BTW do you see the possibility of 64 using BT9Ls in the near future especially it serves the aging Queenstown estate?

B9TL seems like playing hide & seek now.

Please kindly wait for B9TL to hit the roads. Very Happy

Hey, I have one thing forgotten to share with everyone here!

Last Thu I went to St Mikes.

At the sv125 berth nearest to main road, which has ramps, there are works going on...........

Looks like it is to cater the passengers with special needs coming by the B9TLs in the near future...........becos the location of the ramp is rather near to the exit door of the buses.....when being down to the bus parking bay of that berth.........

My guess would be that the B9TLs would be deployed to 161 and 168 bcos the ZF6HP500 seems to be the right choice for a svc that runs long distance on highways. On the other hand, with 150 coming, don’t need to really guess.

^tamago^ SG

agree.

but still on our minds is how is SBST going to supply the buses of 109, if for some reason 10 of them dun come out by the end of the month...

SGEMP SG

since 109 is to start from S'goon Int (HGDEP-controlled), I think the HGDEP would supply it with the mk2s which are currently "spare" in HGDEP..........should there be any delay in the release of B9TLs.........

Just now I have browsed through the mk2 deployment list in sgwiki, and I have noticed that there may be sufficient HGDEP SP mk2s for sv109's use.

Also I am not sure if sv109 can use B9TLs.............

^tamago^ SG

22 spare buses for a 517-bus fleet is already quite insufficient, imagine left with 12 spare buses only.

B9TL does not necessary have to be on B9TL, the objective is to add buses. if i add B9TL to this service, then the freed up single decks can come over to 109....

HGDEP 22 SP bus only Confused Lucky some ex-SL MK 2s came to HG to "help" the situation if not ..... ....

^tamago^ SG

this time round who will donate the buses sia... like tat everywhere will also have shortage... Confused

SBS 233 X SG

Use PA plate buses from SMRT Laughing Since they now nothing to do.

I saw bus service 78’s volvo training bus at Pasir Ris area. Could there be possiblity SBST use that bus on svc 109 ? Perhaps SBST release a few B9TL on that day slowly before the rest come out later.

SBS 233 X SG

Maybe yes...maybe no.....

The sv78's volvo buses are the PSV SC. They should be SBS8024E or SBS8025C.

^tamago^ SG

SBS8024C and SBS8025E are used for training purposes, just like SBS81S. no ez-link card readers.....

SBS BUSES LOVER SG

no side desto holder , seats still not refurbished ( blue coloured seats )

SBS3625D SG

8024E and 8025C are trainers based at HGDEP, more likely you are referring to 8 others 8019-8028.

iveco SG

Don't spend too much time on the roads. Your Os should be the priority for now.

brotherchen1982 SG

NAC Scanias are also use as training bus from HGDEP.

SBS 233 X SG

I thought he meant sv78's model bus doing Training. The rest of the 78 Training unlikel do Training Rolling Eyes

iveco SG

For once I am with you on this.

Anyway, congrats on being appointed member mod @ Sinbus. You have indeed changed for the better from what I see. Very Happy

BTW, Tranq seems to have gone MIA of late. MTYC also quiet.
