out of the balance 20 SP EEV in AMDEP, i think they will go to Sv70 and Sv 261/262/269.. high time Sv70 kenna EEVs... I agree

I think 171 goes to another route, btw they are just going to the cemetry not the ither estate. Maybe they can consider modify 171

it passes by the cemetry rite?

Yesterday Shin Min reported a very stubborn group of Chinese that held up a Sv138 bus for 6 hours because they refused to alight from the Merc after being told that it cannot carry the 90 year old woman in wheelchair.

Not saying SBST is wrong (Of course I totally condone the actions of that group of Chinese for which I'm so disgusted at their pathetic actions) but maybe they can consider deploying KUBs on 138...

Do you see the contradiction in your statement? How can you condone their actions, but feel disgusted at the same?

then piss off the prc ppl more.

clearly WAB bus, still cannot take

somehow that seems like a very good idea xD

yeah.. put KUBs is one issue. declaring as WAB bus services is ANOTHER issue (see sv100/238/63/60/265)... then even more arguments... and if Sv138 was a wab bus service... i think the BC will insist that the old lady sit on the wheelchair and let him wheel up the bus....still cant bring up the wheelchair folded :)

8730A is back on BR 238.... I think can throw LO3x, VO3x, merc, volvo mkIII, insce the demand of WAB is getting huge. just because of the 138 incident

it was repaired last week finally after parking at laid up corner for 3 weeks.. they replace/respray the damage area last friday and cover it with plastic and park the bus at laid up corner on friday...before sending it back to BRBP...

As for both SBST & SMRT buses with Gemilang body they better repair or touch up body with dent or crack or the condition will become more worse in time.The quality of the bus body arent same like the more solid Hispano,Elbo or Volgren.

lemon1974 SG

for SBST, usually they will repair the KUBs which have accidents even if it is minor (they park 8730A for 3 weeks before repairing it)... very seldom see KUB with dents on the bus body (except for some minor damages at front bumper).. But for SMRT, cant say so. a lot of OCs think have accident and they dun even bother to repair it..

carbikebus SG

Probably SL dun wanna create more problems among themselves.Imagine they have to make a report especially new buses.

By the time all the new buses used up for service i think the mrt circle line start to work. So some bus service will be removed or marge with another service. Don't forget sbs and smrt has no control over the service number and route from this year. It LTA has the say over the route deployment

Anyone has any idea abt when the new Scanias will arrive?

I wanna see some new redeployments....

Patience bro.. :)

cos CDGE is still assembling the bodyworks and Gemilang is still supplying them, so there should be spare parts readily available.

dun forget for the next few years many more buses will be phased out...

Yeah... SBST's Merc 0405s are now in the midst of phasing out, following on are Volvo MK3s as well as Darts. And still uncertain whether the VO2x or the LO3x goes off 1st.

Wonder will the next 200 Scania K230UBs look similar to the 400 Euro 5s or not, and also the regos that will be used on after 8999. Plus new Euro 5 Volvo B9TLs with new EDS displays ...

SMB32T SG

Mainly due to the fact that SMRT buy new buses as a completely whole unit. Unlike SBST CDGE which buys the chassis and parts then build and assemble the whole unit.

SMB32T SG

Hmm... that's where SBST will find opportunities to clear up all their old buses in bulk. Just like the LO2x NAC DDs that were completely phased out in end 2003 after the NEL rationalisations took place.

Hopefully the KUBs wouldn't come so soon.
