Interested in the demise of the CRBs and mkIIs?
-
For fans of these buses (including me) , this is not to encourage joy in the demise of these buses.
Well, everybody knows that the mkIIs and CRBs will leave us soon, now who will take their places. As these buses number up to 400 or so, SBST will have to find replacements to fill the vaccum, agreed? Who will take their places?
Well, for me, I do not mind seeing artic. buses, but I doubt that SBST will purchase them. -
In my opinion:
SBST > DDs
TIBS(SMRTB) > Bendies -
it's very likely that the 200-odd Mark II's are going to be replaced by 100 O.500LE-CNG's. dun fret, there are more than 200 spare buses for sbst to deploy around.
-
I think this buses will cost a bomb.
-
How there can be 200 spare buses? So many buses cut after the cut on deployments?Originally posted by ^tamago^:it's very likely that the 200-odd Mark II's are going to be replaced by 100 O.500LE-CNG's. dun fret, there are more than 200 spare buses for sbst to deploy around. -
Maybe these buses are moving spare parts for the others.

The sooner the Mk IIs go, the better. I am sick of looking at them. As for the CRBs, they could do better if preserved. They beat the Mk IIs hands down. These are the Queen of SBST fleet.

But overall, it is SMRT's Habit bendy that is the best.

This year, a Sv 903 bus got burnt at Marsiling... Others was last year... The only SBS bus was burnt was the MK4 at Chinatown. It also became a debate on the parliment on the safety of bendiesOriginally posted by BluBlur:Any evidence to back your words? -
Yup that was 1110S, on my neighbourhood feeder.Originally posted by sbst275:This year, a Sv 903 bus got burnt at Marsiling... Others was last year... The only SBS bus was burnt was the MK4 at Chinatown. It also became a debate on the parliment on the safety of bendies
Other than that I don't think there are Habit buses that caught fire. It's distributed among the Scania, DAFs and MB itself. -

A number of DAFs have been scrapped due to fire. But this thread seems to be turning into one for discussing about burnt buses. I wonder what happened to the thread for discussing about buses scrapped due to fires.

Im gonna MIss all the Mk2s.. and the next bus that im goanna miss is the CRBs.. that will be gone by 2006..

Just when I had a second chance in taking one of the CRBs on 101, I ended up taking 200R, aaaiiiii, even though I love them and even manamed myself after one of them, I conclude that I have no affinity with them.

Update your list... Now it is on 90 after 3875 went over and took the full day shift operating from 0610-2300. 3621P is on 125. There are practically only left 3621P that is 'perm' at AMDEP other than the non revenue 3624G. 3625D runs around... Can someone help me on a fleet list?Originally posted by SBS9818A:SBS 3622L is AMDEP 125.
