Sv 170
-
Have a few questions about the buses used for sv 170.
a)What components of the buses used are different from normal ones? I know the emergency door has been repainted red and white stripes. There is an addition light( brake light?) above the advertisement panel on the rear.There is the Malaysian speed limit sticker pasted also. Of coz the green sign saying Larkin and Queen Street . What else?
b) Must the buses used to ply sv170 be of white and red body with old SBS logo? Can/ Have any buses which had been repainted with red and purple coat be used on 170?
c) Cos I saw a SBS 829C (red/purple coat) on Sv 63. It has a additional brake light above the rear ad panel. Should be reserved for Sv 170 or any other reason? I can think of it being transferred from Sv 170 into other services but i dont remember seeing this bus on Sv 170 b4. Why is this bus (SBS 829C) so special? -
Buses painted with the new SBS Transit livery cannot be used on Sv 170 because of political reasons - needs permission from Johor officials. Bueracratic stuff.Originally posted by ula_man:Have a few questions about the buses used for sv 170.

As for 892C, perhaps that bus was originally one reserved for Sv 170 (SBS has loads of MK3s, about 60+ reserved for Sv 170 at BBDEP) but then SBS decided they had enough so they transferred that bus out to other services? -
There is however a bus on 170 with a Seoul Garden full body ad.

I don't think the government of malaysia even noticed that...so unreliableOriginally posted by foxtrot1985:There is however a bus on 170 with a Seoul Garden full body ad.

Many of the other JB MK 3s are having their repainting and might go on 170 cos I think the Malaysia autorities let them in (????). Those with brake light spoil (bbdep proposely make spoil one) are not those that are going into Malaysia.Originally posted by leeJZ:Buses painted with the new SBS Transit livery cannot be used on Sv 170 because of political reasons - needs permission from Johor officials.

More like installed and not activated, ie not connected to the brake pedal.Originally posted by Scania:Many of the other JB MK 3s are having their repainting and might go on 170 cos I think the Malaysia autorities let them in (????).

829Cis a HGDEP spare bus
difference between 170 MKIIIs and normal MKIIIs:
the buses have a seat barrier along some rows of seats lining the asile of the bus engine/gearbox refurbished interior comprises maroon plastic 3rd brake light KTM sticker on doors --> no alighting at KTM station COE label at the front of the bus (near the right wiper when viewed from the front) details of SBST's address etc on the side of the bus (painted in black) information panels above the windows/along the roof giving details of the frequency of the service/immigration details -
Its not details of frequency but a fare table. Sv. 170 is categorized as "Bas Henti-Henti" (literally it means "stop-stop bus" and it implies to buses which call at request stops.) Operators of buses in this category must display a copy of the fare table, which had been approved by the authorities, on every bus that serve a particular route. Besides this, a copy of the operating licence must also be displayed.Originally posted by gynobcard:829Cis a HGDEP spare bus information panels above the windows/along the roof giving details of the frequency of the service/immigration details -
I thougt there is also another panel that gives the departure timings from Queen St terminal?Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:Its not details of frequency but a fare table.

This one looks manually sprayed on it instead of a sticker. It is 2.5 times bigger than normal mk3 addresses.Originally posted by cck_190:I thought all buses have that??? -
Apart from its distinctive size, the details are indicated in Malay.Originally posted by service_238:This one looks manually sprayed on it instead of a sticker. It is 2.5 times bigger than normal mk3 addresses.

they display a list of all the departure timings from Larkin/Kota Raya II. can check it out.Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:Its not details of frequency but a fare table.

Ah... no wonder the 170 I boarded earlier today felt so smooth and comfortable for an MKIII. Even the brakes are so smooth.Originally posted by gynobcard: engine/gearbox refurbished -
Yep. It's individually spray-painted onOriginally posted by service_238:This one looks manually sprayed on it instead of a sticker. It is 2.5 times bigger than normal mk3 addresses. -
Of course. Except for the third brake light (which was not mandatory when the Mk 2 served 170) everything else was in place.Originally posted by SBS9845X:So troublesome to make MK3 go malaysia...last time use MK2 Alexander ps got like that meh? -
I think the third brake light regulation was enacted before the Mk IIIs went north. Striders were once considered to be used for Sv. 170, interestingly.Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:Of course.

Suprisingly most of the JB MK3s i've board before doesn't had any peoples vandalised it.

I spotted one repainted JB Mark 3 this morning operating on Service 32. This is what I saw:- Fresh coat of paint Malaysian speed-limit sticker Working third brake light New black box with updated details, ie SBS Transit Limited "Pintu Kecemasan" sticker pasted at the exterior of the emergency exit door
Based on that, I have a feeling that Malaysian authorities have allowed or will allow the deployment of SBS Transit-liveried JB Mark 3s. This could take place very soon, I hope.

Saw an identical one on Sv 156 today. Anyway, why does malaysia not allow our new livery? Are they mad? Do they have a grudge over purple?
Cheers and warm regards -
Possible. Malaysian authorities might have reversed their earlier decision. Wonder if 765 and 770 (non-JB Mk IIIs) will be repainted.Originally posted by Superbus:I spotted one repainted JB Mark 3 this morning operating on Service 32.

Roger that.. SBS 0786 S has it.Originally posted by Superbus:I spotted one repainted JB Mark 3 this morning operating on Service 32.

So, there is a high chance that repainted MK3 would be used to serve 170. So far, i saw SBS 828E, SBS 829C are installed with 3rd brake light and black box with SBS details( damn clear writing!)Like what other says, SBS 786S too.
Actually there had been wholly painted ads like Maybank b4. Shouldnt be much restrictions to have only white unrepainted buses. -
got one specific whole bus ad... for the Air Asia Mastercard...
something about riding the 170 bus is part of the ad...
