No fleet add for 124 after extension? I think there should be fleet add of 1-2 bus.
-
22 April 2013 is the day I see both 169 and 964 MAN arriving at berth together
-
There are random B9TLs doing 243G but still no perm. And there are many spare Batch 3 Wrights available now.
-
Does svc 83 ever get cameo DDs?
-
Since the CDGE bodied B9TLs were fairly modern buses in 2006 but were not fitted with electronic signage as standard, one can probably guess that Coolair eds would probably look odd on them. :p
Actually the reason for not fitting electronic signage as standard on the cdge B9TLs is not known, though it is likely due to back the majority of the SBST fleet was still using the widely used plastic signage.

The SBS Transit Scania K230UB Gemilang bodywork design seems to be based on the Scania Omnicity but likely not licensed bodywork design afaik.

Saw bunching of 4 DDs on 147 this morning at Bendemeer Road around 8.45 in the morning. 1 of it was 147A. and all 4 of them were one behind the other. I don't know what the BCs were thinking. Can't one drive faster and go ahead? Or one slow down.
Waste of precious resources!!!
-
I feel svc 8 better to be full BR cause of the distance and those Cgbp 8 buses can go to 88 in exchange
-
svc 28 and 185 got massive DD upgrades in its fleet.
-
svc 70, 79 got one more BSEP addition. Wonder how come LTA did not choose services where it has not given BSEP yet.
-
Saw 4 dds 88 just now at along Hougang Avenue 8 towards PSR INT at around 9 am in the morning,I don't why the buses go at one shot.I think 2 DDs 88 is enough to cope with the loading,why need 4 dds?
-
The announcements from the trains on the new SMRT Buses sounded like a weird and bad idea when they were first introduced on the OC500LEs back then. The announcements might cause the bus to become too noisy was one of the reasons.
Now most of us probably have gotten used to it and don't mind it at all...I guess?

Bunching. I am sure SBST does not want them to go together.
And many times BCs play games. Seen many BCs driving extremely slow, and many BCs who drive very fast as they do not have many pax to take on bus stops. I have seen this on 147 many times esp during morning peak towards CBD. You can spot 3-4 DDs easily bunching up, one of them will be 147A and the BCs drive like a train, rather than one of them slowing down and keeping a 2-3 mins separation.
On Bendemeer Rd, if you keep 2-3 mins separation, you can still get good number of pax.

Some BCs, think their time got alot, then drive slow slow, then when DDU finally beep beep beep, then chiong mode all the way. 88A BCs have DAMN LOT time. So they incidentally bunch up with other 88 buses coming past and it's purpose is defeated when it reaches the bus stop LATER than the 88 bus.
