service_238 SG

That's too recent.

bus555 SG

Dun think that DD can enter Yishun Int due to the height limit on the entrance.

SBS7382C SG

to me like can sia...

I think because of the hump thats DDs cannot enter.

SBS7382C SG

I remember seeing reports of NAC Scania cameo on Service 10 in the 2003 archives of this forum when it just started. Anyone knows when it was officially FAC and anyone has a brief history of sv10's fleet? Heard last time there were leyland fleets?

In the early 90s, the aircon fleet in service 10 was Mercedes-Benz O405 with the blue furry seats. I remembered taking a Merc O405 DM back in 1992 from Tampines full route to Clementi.

In the later part of 90s and early 00s, the VO2x came in.

ZYX's fav old svc list---

122
Serving St Mikes to Bt Batok
Provides fast back roads connection from home to Bugis via alexandra rd and river valley rd missing the intense jams in Chhiantown..wished it were back . No the replacement 186 and 32 services do not cut it. 51 is close but i wished it zip down the hill part of River valley Rd.

back then when 122 uses Scania N113CRB NAC BCs tend to go neutral and free gear down the river valley rd hill. This caused the Scania engine to hum queitly as the bus glide down.

Also, service 122 plied Victoria St towards St. Michael's but in the return direction towards Bukit Batok (later shortened to Buona Vista), it plied Jln Besar and Bencoolen St.

Service 149

Changi Airport to Toa Payoh

Service 31 was extended and 36 was introduced an as a result, 149 was withdrawn. I was delighted when I saw mercedes O405 new x2 on the service but when 149 became partially aircon, I was dismayed and extremely disappointed that the NAC n113crbs replaced the mercedes NAC. I remembered 149 had the rego range from 232 all the way to 238 if I am not wrong.

Service 36 was not introduced as a result of this. Service 36 was actually re-numbered from service 16E, which was a peak-hour service introduced in Jan 1994, plying express between Stamford Rd/Bras Basah Rd and Changi Airport. In Dec 1997, service 16E was re-numbered service 36. The route was amended in Sep 1998 to become the present route (except for the slight amendment to skip Siglap Link).

TIB1234T SG

I remember taking TIB137Y on 900 and TIB382E on 182 long long time ago . Not to forget, TIB424T on 951.

Rk 2010 SG

Good old memories....

When Serangoon was under AMDEP, it was a full Merc land. Miss those merc and suddenly get so unfamiliar with the buses soon after depot xfer to HGDEP.

Sv315
Never forgotten memories...NAC Merc O405
SBS3902D in particular
It's the bus which chiong so fast that my guides held in my hands nearly flew away. It's the bus which vibrates when BC step on the brake.

Then Mark II, 1734 1766. I'll be happy if I get mark II and sit at the seat behind the rear door then start to play on it..
Then NAC CRB, SBS3578G
WA and DM OAC Mercs: 157H, 204E, 403Y, 404U, 513M etc

Sv70
LO2x and LA then VO2x. After the fleet become all merc/LO fleet, there comes 3681 out of nowhere which shocks me when I first c it.

Sv107
Ahhhh, this sv become the usual service my family take to go home from suntec, shorter route, instead of sv133.
LO2x, Scania N113CRB (NAC), Merc O405 (0547R)
Still remember at ard 2002/03, when most buses r in SBST livery parking at S'goon Int, the outstanding ones, LO2x...

Sv55
Full merc fleet sv, majority ranging 391 - 396 (?). I rmb that sv55 has a number of 39x series merc in the past. 211J alr perm sv55 for a long time.

Sv73
Scania N113CRB. 3604P

Sv74, 165
Merc O305, 7093 7111 etc.
Merc O405 (165), 0553 0578 0581 etc
VO2x, 7227 7269 7273. I'll never forget 7227T, that was just after introduction of ezlink system and the BC login as sv328 when it was 165.

Sv132
LO3x, 9165 9176
VO2x, 7294(?)

Sv156 (S'goon)
Merc O405 (3888L)

Sv501 502 511 512
Sometimes, I c VO3x I run but aft i reach the bus stop, it was 511/512, not trunk svcs which i wanna take. Now all gone.

Sv103 (Both TIBS and SBS)
TIBS: When my family is heading for Bugis, I would always want to ride on 103 instead of 147, because I like TIBS buses in the past. Merc O405 (AC/NAC)

SBS: This time, I become neutral about sv103 but would still hope to ride on it because of Merc O405s. (243S etc). I rmb there was a period of time whereby there's like 3 or 4 sv103 buses get into accident and on the news on different days.

Some funny sv introduced from HG South Int till dunno where via S'goon North using SBST Merc. Sv788 or something like that, if I rmb correctly. Sort of a premium sv with soem 30mins? freq, sadly, i never try this sv.

sbst272 SG

Me too, & last time i rememebered taking VO2X on service 65, 132, 136 & 186 before...
