hey , new svc 172 Lorong 1 Geylang / Kallang MRT BC set eds wrongly until passenger alert him , then he change . lol

Rooky SG

on test means what? this afternoon i saw a Dennis Trident displaying On Test on the EDS along HG. the back of the bus also have On Test plate. did SBS bought new Dennis Tridents so the bus is on test? or is it they are testing whether is bus is functioning properly? or is there a new route coming up?

bryanseb SG

I also saw this today morning @ HG.

Scania N113CRB luver SG

Erh its Enviro500, used to be called Transbus500. However, the Enviro500 is the modified version of the Trident. Trident 3 is still in production i think. Wink

stooper SG

It used to be called Transbus Enviro 500 before Transbus split up. Wink Yeah, the Trident Chassis is still in production.

sinicker SG

Rooky SG

TIB1049L SG

Most probably they might have a new route under testing.
Anyway, this bus is 89 HGDEP

SBS 233 X SG

80 + 9 = 89.

This bus perm 89.

My guess would be that the BC is undergoing a driving test & seems like SBST is gonna have a new BC real soon

105090 SG

it doesnt have the L plate..

maybe the bus is fitted with some special device and they testing the device?

stooper SG

the training buses have L plates meh? Confused

Scania SG

Its simply road test, usually done after maintenance to ensure bus can run well.

105090 SG

no i mean, if training for class 4A or going for the driving test, there will be an L plate

if its training for route familiarisation etc, and the driver has a 4A license, theres no need for a L.

so training buses.. have 2 purposes.. beofre pass 4A, and after

lemon1974 SG

i dun think new BC are able or allow to drive DDs. Not to say for a learner driver..

Just like someone have said, it should be on some road test after maintenance.

btw, if they did not switch on the EDS and put "ON TEST", i dun think anyone will notice it.

And SBS9690A is on SV 153 today.

manjieass SG

saw an SMRT o405 last week with eds displaying ’ VERSION 5241.2’ (numbers not exact cos i forgot liao..)

Some Class 4 licence holder also drive training buses with L plate what,For familiarising of Bus Interchanges,Auto transmission and other bus opeartion activities.The trainee with orange shirt do not have class 4,Only goes for 4A.(Applies to Malaysian even though they have lorry/bus licence at home and Singaporean class 3),On Test on Trident is the Technician drive that bus under any condition and distances on the road before the bus can be on service.
