That's nothing.At least a few KUBs have their handrails almost ripped off......KUB's will be looking older then CRB's if this goes on.

xFireHeaveNx SG

Ya, took those 3 buses that time too. Seems like all xfer to AMDEP liao..

SBS 8030 L SG

i hope so too, coz i highlighted to SBST for more NORMAL buses to return to sv36 due to overcapacity and more elderly standing from Marine parade all the way to Orchard... for 2 days, 2 non K230UB appeared SBS2595M on 26th, SBS904T on 27th... i will update again HOPEFULLY, non scanias return

wad to do, it seems that SBST wants to "show off" their new buses to tourists. And given that now Changi Airport has some new facilities like the terminal 3, it's no wonder that the Changi Airport services also wants to follow in to have new facilities too.

TIB537B SG

Wonder what will be the opinions of the tourist when they discover that the new buses are uncomfortable buses...

i dun understand why ppl keep saying that SBST want to show off their new buses to tourists? How many tourists were seen taking Sv 24/34/27/53? How many tourists will go down to the basement terminal to look at the buses before going to their hotels? If SBST want to show off, then Sv 138/194 and those services along orchard rd will be getting new buses instead.. Since DD cant be deployed for Changi Airport services , new SDs are being deployed..

SBS 8030 L SG

Sv 36 are packed like sardines during the evening. But I also don't understand why they want to deploy full fleets of KUB. I personally dun really mind about Sv 24, 27, 34 and 53 getting KUB. But since 36 are quite packed, I think that they should at least deploy some MK 4 on sv 36.

Oceane SG

Don't worry lah, fleet addition coming soon. Thanks to changes in their schedules. (=

Maybe crossover from Svc3?

mostly xover use scanias... passenger loading, more able to stand

Acx1688 SG

Eh, from reply from SBST, passenger comfort most important after i wrote in of elderly standing all the way to ORC

Acx1688 SG

Eh for the evening runs, if you are taking sv36, i would suggest you take the next sv36 which is just 5-6mins[due to heavy passenger loading, the back bus will catch up] behind from 1840 onwards... smetimes i c a packed sv36 K230Ub followed by EMPTY K230Ub 4 mins later... i understand that sv36 is BEING Strenghtened...
To add on, i tink there will be a circular route between Marine Parade Rd and Tomlinson Rd being looked into seriously...

Acx1688 SG

29/1/2008,

I took sv36[SBS2821K] duty 2A[ie 2nd bus from CGA], ask BC[not SP driver coz busstop farestage din jump to 24.5 after exit from ECP] how cme no new bus 2dae,[usually it's SBS8342L], he replied that "you can can" means a mixture of old n new buses for sv36, so please look out for non scanias K230UBs on sv36.

Um...is vibrations of the Scanias comfortable? lol

Implementing foldable piority seats at the standing area may be feasible, but then, Singaporeans...hmm

Some BCs cant handle K230UB, jerk 2 much... juz like some cant handle the B9s, if you juz step on accelerator and hold it[for B9], it will auto change gear smoothly and then release the accelerator, let the bus glide along until speed drops, sv14 pro BCs n certain sv196 BCs do this along Nicoll Highway, damn shiok ride!

sv966 SG

Precisely because it is packed hence the standing space (hence carrying more passengers in total) is very much necessary.

Acx1688 SG

But not at the expense of the elderly, the pregnant and mothers/fathers with kids, the main point for a high load svc like sv36, there SHOULD be a mixture of SCanias n other buses
