SBS2695H SG

SBS2695H's worst nightmare!!!

Lets watch and see. I just hope service 32 and service 36 will not get any K230. 9 also better not get. I would'nt mind 35 getting K230, since its a short journey to TMFT. I also would'nt mind 18, 69, and 38 get K230, since you only stand for a short journey.

SBS2695H SG

All 154, 157, 243 and 502 BCs from SLBP have undergone Scania K230UB training.

I thought Svc 242 too.

Good for 242 and 243 get K230. I seriously don't mind squeezing and standing for a short journey. But please let us have a seat on long journeys. However, I cannot understand why 502 is getting K230, because 502 is an Express service, and you pay the express fare to stand. Unless you are telling me that 502 is going to be a WAB service.

Never mind, these services can remain to have Volvo MK4. Those Scania K230UBs can remain in HGDEP and serve services 156, 163

Oceane SG

You everyday hope here hope there.

I seriously have no hope in you.

Let me just say, the ones in BNDEP getting K230 (If their WAB training is successful) are the longhaul services.

Want to believe?

SBS2695H's worst nightmare!!!

userid SBS2695H = anti scania k230UB

Oceane SG

Compared to HGDEP, services 156 and 163 Scania's fleets are still like 1 in the entire fleet since the 1st day Scanias were introduced on these services.

No lah 156 sees alot more liao. xD

Even BBDEP also deployed around 2-3, though they control minority of the 156's fleet.

vivienlee SG

When will it be service 70's turn?? Though service 70 have majority DDs but 8 of the fleets are still made up of those old Mercs too.

But for HGDEP, is there a possibility that they will transfer some MK4s over to BNDEP to replace those outgoing Scania N113 CRBs, if BNDEP still not taking in Scania K230UBs? And also that HGDEP have 22 Scania K230UBs currently SP and not assigned to any services as perm yet

For 163's case I notice tat HGDEP will put in more Scania KUBs on certain days and timings only. There can be as many as 3-5 KUBs on 163 last mon, however only 1 KUB on 163 2day (which is its permer SBS8113G), but rather more MK3s...

Oceane SG

The best is still 52. From the day SLBP put K230, it has always stayed at 1. Of course sometimes 0, but the number is never more than 1. =D

Airbus330Captain SG

We can do without the anti k230 comments from that person. If you dont like the bus , fine just leave with it. I can tell you. The more you whine , the more you will see the bus on the svc. Dont bet against svc 9 not getting the k230 bus.

SBS9888Y SG

I thought Svc 242 too.

no not yet

Superbus SG

Sooner or later, ALL services will be WAB.

Cut your crap and wake up from your fantasies. Like it or not, the K230s will COME to a service NEAR you.

chickenlittle2 SG

no not yet

haha, but heard that they are putting in. Some BC from svc 242 had been seen doing training for K230UB before launch.

kenn3th SG

what about sv30?

it goes past west point family hospital.

sbs&tibs SG

Don't be so naive. SBST have the right to choose the services they want to deploy the KUBs on. You don't like doesn't mean others also don't like. There might be more cons than pros of KUBs in your opinion, but it is still a bus which needs to ferry passengers. Stop whining.

S5 S9 are very suitable candidate. Currently there's no WABs passing by Changi General Hospital. S15 and S33 too. I don't want to further speculate.

If bndep is fated to get, just stop making so much noise over this model. Enough is enough. Grow up.

sbs&tibs SG

haha, but heard that they are putting in. Some BC from svc 242 had been seen doing training for K230UB before launch.

Yeah true. There are BCs from other services or standby BCs don't want to stop learning. New bus mah. 活到老，学到老。

SBS2695H SG

what about sv30?

it goes past west point family hospital.

Possible to become WAB too. But since its a majority DD service, it will most probably use B9TLs if it becomes WAB.

chickenlittle2 SG

Actually SBST should really target on their feeder services. Compare bus with MRT, everytime when a MRT comes and you would see super long queue at the berth. It is like comfirm earn service.

SBS9888Y SG

haha, but heard that they are putting in. Some BC from svc 242 had been seen doing training for K230UB before launch.

only a very small few leh. not so soon. anyway 242 has a lot of DD lower chance of getting.
