SBS Transit orders 1100 buses from Scania (Part 5)

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

SMB32T SG

Hope they go other depots (except AM/BR)

HGDEP

SBS3688Y SG

I think SBS5226J was the former SBS Mercedes Benz OF1413 Soon Chow bus. And this rego is recycled and the last alphebet is exactly the same as the new Scania rego.

Really? 1100 Scanias not enough to replace the SD fleet? If that's the case... Hope to see a MB bus.... Like Citaro perhaps? >.<

Dun even dream of sbst buying a Citaro....As 7382C said,they even rejected the OC,u tink they wan to buy the Citaro????

Nvm dun care abt sbst....At least there is hope of SMRT buying the Citaros....Lets jus look forward to tat instead and of cuz the Wright B9s!!!!

Merczrox SG

I'm waiting for a change in management... that includes the parent company also

Agreed!!!!

Just to add on , K310UB is a 3-axle SD bus... Like the B10M superlong owned by SBST , SBS997A.

Since u say K310UB is similar to SBS997A, can I conclude that:

Scania K2xxUB= 2-axle SD

Scania K3xxUB= 3-axle SD

Scania K3xxUD= 3-axle DD

from good solid bus become pile of rot.

no problem. you find bus for them to replace the outgoing O405s. do you even know that AMDEP, BRBP & SLBP are of higher priority to receive these new KUBs to replace their outgoing buses?

simple mah.. put these new KUB to BN/BB/HG, transfer MK IV over to AM/BR/SL.. this is also workable. why not? Why must insist all new KUB go to AM/BR/SL? Now almost all the perm fleet of AM/BR/SL are KUB already. Quite a lot of the merc are SP buses now..
anyway, it is also not enough KUB right now to replace all the balance merc.. there is around 30+ KUB left (including the last two batches which have been registered), but there is around 90 merc left over... so most of the 5** series should be able to survive until the wright B9TL come out? unless SBST decide to reduce the number of spare buses in each depot to maybe around 30 each, then more merc will go sooner...

To add on, some k230 bought are for fleet addition to certain services.

In SBS5210D 238, the back part of the bus has a whistling sound when it comes to a stop

sinicker SG

Voith gearbox hahax

Operation//Overkill SG

Of course. I pity the Citaro if it were in SBST hands........ MAX SPEED : 60km/h [Citaro can run faster.......] Only hope is on SMRT :)

Can. Why not?

161 also .I want Woodlands to stay KUB perm free.

Despite AMDEP/BNDEP having KUBs, 168 does not get any KUBs cameo before Lets hope the same thing for 161 :)

I think the reason SBST rejected the OC was because the EDS too damn small.

TIB1083L SG

I think the reason SBST rejected the OC was because the EDS too damn small.

With your reasoning, should SMRT have rejected the OC500LE (SMB1H) because of the side and front EDS being too small?

But it may not be Wright free.
