Comparing Buses Between Depots
-
Mercedes Benz O405:
SLBP:
- Seat bars rust
- Side handles of back seats have their leathers rotten
- Noisy engine
- Ground ripping off and looks old
- Some parts of buses in bad condition
- Vandalised seats not erased/repainted.
AMDEP:
SLBP:
- Seat bars repainted several times
- Good condition
- Silent engine
- Ground looks new
- Vandalised seats all repainted, refurbrished (seen on VO sv 25) -
You know me, and AMDEP has the best maintainance, previously ratty Scanias from BNDEP were given a new lease of life and now operate wonderfully.

Double post. look at next post

At least slbp keeps it buses clean externally (or if you don't agree with this, , you could at least say it keeps buses better than bndep). Bndep just don't care to wash and maintain their buses, thats why some buses transferred from amdep when good turn bad at bndep

BN got so bad meh?Originally posted by freakybuses:=AMDEP best, SLBP bad, BNDEP worst -
BNDEP is the only depot without a smaller twin...AMDEP has BRAM, BBDEP has ARBP...and SLBP is kinda tied to them also. Maybe a new LYBP (Loyang Bus Park)?
BNDEP buses are not that bad, with the exception of the OAC Scanias...SLBP Merz are not too good also.
btw speaking of the OAC Scanias, anyone seen Sv 19's Scania fleet? They seem to have ALL disappeared and replaced by BNDEP SP Mk3s... -

Depots/bus parks under AMDEP are BNDEP and BRAM, depots/bus parks under BBDEP are HGDEP, ARBP and SLBP. -
Why not call them BNBP or HGBP then?Originally posted by SBS9818A:BNDEP is not a depot. It is only a bus park.

They'd rather use original codes as if a name change were to take place, thousands of timesheets have to be reprinted.Originally posted by leeJZ:Why not call them BNBP or HGBP then? -
And you think they will reprint, SBS T's main aim is to safe money on buses only and spend a large amount on the NEL (in which most of the revenue of buses is transferred to the NEL costs).Originally posted by SBS9818A:They'd rather use original codes as if a name change were to take place, thousands of timesheets have to be reprinted. -
They should have probably waited for NEL to built after Punggol / Sengkang is fully developed...rite now still short of about 80,000 rides per day.Originally posted by Scania:And you think they will reprint, SBS T's main aim is to safe money on buses only and spend a large amount on the NEL (in which most of the revenue of buses is transferred to the NEL costs). -

I can say slbp is b/w the acceptable and good range, you haven't seen the good buses of slbp (which is a good number of MK2s, Mk5s), aint you. As for bndep, I can say the way it treats most of its buses is very bad (that the only bus I can mention proudly about bndep is 9608P), the others are very poorly maintained, both externally and internally, the lucky thing is that amdep and hgdep takes over some of the services that go to Bedok, Tampines and Pasir RisOriginally posted by sbs&tibs:BN got so bad meh? -
SLBP Merz are yucks...LOs & Mk5s are ok.Originally posted by Scania:I can say slbp is b/w the acceptable and good range, you haven't seen the good buses of slbp (which is a good number of MK2s, Mk5s), aint you.

I agree that BNDEP exteriors are poorly maintained, but interiors are still quite acceptable. -
Seems like you need to do some homework yourself before stating some facts here.Originally posted by leeJZ:They should have probably waited for NEL to built after Punggol / Sengkang is fully developed...rite now still short of about 80,000 rides per day.
A bias opinion you have there.Originally posted by Scania:I can say slbp is b/w the acceptable and good range, you haven't seen the good buses of slbp (which is a good number of MK2s, Mk5s), aint you.

Another one with bias opinion.Originally posted by leeJZ:SLBP Merz are yucks...LOs & Mk5s are ok.

To me, one problem why BNDEP mantainence is like that is because of the people running the place there. With such people, u get such buses. With AMDEP kinda people, u get -u-know-what- kinda buses. -

Support your answer by showing me SBST's Annual Report 2004Originally posted by Scania:And you think they will reprint, SBS T's main aim is to safe money on buses only and spend a large amount on the NEL (in which most of the revenue of buses is transferred to the NEL costs). -
If you want a:
'Mk 5' that has a worse suspension than a UD, try 2749 (SL 66) mobile massage chair, try 2703 (SL 66) O405 that can only crawl, try any one of those under SL. -
I saw this before on the yellow pagesOriginally posted by SBS9818A:BNDEP is not a depot. It is only a bus park.
Depots/bus parks under AMDEP are BNDEP and BRAM, depots/bus parks under BBDEP are HGDEP, ARBP and SLBP.
BNDEP is the Eastern district HQ. AMDEP is the Central District HQ. BRAM is HQ bus park. -
surprisingly, BRAM is commonly known as Toa Payoh Depot among SBST staff. (overheard @ TPY int yesterday)Originally posted by sbst275:I saw this before on the yellow pages

Can say so, except some like 139, almost all are based at BRAM. But BRAM, has BSH services.Originally posted by gynobcard:surprisingly, BRAM is commonly known as Toa Payoh Depot among SBST staff. (overheard @ TPY int yesterday)
