i sense this would be TRG bus from now on?lol another 2888T

SBS Transit and SMRT SG

That makes up of less than 15% aircon fleet, sad. Pity those passengers working in Tuas. The only chance for JIS to upgrade to FAC fleet is only when the VO2x goes off...

Those LO3X became SP, suspect early retirement? There is still no news of SBST refurbishing its LO3X till now.

9056 and 9062 refurbished liao. SBST had done refurbishment till 9199C for most of LO3xs.

Somehow I feel that SBST should have refurbished the LO3x and transfer all of them to SLBP to run on JIS services. The Volvo MK3s and NAC VO2x should go off instead.

Fleet upgrade for Jurong East Feeders easier!!! 240 and 334 should need at least 1 to 2 DD for S Split blocks to supplement the crowds (Even though they already WAB services)

SMB32T SG

Don't really understand why 852 fleet downgrade (From Scanias to UDs), still got demand de. SMRTB should have just put UDs on 981 instead....

Agreed... It will sure face problems with the Nissan UDs along Bt Timah stretch during peak hours. I feel that TIB840A should go back to service 852 perm to replace TIB1255H now that it is refurbished.

Those days when feeders 240 and 334 had NAC LO2x, became a full SD fleet after the LO2x were phased out.

First was 178 getting fleet downgrade in 2006 - if I am not wrong, Now it is 852 getting what 178 did 4 years back.

Seems like 980,178 and 852 isn't liked by SMRT much though.

Situations for service 980 has improved a bit after the mass layup of Nissan UDs in late 2008. There was also once in mid 2006 when 980 under WLDEP also kana those CSS rego Nissan UDs replacing all the Scania Striders, after a period of time things went back to normal.

Service 852 those days under AMDEP/KJDEP was much better, WLDEP taking over full control had cause a massive appearance of Nissan UDs on 852 since then.

Add on for service 853 which SMRT also like to dump Nissan UDs too till today.

But then 853 still has 2 mercz perms do they? so not counted though.

So when did mercz started getting common on 980? 2006 onwards or 2008?

Note that I did not take 853 in is because of the mercz intakes though.

Actually service 980 all these while has 1 solo Merc perm. Initially was TIB503Z way back in 2001, then swopped with TIB970H from service 61 in Jul 2003 which is still perm 980 as of today.

178 mercz perms doesn't live that long though. Thats a pretty long time.

Even though it has a full scania fleet but mercz cameos can get more than 3 though, but not common. By the way how long did TIB 782J permed 980?

178 and 852 are two services SMRT wants to scrap.

If you have seen the PTC website, they have tried a couple of times to reroute, amend and withdraw the route.. but was rejected by the PTC.

So they dump the buses they dun wan on those services lor.... but 178 commuters are complaining daily on STOMP and probably emails behind our backs.... until SMRT no choice but to deploy Scanias...

lemon1974 SG

hmm..so got nissan complain, got Elbo complain, wonder who so free keep go complaining abt Sv178.

TIB 781 L SG

-removed-

TIB 781 L SG

Do they have plans re-routing 178 to Sembawang in the first place?

Anyway, If they really dislike 178 I wouldnt have seen the likes of 777A and co starting in the first place on weekends though, especially on a saturday. 858 doesnt get that kind of chance on a saturdays though.
