lemon1974 SG

i dun think that the bus is burn out completely? maybe small part damage? or else the newspaper/stomp sure report one... bus not spotted in AMDEP leh...

AEW5001 SG

ZF transmission problem?

maybe. which resulted to engine overheating and burnt components.

maybe. which resulted to engine overheating and burnt components.

Engine overheat seldom catch fire, at most radiator burst with steam pressure. Then engine will lose power and eventually seize up even(engine totalled). Altho there are cases of engine overheat and catch fire but those happened in extreme conditions like in desert areas like australia outbacks etc.

u need sometime tat is combustable to start the fire n never the case in just engine overheating.

radiator will not burst with steam and most probably a burst radiator hose as most radiator caps will release pressure at 15 psi

BC kept driving even though the bus was already on fire?
O_O

Yeah exactly.The fire actually started out small at 1st.But we saw the bus still continuously moving with the fire at such a fast speed without stopping at all after that.Then when the BC suddenly braked the bus and tried to bring it to a stop at the busstop,we saw the small fire sparking off and very quickly spreading up to the engine and aircon compartment.And b4 we all knew it,the whole aircon and engine compartment at the rear was engulfed in the fire and burning like nobody's business.

At least better than not doing anything about it.

Old bus doesn't mean it is useless and must be scrapped.

Hope that the bus will be repaired soon.

i know, but its not like SBST will begin to have fleet shortages with one gone, there are some spare Wrights in AMDEP, they can quite easily make one perm on 166 ma. But now that they wanna repair it, by all means go ahead. I dun dislike VOs.

SBS 1000U SG

SBST now needs more double deckers.

Wrights can be better depolyed on other services too...
