But my point is that ADDs never got to serve on BPJ route group. It could be likely that SBS already had plans to transfer Bt Panjang services to Tibs at th...

if the 9055 to 9090 batches lifespan are all extended, then most likely some VO2x will go off first this year.....

Great that all these buses can be extended. Think SBST should fully utilise them for the increasing commuter crowds.

if the 9055 to 9090 batches lifespan are all extended, then most likely some VO2x will go off first this year.....

I think SBST wants to get rid of all the non air con buses by these 2 to 3 years.

slbp took vo3x from other depots in the place of these buses.

Vo2x is reaching 17 years by this June also.... so high chance they will go first... so that SBST can go full fleet Airconditioned...

That's only the first batch. I think subsequently they will be deregistered batch by batch till next year, given if no extentions.

However looking at the situation now, I think that it is unwise to scrap all of them by this year which would cause SBST having not enough buses, unless they are buying more buses this year to replace the 100 VO2xes at least.

VO2X...

I still can recall them new-new on services like 10 and 31.

On one particularly exciting day, took VO2X on 31, and then took LO3X back.

That was the first time I took a Superbus and was really impressed by its comfortness.

Think that was 1994.

SBS9039G (SLBP 179) is still in service as of 08 March 2011 (Tuesday).

VO2X...

They were also new on services like 14, 65, 190 etc. Missed the days where these NAC double deckers did downroutes for 190 along Scotts Rd.

Superbus first came in 1993, with the Leyland Olympian version.

And I enjoyed travelling on VO2x on sv 74 and loved the breeze and the powerful accelaration of the bus. and till now, I still regard the Leyland olympians the most comfortable ADDs followed by the VO. The leylands are really quiet on the upper deck including the AC. Athough they are 17-18yrs old, they still do not vibrate much. This is contrast to the relatively new B9TL euro 3 buses. I think is due to the good engine + bodywork.

I still remembered SBS back-then will erect banners at the bus interchanges to "Welcome the arrival of SBS Superbus on service ..."

SBS 1000U SG

Actually the VO3x batch 1 are also very quiet, when they are new till now.

Hahaha...

Those were the good old days.

I remember those VO2Xes replacing the crappy LAs on 10, 30, 14, 65 & 196 back in 1994/95. They even served on short-haul route 18 while the west side had to make do with the 1985 R-type NAC DDs. So jealous of BDK residents and those served by BNDEP.

So, today

SBS 9039G, SBS 9040B, SBS 9042X, SBS 9048E should had been gone by today..
