volvo buses, too many LO 3 axles and bus 10, what happen to the DD fleet apart from 9661? I can't take leyland buses on long journeys, I get a headache if I sleep on one.
I agree that service 10 should get more VOs. This service is the odd one out, having LO 3 axles from BNDEP.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Buses with scanias should be replaced with new ones.

I didn't know you love scanias. That is surprising.Originally posted by Superbus:Although I'm a Scania fan, I'm with Airbus330Captain on this.

Only the CAC CRBs. Not so for the OAC CRBs.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:I didn't know you love scanias. That is surprising.
B10TL comfortable ah? You kidding me?Originally posted by off_service:I agree that service 10 should get more VOs. This service is the odd one out, having LO 3 axles from BNDEP.
I am not that happy that SBST re-deployed the VSOs of service 143 to service 56. Service 143, which is a long route service, should have newer and more comfortable buses. This will not only benefit the passengers, but also the bus captains.
Last but not least, HGDEP!! Let go of some good buses to other areas!!!
For me mah! You can indulge yourself in my "untouchable list" Scanias.Originally posted by SBS9818A:B10TL comfortable ah? You kidding me?
VSO is much better than those crappy Scanias that dominate Services 19 and 29, both which I take quite frequently. At least it has the 'new' smell, like the NEL trains...Originally posted by SBS9818A:B10TL comfortable ah? You kidding me?
hahaa.... true.. other depots stole the Mk 3s from bram too. lol..Originally posted by Scania:Eh Those eastern guys here,
bndep STOLE our central Scanias 0031L(231G), 3659G(231G), 3661Z(235, once my sv238 KFC ad NAC Scania), 3663T(231W), 3664R(232), 3699R(232 then come back from bndep then 70 then gone again), 3702P(during its OAC days), 3703L(Toa Payoh's most famous CAC Scania cos its the first Scania CAC to be painted in Singapore 231W, ex-238 ) and many other NAC, CAC
