End of an era - Last NAC Sv deployed w/ aircon bus
-
Sv 251 has been deployed w/ a Batch 2 VO3x alrdy.
End of an era, signifying there's no more NAC svs in Singapore.. Wonder has 192 been given aircon buses for A/ P shifts?
-
Coincidentally in Hong Kong, KMB Sv 66 has gone fully aircon, signifying all the Tuen Mun Highway bus svs has gone fully aircon over the weekend
-
Sooner or later all the SBST services including JIS will go fully aircon.
All the NAC VO2x got to go latest by early 2014 (provided they get 2 years extension).
-
but this might speed up laying up' and deregging of 2 thevo2x？
-
I dun think most VO2x would get any extension

Actually, 251 has been getting aircon dd cameos months ago, and even 0405s before..
192 is getting Lo3x on and off also , today was 9123X
-
254 if I am not wrong is actually the last service.
Started having Aircon DD cameos last month. -
Most of the NAC DD are now on 254 and 257, with more NAC DD than AC DD.
255 mostly aircon already....
192 and 193 getting more and more single deck scanias... LOL... -

254, 257 are the longest routing JIS, of course there's more NAC buses.Back then when SBS began deploying ADDs to JIS, 246 & 251 was left out.
You should observe the peak hr full fleet for better comparison.
-
Initially the earlier batch of the NAC VO2x had a 2 year extension. But recently the later batches of VO2x are being mass laid up even before reaching 17 years. Probably due to the Batch 2 Wrights rolling in.

-
It's a pity.
Better catch all these non air con buses soon before they are gone with history...
-
With more NAC VO2x being laid up from tomorrow, catching a non air con bus in JIS services becomes more difficult. NAC buses will be history soon.
-
182, 251 spotted with another ADD...
left 193 yet to see ADD
-
I tot 182 has 9129E all the while?
-
Should be like this from what I observed..
246: 3 VO2x, 3 ADD
251: 3 VO2x, 2 ADD
182: 4 VO2x, 2 LO3x, 3 B10M
192: 7 VO2x, 1 LO3x, 1 B10M, 2 K230UB
193: 7 VO2x, 1 LO3x, 2 B10M, 2 K230UB
Total: 24 VO2x...
249, 252, 254, 255 & 257.. mmm... 254, 255 & 257 mostly saw was ADDs.

I think for 254, 255 & 257, max is 4 or 5 VO2x left. -
251 seems to have 3 ADD.. 9433,9499 & 9063
-
To me, it's natural that 192 & 193 lag behind in the ADD wave...
Their overall demand is pretty low, I mean even to per trip basis.
-
I think at the going rate, by end of this year.. Even 192 & 193 can't escape seeing their main VO2x fleet to disappear...

Eh.. This time round it's likely for goodEven 192's case, no perm ADD, but it's deployed on a daily basis.
