There was a photo of the OCBC free bus in Lian He Zhao Bao. The Bus model seems to look like a VO3x bus. LHZB stated that passengers will get a free ride on 143 only! 143 had an OCBC bus which is a LO3x. Can anyone clarify this?

It was said that the free bus ride is only for 143. May I know what is the rego and the service of this bus (VO3x) from the website given? -
From the photo, the bus is a VO3x with red colour seats.Originally posted by sbs&tibs:http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/pop_up_ocbc.htm

Just a guess, the front desto number looks like 165.

So I think free rides are not available on that service although that service also had that OCBC poster.Originally posted by tranquilice:From the photo, the bus is a VO3x with red colour seats.

the bus is a 165 bus permer... take it to work everyday
but i am not surprised if they take it to 143 for a cameo -
I wonder how many free buses are needed to serve passengers. If OCBC needs more than 1, that 165 bus is the best choice.It would be nice to see 143 using VOs.Originally posted by SBST390:the bus is a 165 bus permer... take it to work everyday

I know a VO3x with the OCBC ad but it's permanent on 132 instead. Rego is SBS9529J.
-
yes that's the bus that will be used and is used by 143 for these 3 days. There's a notice at TPY on it. There were 5/6 trips for today: 0702 hrs, 09xx hrs, 12xx hrs, 16xx hrs, 20xx hrs and 2330 hrs.Originally posted by foxtrot1985:I know a VO3x with the OCBC ad but it's permanent on 132 instead.

The notice was actually for 9014 but the SBST staff pasted 9529J rego above it. -
All departing from Toa Payoh?Originally posted by service_238:yes that's the bus that will be used and is used by 143 for these 3 days. There's a notice at TPY on it. There were 5/6 trips for today: 0702 hrs, 09xx hrs, 12xx hrs, 16xx hrs, 20xx hrs and 2330 hrs.

yes. I was at TPY today.. didnt go to JUR though...Originally posted by tranquilice:All departing from Toa Payoh? -
Wonder why SBST have to temporarily x-fer a HGDEP bus over to Sv. 143 when a Sv. 88 VO can easily do the job (eg 9618K, 9620C)
-
Maybe service 88 VO do not have the ad?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Wonder why SBST have to temporarily x-fer a HGDEP bus over to Sv. 143 when a Sv. 88 VO can easily do the job (eg 9618K, 9620C) -
Plastering an ad only takes a day.Originally posted by tranquilice:Maybe service 88 VO do not have the ad? -
Dont forget that there's a contract with the companies. They would rather deploy a bus on 143 that has the ad presently instead of plastering it.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Plastering an ad only takes a day.
As to why 143? Maybe SBST or OCBC chose that route :S -
Sv. 143 because it passes through town.Originally posted by service_238:Dont forget that there's a contract with the companies. They would rather deploy a bus on 143 that has the ad presently instead of plastering it.

saw SBS 9035B with the ad today.its on svc 10 though.
-
I think ultimately 9529 will be used, as it's rego is pasted on TPY office.Originally posted by gynobcard:saw SBS 9035B with the ad today.its on svc 10 though. -
Well, 132 also passes through town, so why not give free rides on 132 instead since it will be less troublesome?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Sv. 143 because it passes through town.
Also, the bus in the SBST website ad looks like it is a 165 bus and someone said that there is a perm 165 bus with an OCBC ad but I haven't seen it yet. I've only seen VO3X with OCBC ad on 132 so far. -
yes... its 9529... saw it turn out from JE st 13 to JE central when i came out of church @ 133oish.
guess they have to put it onm 143 as it passes thru a good part of town... plus it has good loading. same reasons apply when they are retaining the LO3x on the service due to the advertisement contracts. -
ok I took that bus today from TPY to JUR and from JUR to Pasir Panjang Rd. This bus possesses a 132 red/white sticker and a black/white VLS Trial next to it. I concluded that this bus was a perm 132 bus when it was still with HGDEP. However, it's now at BBDEP and i think it's perm on 165. This bus was most likely swapped with SBS 9014 C for these 3 days.
The bus departed from TPY @1528 hrs with 95% capacity and the upper deck full! I reckon the previous bus, SBS 9021 G had a nice time fetching few people from TPY. It took around 45 min from TPY to New Bridge Rd. The bus was slow from TPY all the way to New Bridge Rd.
The next bus, SBS 0349 X, overtook SBS 9529 J @Clemenceau Ave. The bus after that, SBS 9122 Z, caught up with SBS 9529 J @West Coast Highway.
There were a few pax on the upper deck i noticed took the full trip from TPY to JUR. The trip took 1 hr 40-45 min. This was due to the early part of the trip that delayed it.
The bus arrived @JUR @1713 hrs, definitely behind schedule. As i got to the TV, I saw that this bus would be departing @1722 hrs! I pity the driver man...
On the return trip.. nothing great happened as i alighted at Pasir Panjang Rd. hehehe...
Note: There were no timings at JUR but there were at TPY. The timings for the last 2 trips yesterday @TPY were 1840 2215 hrs. Today are 0751 1137 1528 1932 2301 hrs.
