Volvo B10TL's on feeder services

last SG · 2008-04-08T23:42:38+00:00

I notice that the plug doors of some Volvo B10TL's exit plug doors are not in very good condition. I boarded SBS9813M today and when it was time for the exit...

gd if SBS don't sell the 2 bendies or else can donate to 1 for 291 and 1 for 293 rite?

Actually, if both public transport operators (SBS Transit & SMRT) are really flexible enough in terms of their fleets and the type of buses they buy, bendies should be deployed on those short haul services such as Service 291, and double deck should be deployed on those long haul services such as Service 190 and 960..

But.... That's already a fat hope case because SBS Transit had already sold their 2 precious bendies away..

Those days when service 190 had LO3x and VO3x under SBS.

yday i took VSO on 72. cannot lah. VSOs are really good for feeders.

Yes. SBS should have bought more than 51 VSOs.

SBS9888Y SG

Yes. SBS should have bought more than 51 VSOs.

i disagree. buy more B9TL. if you want volren bodywork like those B10TL would be fine.

51 is enough. they are slow, they waste fuel and they are noisy.

If they are slow, they waste fuel and they are noisy, they are good for feeders but I don't think it is noisy from the inside.

would prefer other buses to do feeders anyway. what we are saying is. since we have 51 B10TLs jus put the current ones on feeders and shorthaul. dun go and get anymore B10TLs. more than enough.in fact can sell some away.

this younger generation of bus fans cannot appreciate bus specs but only how the bus looks. they also dun appreciate old buses which are way better than the newer buses. like LO3x. so much more powerful than a B10TL.

I miss old annoucements SG

Maybe SBST can refurbish our LO3x's. Maybe good look = bad specs and average looks = better specs. Anyway, I also appreciate our Volvo MKIVs (well mantained ones without problems), Scania N113CRB (OAC and CAC) and Merz O405 (OAC and CAC)'s engines. Some of the Merz O405 are undergoing refurbishment. I wonder how it will look like. The Merz O405s have a degree of smoothness that I don't think our K230UBs have.

if they wanna get second hand

SBS9888Y SG

doesnt mean good looking bus is lousy. our CNGs have good pickup and acceleration though they are problematic. but the new buses now, arent as powerful as the older buses last time. e.g MKII.

if they wanna get second hand

'If' is not in the question. Second hand buses are not allowed with regards to LTA's regulations.

sBs_boy SG

Talking about powerful buses, i would say LO3x is still not the best. O305 should be the bus that is powerful.

haha some of the bus fans have never had a chance to ride those. i put LO3x at least they may have an experience. i remember a BC telling me that he missed the O305s alot. even wanna bring it home.

well what if things change in the future. we're talking about the what ifs.

well its good that we have only 51. haha.

But for now i think the ZF B9TLs fits the title
