I feel the OC500LEs are not suitable for sv 925, at least until SMRT asks their SLs to raise bus before attempting any hump. I was on SMB17M yesterday and the undercarriage came into contact with the humps at Kranji Dam about 3 times, each time abt one to two seconds. I can hear the chassis screeching from the contact. Most passengers were shocked also.

Me too.

I still feel that KJDEP seems to put their new buses even on those "ulu" routes like services 172 and 925. Whereas some SMRT services under AMDEP that deserves to get such new buses did not get them as yet. Especially for service 980 which do have a PM peak crowd and yet AMDEP make service 980 as a Nissan dumping ground instead of introducing the Merc OC500LEs. For services like 854 and 969 I also do hope that AMDEP will give them perm OC500LEs soon. Maybe services 167 and 169 should get them too.

Oceane SG

Me too.

Can you stop nagging about AMDEP services or not, please? Now the trend for AMDEP is to put on INTERNAL routes. 811 is supposed to get 8 units of the OC if you don't know, and now there are just 4 perms. Plus they are experimenting with OC on all routes which they think its feasible for the OC hence please just be patient. Most of AMDEP buses often land up in Yishun, so expect OC to be in Yishun.

I think now you understand how i feel when he says about K230s on 159 163 70 86 156 119 etc.

n4l SG

851 too...not just internal routes for AM. Also specific trunk routes will be having OCs...

Oceane SG

851 too...not just internal routes for AM. Also specific trunk routes will be having OCs...

If you're talking about currently then it would be 811 loh... the service with the most number of OC perms. Otherwise services they are experimenting on with the OC currently are 171 854 969. 851 may get more than 1 perm in the near future. (=

Merczrox SG

Me too.

no.the most ulu svc havent get OC500LE yet.that is svc 975.i cant imagine svc 975 getting OC500LE.

Merczrox SG

I pity SMB17M.

SMRT BUSES LuvER SG

no.the most ulu svc havent get OC500LE yet.that is svc 975.i cant imagine svc 975 getting OC500LE.

if the UDs were all scrapped, do u guys think that the CAC 0405s would take over them?

Merczrox SG

Replace them on 975?maybe the OAC 0405s will replace them.I think the CAC 0405s also will be scrapped soon.

Scania N113CRB l0v3r SG

Replace them on 975?maybe the OAC 0405s will replace them.I think the CAC 0405s also will be scrapped soon.

Can a Bendy replaced them?

TIB1018B SG

Can a Bendy replaced them?

Don't think SMRT will scrap any of the CAC Mercs as yet, the fleets are now currently going thru mid-life refurbishment that's all.

Anyway service 975 have crossover bendies in the morning. But to have a perm full day bendy on service 975...hmm...I wonder how the bendy is going to make a u-turn at Lim Chu Kang Road end (surprisingly service 82 under Tibs had bendies doing u-turn at Punggol Rd End)

Most probably KJDEP may restore service 975 back to full DAF fleet once again .
