News I received said that LTA was the one behind the B9s on 151. From a company's POV I would rather squeeze the tert concession payers on a K230 than to deploy a DD on 151. I believe subsidised paying passengers make up some 70% of S151's customer base.

Yep. 151 got alot of students from the schools around the clementi and bt timah area too.

one of the 151/200 crossover has been cut wef today.

Wow, DDs deployed on service 151, after a long wait. Think maybe service 96 should also get VO3x soon lol.

Also wondering where SBS8124A will land up to next.

Funny guy. Ben is kind enough to post redeployments here. 7383A is being replaced by 9655C. Simple as that.

There should be no deployments of Vo3X other than B9TL on NUS services.

Then u are saying only svc 10 can use Vo3x although it does not pass NUS though...

Simple_boi SG

Yes. I think i made myself clear enough. That's the reason for using B9TL for sv151 along NUS. If not SBST won't even deploy B9TL on sv151. And it was a request from LTA to deploy B9TL along NUS.

oo ok.

nenepokey SG

wonder if a VO2x/VO3x would ever cameo on 151

I wonder when will Service 10 get its share of B9TLs.

Simple_boi SG

Maybe there will be. haha. However sure wont be perm.

For eg.
2696 2779 2812 are being requested by Nokia to deploy on certain routes. Despite they pay money to advertise, these 3 buses still get to cameo around. However, they sure wont be perm for other svc.

SBS7484P SG

wad if one day 151 gets perm vo2x in exchange for the B9's. hehehe.

Simple_boi SG

Unless LTA say so. haha

I think this is one of the rare cases where they took a bus's performance into significant consideration.

The VO2X is not too well-endowed with power and braking ability and does show a tendency to skid like the other Olympians.

SBS7484P SG

if it happens NUS ppl gonna complain like siao again.. hehe. * ya! still got DD! why not! u wanted it! "whispers: but now is NAC hehehe"*

VO2 is quite good in terms of power cus of the weight and the engine is juz the right power to run it. unlike the VO3X, which is heavy and the aircon take a toll on the engine. not only that, sbst regulate the fuel pump by turning it down. so it makes the acceleration and speed even lousier

but i dun understand why the skid. isit cos its brakes not fit with ABS system?

16/f/lonely SG

It's the weight of the vehicle in question.

I've seen every type skid.....but the worst are the L113s and the Olympians. But that's just my observation.

Although I concur that the VO2X is not bad, but it does show strain on slopes that are only fairly steep with load. Contrast that to the B9TL, and I think you'll know why the B9TL is deployed instead.

Speaking of regulating fuel pumps, some of the VO3X can practically "fly" without it. Laughing
