TIB 972Canother stalker like 962G,but at least gear not as trashy,and when raining windows are misted over,unlike 962 which is an air-blower only.

Sentosa Volvo B7RLE. Although it does not breakdown more than the SBST one, its vibration is horrible.

u take and regret woh

Cost efficiency? depends on where they spent on.. They spent on revamp some of the bus A/C. Some depot just make their bus nice nice but in terms of A/C and the rate of breakdown is...

I don't think a depot which maintains buses until the drivers are happy to drive wastes money, but I think a depot which saves money but in turn makes drivers unhappy about driving buses which are obviously inferior in terms of maintenance standards really deserves a proper review of its maintenance policy, and somemore that depot has worse A/C (just that you have some sort of dillusion which doesn't conform to the norm), ok la, they have improved their A/C now, but its like...finally?

And I also know that many of the drivers belonging to the depot mentioned in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph are quite happy about modifications done to buses which they used to not like.

Too bad lor, ask them shift to somewhere else with better connections and buses and less pollution (visual, air and noise) and higher house prices or ask them go walk around Leng Kee or Ubi see showroom.

thankfully they still got BRBP buses in the form of 154 and 157 and AMDEP buses in the form of 52. Also got BBDEPs like 198 and 99, BNDEPs in 30, 197, 66 and HGDEP for 105 and 51 so that they wont have to endure the junk on wheels.

srsly i rather take BNDEP 197 mark iiis rather than certain SLBP buses.

Ok, i might have figured out why i don't recommend Scania K230UBs in general.

They lack soul, passion, energy and are very generic. >.< maybe because of the bodywork, interior and the gearbox hmm.

K230UB fans...dont shoot me, it's what i feel after taking the K230UBs since its introduction on the roads.

Although most kubs are fine, this suck:

SBS8552Y (HG 100)

SBS 8030 L SG

at least it is sexy that the kub lor

I finally realised that the Volvo B7RLE & KUB is a girl. They went for modelling?? Catwalk Fashion show??

SBS8033D SG

K230UBs. Suspension is horrible already, then the BC never raise the bus even worse, you your ownself can even bump up while the bus goes to a hump, normal hump can already do that.

hmmm
find me an ARBP service that goes to JE or BNL thx

end of the day, the performance of the bus no good, pax complain, tell me how lor.

chickenlittle2 SG

Complaints.. I received lots of complain frm my friends taking 238. Ask me why they cant have the same freq as Svc 242.

I think both of u should continue ur lifetime dreaming. Now, I really wonder who are living in their own hole. Just gotta same, all depots are the same. They are unable to maintain all their models of buses in good condition.

Scania SG

Eh, majority of this forum knows what is going on with the buses and the majority includes me, jayh272416 and many others but excludes you and maybe some other slbp supporter.

Scania SG

Complaints.. I received lots of complain frm my friends taking 238. Ask me why they cant have the same freq as Svc 242.

Because Toa Payoh is a small town which has more feeder services than Jurong West and 242 is a service serving a town which is bigger but has less services, and thus having more people relying on a few services, which warrants more high-capacity buses to be used. Also, you need to know that the frequency of 238 is heavily dependent on passengers, passengers don't cooperate at int, snowball the frequency, you can have bsues coming every one minute (ie right behind each other), but end up 5 mins apart, which is what is happening.

now guys,just before anything happens,as the thread starter,let me make my point across.

I Do Not wish to see a flame war starting,because as the owner of this thread,i feel responsible.So spare me the guilt.And please note that even if you support AMDEP,SLBP,WLDEP or whatever,please keep the support to yourself,and look at things on another angle.I myself am a WLDEP supporter,but this does not mean that I hate any other depots/bus parks.

I once again would like to appeal:keep any bad comments to yourself.

and here's one i really do not recommend for the engine sound fans:TIB 634D,the engine sounds are weird in some way,sounds like WLDEP needs to inspect the gearbox.

I hope you guys really. Lucky for AMDEP to get SBS 435E and SBS 491S. SBS 467M is still ok..

Oh i forgot that NTU students complain a lot about 179 and 179A, and the reason is simialr to 238 also.
