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

spotted one weakness...

today some boy go play with the ramp, and the door cant close properly, the bus was forced to leave its exit doors open and travel at 5km/h..

this was SBS7445E on 72.. then someone go do something to the door and the driver drove it to interchange safely

Same as my breakdown SBS7420B but it happened in Tamines Int.

lemon1974 SG

that 7492 is a TYPO lah.
should be 7392 lah..

lemon1974 SG

SBS7440T and SBS7442M are spotted in AMDEP, together with 4 other brand new B9TLs,

They are suspected to be SBS7408M, SBS7434L, SBS7435J and SBS7446C.

seem like another AMDEP sv is gonna to be deploy with B9TLs. There are currently around 10 spare B9TLs in AMDEP.

might be SV 25 to get B9TLs? or SV 88?

below is an article taken from Marketing Interactive Megazibe, February 2007.

the comments are made by an advertisement company MD.

try as i did, i really cannot see what is offensive about the ad or what the fuss is about.

the same ad can be interpreted differently by different people of course- and so even the most innocuous and harmless ad can be made out to be evil, provocative and offensive by someone who is ultra-sensitive.

i dont think it was the intention of sbst or its advertising agency to portray the handicapped in a negative light, and so bring disrepute (indirectly) to their new B9TL buses.

Nice article. However, I have to point out that some people will do whatever it takes to find faults even if its almost perfect. One good example is the

Give way to buses ad. With the quote "Can I not go to school?"

That person in stomp, interprets it as if its promoting kids to skip school (Play truant). I was like ______.

lemon1974 SG

especially so when this guy is a MD of an advertising firm. Of course he will feel that other's design are bad lah.

Why didnt he design one instead?

That person in stomp did not even bother to see the rear of the buses..

btw, the 6 new B9TLs are missing from AMDEP. Might be transferred to BRBP? or some other depots? SBS7440 were seen on SV 21 these few days.

Let see whether any BRBP SV such as 8/28/31/88/143/157 got any B9TL on SUn or next week or not. just a guess only. might not be true.

likely candidate should be SV 28.

Toa Payoh Int Gates A, B ,C is park and alight, board and reverse, cant put out the ramps as the island is too narrow for the WAB to go up the ramp... so unlikely to have any B9TL... sad... always wanted one of those in toa payoh (too bad only cameos from BNDEP)
Toa Payoh Int inaccessible to PIW... for Gates A, B, C

maybe sv. 60, 154 (from eunos) or 157 (uses D, E side, wait, board, depart) but sv. 154 has so many good buses, so i heavily doubt... and for sv.157 BRBP doesnt use their DDs on 157 on weekends... sv.60 will most probably still stick to their VO3x Batch I

lemon1974 SG

so does SV60/154 go to Toa Payoh interchange? no right?

TWS4793 SG

Both Service 60 and Service 154 do not go to Toa Payoh Interchange; it goes to Eunos Interchange.

9888Y mixed up Eunos Int & Toa Payoh Int Laughing

SBS9806J SG

Wonder why SBST never say Service 2, 7, 51, 72, 76 are WAB services

^tamago^ SG

i think need at least half of the fleet or so to be WAB to qualify, or sth like that....

SBS1985C SG

y 28?

service_238 SG

Wait.

SBS9888Y SG

what i meant was only 157 use other side, and 60 and 154 are the other BRBP ADD svces... i caused the confusion by putting these three services together then writing (Gates D, E)... well i think my point was put across already... if u dont get what i mean... i'll explain again

because SBS1985C deserves a better service like maybe 40...
