Is SBS877M still spotted on 195?

Saw a JB MK3 on 195 today.Not sure if its 871D on 877M.

Merczrox SG

Think 877M is a better bet for the ZF power, if AR didn't lay up the bus yet that is. The sound from the gearbox is quite evident even from the outside 2 weeks back on 195.

Yeah u r right.876R's ZF howl is still abit ok but it dosent sound very clear like 877M..877M sounds just like a MK4.It really rocks man..

AMDEP really hv the loudest of EVERYTHING. KUB loudest, Citaro loudest, then now the DM oso loudest. WTF.

But if some those DMs didnt move from BN to AM initially, they wouldnt have gotten new refurbished yellow seats. These seats brings out some liveliest to the interior.

The second 'on' in your post should be an 'or'.

858T hasn't left 359 at all to cameo once IIRC in the past month. It's still on 359 yesterday (25May), body needs a paint job badly too but I guess BNDEP is lazy to waste money to paint a deregistering bus.

879H is back on 358 as well on 25 May after a week of doing cameos on Sv 168, 518, 45, 38 & 9.

I'm happy to see these 2 Mk3s still running in Pasir Ris. After they are gone, the only buses that accompanied me when I started this hobby back in '05 till now will be those 'newer' buses like 886L 1972P 2622T 2729U 9354X 9437R 9450B and the 3 Sv 81 VO3xs. All the other services that pass by my bus stop all have different perms from then compared to now. Different kind of feelings by then after the Mk3s go.
