Had provided the regoes for you.
For those pre-SBS buses, they were made to stay for a few years or even less than a year before they retire as the company itself (after its merger to SBS) needs to upgrade their old buses into modern ones, due to critical issues that are not addressed during its pre-SBS era. This includes poor maintenance & lack of safety features even after the 1971 Re-organisation.

SBS8533C SG

I would like to answer the questions in tender?

2. What are the buses that are used in special services – 400, 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406 and 450? is it OF1413, B57, Olympian 2-axles, OF1417, Albion Viking or what?

3. For service 450, it is known that it operated using Dennis Trident 2/Alexander ALX400 but it was replaced by existing Trident/Enviro400 in 2012 displaced from JRW?

2)
400 - MB OF1417s, B57s (primary), CRBs, Leyland Victory, MB O405s, KUB
401 - Albion Viking, Volvo B57s, MB OF1413s, CRBs, MB O405s Mk2, Mk3, Mk4, KUB

402 had variants
402 - Bedok to SAFRA Country Club uses MB O405 (DM)
402 - Bedok to S'pore Expo uses Mk3s.
402 - Marina South Pier to Shenton Way uses MB O405.

403 - Uses Nissan Civilian buses before switching over to B57s, CRBs, Mk2, Mk3, Mk4, KUB
404 - Uses Albion Viking, MB OF1413, LP1113

405 had variants
405 - Jurong Int to Jurong Bird Park uses the MB OF1413, LP1113, OF1113.
405 - Boon Lay to Choa Chu Kang Rd uses the MB O405s all along before Mk4s/KUBs. Air Con Service.

406 - Uses Albion Viking, MB OF1413, LP1113
450 - Uses Albion Viking, MB OF1413, LP1113

It is noticed that Service 450 was handed over to Scheme B operators and PH/PZ buses began to appear on Service 450. This service is still around although AM shuttle buses are available from Boon Lay MRT station.

Service 450 terminates outside the New Pasir Laba Camp Entrance.

When and how many times had 961 swopped depot control between KJ, AM & WL (including the time when it was 181)?

Here is the sequence:

1) KJDEP 181
2) KJDEP/WLDEP 181
3) KJDEP/WLDEP 961
4) WLDEP 961
5) WLDEP/AMDEP 961

It is noticed that 181 was all along KJDEP since the days when TIBS took over 181 from SBS.

In the past, they only called it as Metsec and not Duple Metsec, if you are referring to the 1977-80 era of the Leyland Atlanteans.

Here is the sequence:

1) KJDEP 181
2) KJDEP/WLDEP 181

4) WLDEP 961
5) WLDEP/AMDEP 961

It is noticed that 181 was all along KJDEP since the days when TIBS took over 181 from SBS.

I also want to know about the period of each depot control.

SBS5151R SG

I also want to know about the period of each depot control.

Sep 1983-Oct 1998: 181 under full KJDEP control

Oct 1998-Dec 1998: 181 under partial KJDEP/WLDEP control

Dec 1998-Dec 1999: 961 under partial KJDEP/WLDEP control (181 renumbered to 961)

Dec 1999-Dec 2007: 961 under full WLDEP control

Dec 2007-Current: 961 under partial WLDEP/AMDEP control

I wanted to clarify:

1) When did service 385 converted from NAC status to PAC status?

2) What are the other buses, are not reflected there that are registered before CSS177P?

3) 402 i forgot to mention Stamford Road to Race Course Road, which buses did they use?

4) Which buses did they use for 3 and 168 before converting it to fully air-con?

5) I want to clarify the conversion list from STC to SBS. Which are the regos for 1xxx, 2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx and 6xxx, if it is pre-SBS era?

C151 039/040 SG

Ford R226 did on 172 and 175 before it converted to Volvo B57 and Mercedes-Benz O405. Did 172 and/or 175 uses Leyland Olympian 2-Axles too?

Some questions on deployments:

1) Does 190 used to have a full SD fleet in the late 1980s?

2) When were services 382 & 385 converted from NAC to PAC status?

3) What is the fleet of service 72 when it was under dual AMDEP/HGDEP control?

4) When did 964 started to have bendies? What fleet of buses does it use before bendies?

iveco SG

Some questions on deployments:

1) Does 190 used to have a full SD fleet in the late 1980s?

190 fleet was almost 100% B57s and then Mk IIs. The LAs only appeared from 1992 IIRC.

Gus.chong SG

190 fleet was almost 100% B57s and then Mk IIs. The LAs only appeared from 1992 IIRC.

I remember Leyland Olympian 3-axles, Volvo Olympian 2-axles & Volvo Olympian 3-axles perming 190 at some point of time. Later O405s and MK3s joined in. When is it?

By the way can you answer the rest of the questions if you know anything?

Ford R226 did on 172 and 175 before it converted to Volvo B57 and Mercedes-Benz O405. Did 172 and/or 175 uses Leyland Olympian 2-Axles too?

172 & 175 have no DDs at all. This is because their roads in the rural areas of Choa Chu Kang & Jurong are very narrow & cannot accommodate double decker buses. Also, some trees along these areas does not have any height clearence for double deckers too.

For 172, even though they widened Choa Chu Kang Rd a little, it still cannot deploy DDs due to the TAB nearby.

5) I want to clarify the conversion list from STC to SBS. Which are the regos for 1xxx, 2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx and 6xxx, if it is pre-SBS era?

1) 385 was converted to PAC in 1999, when a few of their Mk2 perms were converted to CAC.

2) Bedford SB & MB O309 minibuses. CSS1L to CSS177P were 1st Gen CSS buses and the regos are assigned differently under 2 CSS bus companies, NTUC Comfort & SSB.

3) Albion Viking

4) Service 3 uses CRBs, UDs, Renault (SBS30P), Re-bodied CAC Leyland Victory buses.

Service 168 uses the MB O303s from former SABS. 8 buses were deployed (SBS1Z to SBS8E)

5) 6XXX are mostly from STC areas. For the rest of the regos, they are rego under the SH series.

SBS8533C SG

I remember Leyland Olympian 3-axles, Volvo Olympian 2-axles & Volvo Olympian 3-axles perming 190 at some point of time. Later O405s and MK3s joined in. When is it?

By the way can you answer the rest of the questions if you know anything?

For 190:

Volvo Olympian 2-Axles came in 1994.
LO3x came in 1996 while VO3x came in 1997.
O405s came in 1992-93, while Mk3s came in 1994.

SBS8533C SG

Some questions on deployments:

Qn 1 has been answered.

2) 382 is the same as 385 so I dont have to repeat again.

3) Service 72 was under AMDEP, even during the Serangoon-Tg Rhu era.

If you are referring to Serangoon-Tg Rhu era, it uses the MB O405 & MB OF1413/1417s (The MB O405s came in later to replace the MB OF1413/OF1417)

If you are referring to the peak hour service from YCK-AMK Ave 5, it uses the MB O405 & Mk3s. (FAC)

If you are referring to the current routing (YCK - Tampines), then its the MB O405 & Mk3s. [Mk4s DO appear on 72 even during the SBS era]

4) Service 964 gets bendies in 2002. Previously it uses only 1 MB O405.
