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

Not quite sure, but the B9TLs took over the LO duties today.

So their special bell is a buzzer, kind of like the upper saloon bell?

lol

no

more like the Australian type of bell for older batch B9s just driiing.

in newer B9s it will be an irritating incessant ringing at drivers dash.

i myself have handled the ramp before at the thank u commuters day carnival. rather heavy thing for small size me. but cn do. cn be fast also. its what i cll fold up n down ramp

personally i prefer such ramps coz they rock. lol

the pop out from slot n drop down kind also cool.

I must say that some B9TLs turned up at very odd places.

One was on service 10 while another one appeared on Service 107. The most shocking part was when I saw a Merc 0405G Volgren Bendy at Shenton Way. Shocked

spotted a few more brand new B9TLs in AMDEP today..

saw 7475/7468.. i think 7494/7497 are also there..

btw, there is no more B9TLs on lay up status.

SBST have paid roadtax for those balance B9 and all have been out from the lay up status. so we shall see these balance B9TL very soon.. it is anybody guess on which service they are going...

Who says BRBP won't get the B9TLs for S143? Don't underestimate BRBP, although it is just a bus park. Any B9TLs from other depots come down to BRBP for maintanance, FYI. I've spotted B9TLs from other depot inside BRBP workshop. I once saw a B9TL chassis. Laughing

Those technical staffs repairing B9TLs in bram are not SBST staff, they are ComfortDelgro Engineering staff, ComfortDelgro is responsible for repairing Volvo buses in Singapore under warranty. So if you are SBST and you need CDGE staff to repair, you need to have some transaction between the two companies.

That shows that B9TL is as good as home Laughing

accordingly to one motoring website, the lifespan of those B9TLs on lay up status start on the date of their registration (i.e 26 /27/28 sept 2006).

So for most of the B9TLs, their lifespan have shorten by a few months by the time they hit the roads.

Hi everyone, took Svc 143 [SBS 7462E] yesterday afternoon (Sat) for a ride from Jurong East to Orchard Road. It was a wonderful and silent ride! The engine was quite powerful and acceleration was effortless. Of course, the VO's and LO's have a more powerful brunt!

I guess, if the driver had driven a little harder......it may be even faster. Smile

not only that ! Many girls whom i saw on friendster also like to take pics on B9TL as well ! Laughing

Btw, did you all know that Svc 88 is operating one B9TL? I saw it at Toa Payoh central….the wheels look really shiny…didn’t catch the rego though.
