Services with majority-DD fleets
-
Service 2
Its small permanent fleet is made up of solely Volvo Olympian 3-Axle, the majority of its operating fleet is made of cameos and spares, so it often gets Mk3s but Olympians are still the majority.
Service 10
Vast majority of its fleet made up of Leylands with a few Volvo Olympians and Mk4 DMs / Striders.
Service 12
Only has a single permanent single decker, a Mk4 DM3500, and the rest are all Volvo Olympians.

You missed out Svc 25!!! Pampered bus route with VSOs.

Oh yes, thanks bro. It is SBS2721R. Come to think of it again, that 28XX bus is actually on Service 10. Thanks again!Originally posted by delonchew:Dude, it's SBS2721R, the one with the Cathay Pacific ads.

Don't forget the 0405s,MK2s & MK3s on sv 51
Svs 161 too do had majority DDs right? -
Service 161 has only 4 DDs. That makes up less than 50% of the fleet.Originally posted by BlessingSatan:Don't forget the 0405s,MK2s & MK3s on sv 51

Service 168's fleet consists of 6 DDs and 5 SDs.
Someone mentioned in other post that service 168 should have full DD (I can't find the thread, can the kind soul identify yourself or tell me the thread?). On Oct 27 2003, SBS Transit did try out a full DD fleet for service 168, but apparently it failed. -

Sv 168 / Sv 161 should then perhaps have full DD fleet during peak hours / on weekends as the DDs go out 100% seating and the SDs with plenty standing. It should be like Sv 969, on weekends it has a majority bendy fleet.
As for the Sv 12 Mk4s, I have only seen the Total Defense bus recently, the Cathay Pacific one I havent seen for ages.
I do not think Sv 25 has majority DD, it has tons of Merz, 9 Super Olympians, and several Leylands only. -

I show you the perm list then u can continue arguing your point.Originally posted by leeJZ:I do not think Sv 25 has majority DD, it has tons of Merz, 9 Super Olympians, and several Leylands only.
Maybe it just happens that you seem to see SD 25 more often than DD 25.

Wah Sv 25 has so many DDs? Those O405s keep following me around while the VSOs / LO 3x keep playing hide-and-seek....
-
It would be hard for SBST to do so as many other services have additional DDs added in during weekends.Originally posted by leeJZ:I was the one

I would prefer 168 to have one or two more. Service 161 can stay the same. The load of sv 161 is high is due to the headway of 17 mins. Perhaps they can shorten it. -
What about the Jurong Industrial services, those 24x and 25x services? A lot of those SBS 72xx buses have been transferred from BN to the SLBP. Are these DD used to ply these industrial services, or a mixture of DD and single-decks?

Your problem loh.Originally posted by leeJZ:Wah Sv 25 has so many DDs? Those O405s keep following me around while the VSOs / LO 3x keep playing hide-and-seek.... The DDs on Sv. 25 tend to operate during the day and disappear at night. On weekends the number drops substantially. -
Qutie a number of VSOs usually hibernate at AMK Depot towards the end of the day (evening) and during weekends. A bit of a waste...Originally posted by SBS9818A:Your problem loh. The DDs on Sv. 25 tend to operate during the day and disappear at night. On weekends the number drops substantially. -
251, 252 and 255 use some MK2s. 246, 249, 254, 257 use full VO2x DDs. in the past, all the JIS used LO2x...Originally posted by off_service:Most industrial services are full DD fleet, except some like sv 252. -
Yes. If I'm not wrong only 1 VSO will operate through the operating hours. VSOs leaving Ang Mo Kio Int after 6.30pm usually will end their day at Bedok Int, VSOs reaching Ang Mo Kio Int after 7 plus pm will end their day after that.Originally posted by foxtrot1985:Qutie a number of VSOs usually hibernate at AMK Depot towards the end of the day (evening) and during weekends.

Speaking of which SBS 9801 Y of 28 and SBS 9830 M of 31 are split shift buses. I'm not sure about the rest though..

Split-shift timetable. They might as well redeploy those buggers! Or is it only a show of face?Originally posted by off_service:Yes.
