Guess the next WAB service(s) thread

last SG · 2012-02-01T13:55:05+00:00

I think that svc 105 will go WAB.Almost 20 KUBS!over 80% WAB quota.

178 tiok WAB = throw $1000 into the dustbin.

And I will loot it and spend it.

178 should improve their freq n add buses not WAB.What d use of WAB when freq sucks?

SBS8676Z SG

61 & 851 diff cases bro.Along the way got many Sbst buses cover.854 from Yis to Hg wah Liao packed like shit unless they make 14 SDs 10 bendies then settled.

Dun forget that there's another SBST service 25 to duplicate 854's route from Hougang Ave 2 all the way to Bedok. And service 25 having plenty of DDs as well as WAB status is good enough to snatch away service 854's business along the parallel stretch

161 will but maybe not yet.
Both of their DM3500s still had the ads.
74 is clear-cut with the WEGs.

If you dont know,74 got WEGs cameo b4,B9TL(non-WEG) and citaro for cameo WAB services.

SBS 6078 M SG

854 might end up like 61 and 851 with more single deckers replacing bendies and improving the frequencies. Main obstacle that 854 for not being WAB is that Ang Mo Kio depot has not taken in enough WAB MAN buses.

Go read the wiki.SMRT AMDEP has no perm man buses inside for any service or SPs.

325 also waiting for right exact moment like 82, just like a tiger waiting in the bushes to suprise their prey.
In this case, it is 82 and 325 waiting to collect MORE/SOME WAB buses to perm them.
Both FULL FLEET got NONE BUSES that had Advertisement. They both also got buses that are waiting to retire.
This condition makes it perfect for WAB status.

178... just took full route last week around 12.30pm from Boon Lay to Woodlands.

Reaching Bt Batok only a total of 8 passengers took the bus. Bt Batok... a bit healthier load.

but definitely most healthy was in Marsiling to Woodlands. Sad that people stay here wait 20mins per bus. that's 3 buses per hour!

WOW. I'm sure you've confused Service 81 with another service.

No WAB buses perm on Service 81?
What is SBS8583H 8585C 8596X 8598R 8600S 8602L 8611K then? Aren't all they all perm BN 81? Aren't they all Euro V KUBs? Aren't they all wheelchair-accessible buses? In case you've been living in your own world, those KUBs have been perm on 81 for 3 years already.

No 81 permers with advertisement?
8583H has a Kings' Footwear rear ad.
9453T has a Tiger Beer advert.
9573E has a SBST Excellence Service Awards ad.
You still say there's no 81 permers with adverts?

There's 81 permers waiting to retire?
9453T 9528L 9573E their lifespan expiry dates are 05 Mar 2014, 01 Jun 2014, 06 Aug 2014. And it is almost definitely that they will extend them beyond those dates till reach the max 19 years, cause those dates are only up till 17 years. So that means another 4 years.

Want to pick on the Striders? Sure. 1969A's lifespan expiry is on 10 Jan 2013, 2614S & 2633L's is 13 May 2013. But that is only up till 17 years too. Not even 19 years lifespan. So even then, can last till 2015. That's 3 years more.
The B10TLs? 9801Y's lifespan expiry is on 16 Feb 2020, 9837U & 9843B's on 10 Apr 2020.
And we all know the Euro Vs were only registered in 2009.

Service 81 simply doesn't get WAB service status yet because it needs the Wrights, there's no way they can afford to put more SD WABs without attracting complaints from the huge amount of pax daily. Plus Citaros won't work cause 81 depends alot on the standing space in KUBs for crush loading from Tampines to Hougang during peak hours and weekends.
And because 9453T 9573E both have ad contracts, and the SL simply doesn't like or want to give his B10TLs away, there's no Wrights yet even though BNDEP has been getting Wrights for some time now. The points you raised were all not valid simply, and I've proven to you why.

Don't tell me I misunderstood your post. So sad to tell you that in this forum, once you've made more than a couple of mistakes to prove that you're unreliable and speaking gibberish, that's it. Be prepared to be shot at.

SBS2656X SG

WOW. I'm sure you've confused Service 81 with another service.

Sorry it's 82, not 81. Sorry but I made you to put all these informations out.
And, yes. SLBP doesn't give their WEG out that easily. HGDEP is more open,
loves to send new WEG on 62, 80 and 87. And, on ya! I did not mention 81 DID NOT HAVE ANY WAB PERMs. Open your eyes and read. I just meant that they want to collect some more.

You also posted this on page 6 :
''
81 is very clear cut. It is waiting on new Wrights to come and the same right moment when it's 3 perm VO3xs are all adless at the same time. Highly unlikely it will ever get any Citaro perms since the perm Euro V KUBs are already struggling with crush loading during peak hours.
''
Well ?

SBS 9631X SG

LOL dude. When you said waiting to collect WAB buses to perm them, it came across to me that you were trying to mean that 81 did not have any WAB perms in the first place. So therefore it needs to collect the WAB perms to start perming 81. If you were trying to mean that 81 already had WABs, then i would have thought that sentence should appear as 'collect more WAB perms'.

Sure, I opened my eyes very wide to see what you typed. I just interpreted it differently from you did.

Just so sad that you don't have eyes then, cause otherwise you wouldn't have mistyped 82 for 81 and yet not realise your mistake until I quoted you.

You want to shoot me? Your level not there yet.

So what are you trying to imply by the words I posted and you quoted in red? That post was to refer that 81 needs at least 3 more WABs to hit the minimum required, and those 3 Wrights are more likely to replace the 3 VO3x when they are all adless, the current ad contracts will limit when 81 will get the Wrights.

save your breath and time my friend. no point trying to enlighten the 'un-enlightenable'. you can see for yourself the quality of the posts and the recalcitrant use of 'jumpbus' to describe cameo. i almost fell off my chair when SL in your post was being mixed up with SLBP!

SBS 9631X SG

Ahh yes I guess i should take your advice, at least someone sees my point, thanks dude.

Okay, I got what you are trying to say, I'm sorry about the mistake. I will edit the post.
So, whatever the reason, those ads are on those buses since when?
AD contracts usually expires after 4 months.

SBS 9631X SG

Typically Tiger Beer ads last more than a year. Previous gen Tiger Beer ads have lasted more than a year, so I don't see why this gen wouldn't be the same.

The SBST EXSA ad usually lasts till the next round of EXSA ad, which would only be pasted in 2013 as well.

So very apparently, your assumption that ad contracts only for 4 months while valid for some ads, doesn't apply to the ads on 9453T 9573E as well. Observe and you will see. The Farmhouse Milk ads have been on the KUBs and all for like what close to 2 years?

SBS8676Z SG

WOW. I'm sure you've confused Service 81 with another service.

No big deal. Look at 88, it has a handful of CDGE B9TLs that have served this service since 2006 but now 88 is still unable to go WAB due to TPY int infrastructure.

163 also have a number of K230UBs that have served for 4 years and till now 163 is yet to go WAB.

For info, non WAB services =/= no WAB perms at all

I have got no heck idea why you are quoting me on that post, I was replying to 'SBS2656X's post on 81 not having WAB perms at all. He had said that 81 had no WAB perms, and I was just trying to say that 81 had KUBs for 3 years already, so obviously his claim on 81 not having WABs was not valid.
Can you see his post on that first and then read my response to his (which is the post you quoted) before shooting me?

So what's the link between 88 163 and 81 now? I wasn't even trying to say that 81 should go WAB because they have KUBs for 3 years please. WTH. Can you read properly first also open your eyes wider to read?

I'm in this longer than you and obviously I know that no WAB status doesn't mean there's no WAB perms. I see 88 everyday too so obviously I know they aren't WAB certified yet even though they had their CDGE B9s for ages.

SBS 1000U SG

I think LTA should modify the berths for Toa Payoh interchange soon.

They can't let bus services there be WAB-less forever...
