I just simply hope sbst dun deploy kub on sv103, sekali after one month the chassis rotten, just like the Metrobus on KMB sv51 at Route Twisk.

how does the route of 103 affect the chassis ?

more buses = more $

by 5pm + all of them will start to go, when they are full and made possible when SJE buses have not returned.

Even the Scanias cannot clear Merdeka Bridge!

Well they barely could if BC lower the raiser all the way, but they won't risk someone forgetting to do so.

Citaros might be a different story, since they're at 3m.

I remember SBS1688K was on 16 before, and if I'm not wrong, SBS1688K is higher than KUB right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers.

SJE only have 16 buses ma.

Thing is e 10 idling buses also seen during off peak hrs.

But seriously they could do tis because Handal Indah's domestic bus service is unlike Singapore, high usage rate. Got new fleet, nowhere to play around.. haha

more efficiently, LTA should impose parking quota for CBS as well.

You dun wish one fine day, 170 end ups queueing for parking thks to CW2 as well. Scheduling end of e day is very important.

This is a more accurate comparison.

Pre-SBST/SMRT times

SBS Nissan U31SCN park with TIBS Nissan U31SCN

Both Pre-SBST/SMRT times and after 2004

SBST Mercs park with SMRT Mercs

In 2011

SBST Citaros park with SMRT Citaros

U31SCN -> O405 -> 0530

Tibs had SCN

103 160 170 are the services with the dustiest buses.... and 72 to a lesser extent..
so they get all older buses.. cheaper to maintain in a sense

Tibs had SCN

But i tot during the SBS UD era, only CSS is available? :o

e SBS UD to be strictly speaking, other than e trial unit, all were purchased in 1987. Tat was SBS's pioneer batch of aircon fleet (Dunno but heard bef was because Europeans were unable to offer SBS aircon prototypes andd SBS wanted to try aircon svs in lieu of e MRT commencement).

in 1987, Tibs alrdy had SCN. Or rather Tibs existed alrdy.

As for how come SBS did not purchase Japanese model later on but opted for CRB & O405 was for some other issues.

fireice rox SG

wrong post

Acx1688 SG

16? hopefully can get thru the height restricition at the merdeka bridge...

Stadium link would be closed from Sep30 for demolition of Nat stadium...
so sv16 will be diverted to use Nicoll highway...
then the KUBs will appear...
