Service 980

throw them away? remove them from SV 980 right? good idea..
remove all the nissans from SV 980, and since SMRT does not have enough buses, so SMRT wont replace any buses that is remove from SV 980 and thus it will operate at longer frequency at maybe around 25-30 mins with lesser buses on SV 980 Very Happy

Which means cut 4 WL buses, left 9 buses from AMK to run on service 980 Very Happy

Then withdraw services 178 and 981 Laughing

jetabt767400 SG

Always and periodically see 665P on 963 in the morning... Surprised

anti_NISSAN_U31 SG

return it back to 980!!!!!! Evil or Very Mad

If SMRT considered them useless, then they would not even put them in revenue service. Sad

I think i figured out why everyone hates CAC Nissans....BUT!!!! This is hereby a 980 thread, so post your CAC lamenting elsewhere. Razz

Uh, and to those who hates the Nissans, consider writing a petition, writing in to Straits Times or go to the Hong Lim Park (Speaker's Corner). Mr. Green

The reasons is simple,The spare parts are practically cheap/Easy to maintain/Easy to get spare parts and the engine is very durable and rugged although the aircon and acceleration sucks compared to Mercedes,Dennis,Scanias!I’ve got a feeling that they will scrap or withdrawn them gradually once they purchase zero step bendies or rigid buses.

lemon1974 SG

they will rather use those scania as spare, so that they can hear less unreasonable/unnecessary complains from people like you...

just remove the Nissan from SV 980 and left it with 9 buses. Those scanias will remain as spare for other services..

jetabt767400 SG

Ah, 963 got some load when 665P is around, I have nothing against this, but 963 do have a lot of bendies in Bukit Batok-towards-Habourfront direction, within 5 minutes, I don't mind if 665P is not on 963 at all and placed perm on 980, even if I take 963 in the morning, but some services do need it more, then can take away.
Need it more as in look better, or customer flow, it all depends on who and where you see...

jetabt767400 SG

Said before, SMRT can sell all of the CAC Nissans they have now, to some country, take more sell more better, since brother company CSS want to give away buses, and then take the cash, buy some low floor, modern looking, OAC Neoplan Centroliners, first hand please!
Then service 980 deserve some low floor, modern buses.

jetabt767400 SG

I dun have any business relationship with Neoplan, but just that I have a Centroliner in my fleet of models, and its just so cool, why not have something that can satisfy so many conditions?
Great, alot of ideas...

9 buses full ctrl by AMK Cool

off_service SG

Good news to those who don't really fancy UD (I'm sure there are some). As of 02 October, there are no UDs (at least full day) spotted on service 980. There seem to be an increase in the number of Scanias (WA and ELBO) and Dennis Lance.

Scanias spotted are TIB 649 L and TIB 844 P.

Any information about service 980 today (3rd Oct 2006) ??

Looks like service 178 and 187 got more Nissans instead Twisted Evil

Lord_Of_Hayan SG

99% of their fleets are Nissans. The other 1 % is a Nissan SP bus.

Why target the nissans again........i getting a bit sick of seeing nissans here, nissan there, nissans sucks....... please tell SMRT if u dont like the nissans. work out a solution with them. This is called "Feedback to SMRT, How can we improve our services?"

stooper SG

Yeah... 187 getting more Nissans... 191X & 192T spotted on 187 these days. 1

187 today also got 178 Nissans - 369U & 370P

Maybe now 980 no more Nissans, all dump on 187 instead... Laughing

ZYX2005 SG

for gods sake. can they like put the nissans on services like 945 947 941 or 800 or 804 or 911 or 964 or 950...

How about the UDs goes for chartered services while the PA Lances goes to revenue?

TIB1018B SG

Services 941, 945, 947 only if Nissans transfer to KJDEP Rolling Eyes
Services 800, 804 happened before Mr. Green
Services 911, 950, 964 I will be shocked to see it happening Shocked

TIB1018B SG

Good idea Very Happy
