Sentosa Bus Green Line
-
Why is green line operated by Sentosa Development Corporation while the blue, yellow and red lines are operated by private bus operators?
The route of green line is:
Ferry Terminal
Underwater World/Siloso Beach Cable Car Underwater World/Siloso Beach Ferry Terminal
Isn't it more logical to go to Cable Car first from Ferry Terminal, then go to Underwater World/Siloso Beach? -
You mean those B7RLEs are operated by private bus operators. Eh, I thought they are owned by SDC, including the HarbourFront-Visitor's Centre shuttles?
Cheers and warm regards -
Yes, I guess those B7RLEs (in orange livery) are operated by private operators. SDC which operates the green line has its own fleet of NAC buses in green livery.Originally posted by Superbus:You mean those B7RLEs are operated by private bus operators.

I am inclined to believe that the orange buses are by private operators as I have seen some of those buses ferrying people in other parts of Singapore. Of course, these could be employee buses, though.Originally posted by Superbus:You mean those B7RLEs are operated by private bus operators.

The Volvo B7RLEs are operated by SDC. I asked a driver before.

These buses were once deployed on the Tiong Bahru MRT-Sentosa service (ex-Sentosa C) and WTC-Sentosa Visitor's Centre service (ex-Sentosa A). I believe these buses belongs to Woodlands Transport which took over the operations from SBSL. You can see them all over Singapore now as these buses are no longer used for the Sentosa shuttles.Originally posted by Yusry:I am inclined to believe that the orange buses are by private operators as I have seen some of those buses ferrying people in other parts of Singapore.

SDC owns the B7RLEs and the B7Rs, as reported in the media not long ago when SDC announces its acquisition of the so-called Singapore's first wheelchair-accessible buses.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

So that means the orange buses (in the photo above) and the green NAC buses are owned and operated by SDC? -
The buses that I have seen around Singapore are the B7Rs with the livery shown in the picture by Tranquilice above.Originally posted by Superbus:SDC owns the B7RLEs and the B7Rs, as reported in the media not long ago when SDC announces its acquisition of the so-called Singapore's first wheelchair-accessible buses.
So are those still SDC buses or Woodlands transport? The drivers are wearing the yellow shirts that I've seen on Sentosa bus drivers. -

When the news paper article said that the B7RLEs are wheel chair accessible, did they mean the buses have the wheel chair lift or what?
Cos I never noticed any wheel chair lifts on the buses. -

Tibs don't use Volvo busesOriginally posted by tranquilice:How about Tibs? Don't it needs new buses?
Maybe can expect Tibs to buy a real Citaro or a Hino/Scania -
Oh yes, I saw PA3730L at about 5.45pm at Bukit Panjang today too.Originally posted by Yusry:The buses that I have seen around Singapore are the B7Rs with the livery shown in the picture by Tranquilice above.

The RU series buses are owned by SDC. The PA4144Y, 4137 and 4138 buses are also SDC owned. The rest are by Woodlands Transport.Originally posted by Yusry:The buses that I have seen around Singapore are the B7Rs with the livery shown in the picture by Tranquilice above.

It's a nice bus but don't you think it's a bit too small? I mean, what SBS will bo looking for is a nice 11m long bus. Is there an 11m version of the B7RLE? And yes, keep the EDS so that people can know where the bus is heading.

The buses you mentioned are Volvo B7Rs.Originally posted by tranquilice:What are these buses? (highlighted in red)
Woodlands Transport owns which buses on Sentosa?
If I am not wrong, they are built with coach chassis. The low floor B7Rs (B7RLE) are in the range of RU 37xx.
Anyone confirm this? -
I looked at the photo I posted above which features a B7RLE, I can see that the rego is PA and not RU.Originally posted by off_service:The buses you mentioned are Volvo B7Rs.

I guess SDC owns the B7RLEs while Woodlands Transport owns the HarbourFront - VAC route buses. However, I have seen the latter operating on internal services (blue, red and yellow lines) last week. -

I believe the B7Rs are bought to beef up the internal services operated by WT. -
You mean small in amount or rego number is small to see?Originally posted by off_service:The number of PA-registered Volvo B7RLEs is very small.
