last SG · 2009-10-24T01:02:27+00:00

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

Hopefully the KUBs wouldn't come so soon.

How are you going to stop this?

You are going to see the new K230s before you see the B9TLs.

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.

Yeah I miss those NAC LO2X on svc70, those are some fst buses that really speed, and damn windy sitting on upper deck. Even the VO2X were kicked out after a year replacing LO2X.

Cheers.

Agree. Additional 200 on the road will make no much difference as of the 900. But hoping to see other brands on SBST in near future, enough of the KUBs.

Cheers.

the problem with KUBs is the seats, or rather the lack of seats.... too few

VO2x from BNDEP, HGDEP and AMDEP were all mass transferred to SLBP in 2003 to replace all the LO2x on those JIS services before the LO2x were phased out.

They will have to come out sooner or later and I am looking forward to seeing great deployments taking place. Hopefully SBST will place in another order for 300 more new buses this year to replace the Volvo MK3s which will also be going off soon.

service_238 SG

Say NO! to K230. lol

sgbuses SG

Would be nice if the last 200 KUBs get a different EDS, e.g. Mobitec.

SMB135E SG

Say NO! to K230. lol

How about 300 new B7RLEs replace 300 MK3s

best is to follow HK style to have more DDs. SBST should have considered buying some DD 2-axle buses. Worst is SMRT, zero DDs.

carbikebus SG

Thats because SMRT prefer bendys over DDs thats why SMRT zero DDs unless LTA completely banned all bendys then thats another story.Cant imagine if SMRT buy DDs also sure have peoples here complain why there are no bendys bla bla bla.Furthermore SMRT is just a small second public bus operator behind SBST,There's no way to compared them.

SMRT has their own verion instead which r the bendies.SBST use DD,SMRT use Bendies.Each company has their own preferances.If SMRT's whole fleet were SDs,then tats another story.

Merczrox SG

Yest nite from my house,i saw a svc 19 eev which the front EDS the font was exactly lik the Batch 3's lecip EDS.The size was also very small jus exactly lik the lecip EDS.Side EDS also the words were quite small.

chickenlittle2 SG

Hope they can stop the replacing of EDS until they can make the font bigger.

Merczrox SG

Yea.The current eev EDS font is alr good enough..
