Suggestions for SGWiki Buses

SBS9C SG

I feel that this thread is required if we are going to suggest changes to SGWiki. This thread can be used for correcting the specifications of a bus, adding additional information, page naming (such as allocation of bus batches) and fixing mistakes on the page. Deployments, re-deployments, new registrations of buses and adverts will still use their respective topics.

Just to start off:

Volvo B10TL page -> ZF gearbox for retrofitted buses is 4HP 590, not 4HP 500. The 4HP 500 gearbox is only designed for engines that have a maximum input torque on 1100Nm, while the 590 version is desgined for 1250Nm at max. The D10A-285 produces a maximum torque on 1200Nm, hence the gearbox used should be the 590 version (If not SBS9888Y would have used ZF 5HP 500)

BSEP buses:

Currently the BSEP buses is named by a separate batch (starting from BSEP Batch 1), but the buses are ordered as a whole, not as a separate batch, so by right it should be named Batch 1 (BSEP). As for Wrights it should start from Batch 2B (BSEP) since it is part of the Batch 2B order.

MAN NL323F:

Official sources stated a total order of 400 buses (200 per order), hence those with the new livery should still be part of Batch 2 unless there are more delivered.

I would say that the Sentosa Buses page needs updating...

BusAnalayzer SG

I would say the Past deployment of buses should not include BNDEP 31 --> CGBP 31 kind of changes. It is misleading, as the parent depot is still same and the bus is still on the same service. Only when the bus changes the service or becomes SP, it should be updated.

Sentosa bus deployments (if necessary):

Bus 1: PA4136X, PA5278M, PA5279K

Bus 2: PA4139M, PA4144Y, PA5286P

Bus 3: RU3722G

This is all I know for now. Sorry for being unable to state other bus deployments...

For 169 deployment page:

Duty ? (Bus: TIB815Z) will perform two (2) crossover trips on Intra-Town 911E and subsequently will perform one (1) supplementary trip on SWT 169A during Weekdays AM Peak. It will also perform on 169 on Weekends (Duty 169AP07) .

Add in the green highlighted part...

For Wrights is quite messy.Should just indicate 1,2,3,4

Another suggestion, I have noticed the legend for the new EZ-Link card readers has been removed for all SMRT buses. This is because all traning buses have been fitted with the readers also. However, it is a different case for the private plated Dennis Lances, only PA715B and PA716Z has the readers installed as of now.

Great,probably the rarest of cameo if these 2 PA Lances do basic svc

SBS7123J SG

The years of former deployments of buses have many ridiculous mistakes also.

For example,

SBS9212Y BNDEP 10 (1994 - 2000), BBDEP 7 (2000 - 2006), BBDEP 196 (2006 - 2007), SLBP SP (2007 - 2012), SLBP 193 (2012 - 2013)

This bus was with 196 until 2012 when redeployed to SLBP and replaced by Wright.

SBS9253D BBDEP 99 (1994 - 2002), BBDEP SP (2002 - 2009), BBDEP 198 (2009 - 2011), ARBP 132 (2011 - 2012), BBDEP 165/285 (2012 - 2013)

This bus was redeployed to 198 in 2002 and in 2006 redeployed to 132 when 198 took in B9TL CDGE.

SBS9372T BBDEP 7 (1995 - 2002), BBDEP 198 (2002 - 2012), BBDEP SP (2012), ARBP 111 (2012)

This bus was on 198 since the beginning in 1995 until 2012.

just to name a few.

More info on deployments, like weekday departure times from the terminals for buses either brand new or in last few months before deregistration. I would find that much better for tracking down vehicles and much more useful than the colour of the air-con ducting!!!

What is BIS, where is URL? You promote it a lot but cannot find on google search!

sgwiki must close because BIS say deployment and cameos all useless otaku ocd~

BIS = (buses[IN]gapore!). It's a facebook page.

And just disregard SMB388S posts, just look at his post and account history and you should know why.

Chrismartin13601 SG

Thanks for the advice- I did a bit of searching and it was only him telling everyone to abandon all other sources and use BIS; I don't do Facebook so think I will stick to SGWiki which has served me well as an occasional visitor from the UK.

SMB1388K SG

SMB388S is just a puppet of Singapore Buses Facebook page & their affiliate pages/members, and had other variation of clones such as SMB228X and IDGAF accounts.

SMB238S SG

I don't even know why sgWiki user SBS3107H removes all SMRT Weekends permanent services. Is there any problem with it ._.
