last SG · 2006-10-10T23:24:15+00:00

theres a wait-and-see approach encik ayam.. why so few bus purchased to replace so many buses.. in future.. theres CCL.. i guess SBS forsee many services wi...

choww SG

I personally think that sv143 cannot use LO3X as most of the time it break down easily..Is it that the LO3X cannot travel on long distance?I have encounter a few times that the LO3X usually break down on sv143..

vivienlee SG

maybe replace all DD 143s wif B9TLs/VSOs, then the LO3x goes to JIS feeders Very Happy

sinicker SG

think the industrial workers rather have NAC buses so as to save $ thank you very much.

SBS9889U SG

You lucky loh i take so many times LO3 on 143 never breakdown so no breakdown tix Crying or Very sad

sbst275 SG

Eventually all the NAC buses will have to go

tanjun SG

I thought svc 143 has used Lo3x for a very long time?

sBs_boy SG

Breakdown ? you must be kidding.. Leyland buses are one of th most reliable buses around..

stooper SG

Except those on 179, which seldom achieves a "full attendance" LO3x... Laughing

Probably because of the very stressful driving...

I think Svc 143 deserves better buses such as B9TLs since it passes by Orchard, Chinatown and Harbourfront which are places of interest and in addition, the demand of this svc is there.

Volvo Olympian SG

this bus was burn in 1994 if im not wrong. Back then when this guy was very new Crying or Very sad

lemon1974 SG

since the introduce of LO3x loh.

SBS9010 to SBS9021 were deployed in 1993.

till now, most of these buses are still on SV 143, with some additions when it is converted to FAC.

Only new bus added is VSO SBS9815. Should put more VSO/B9TL or even VO3x on SV 143 since it is high demand...

ZYX2005 SG

well

143 has some gassies , one b10tl. and the occasional strider or vo3x cameo

there is also 2699 on 143 what

SBS3625D SG

The LO3X is actually one of my favourites for long distance, being able to sustain speeds of above 65 or even 70 on many occasions. My other favourite is the MKIII.

off_service SG

Ask SBST.

SBS BUSES LOVER SG

time to come , Lo3X , 0405s shd appear on JIS svcs

when Vo2X retire when SBST wipes out NAC buses

anti_NISSAN_U31 SG

by d time vo2x retires is oso times up 4 d lo3x too Twisted Evil

Acx1688 SG

Eh must put in a fair word, LO3X can speed n be faster than VSO anytime, it's more reliable than VSOs/VO3X on expressways, for sv143, try taking SBS9044, one of the better engines around Cool
Do refrain from condemning the bus coz it's old n the 1st batch of AC DDs!

stooper SG

But when you compare them to the Nissans which are built around the same time, they look so much newer! Shocked Shocked Even LO3x A/C still powerful...

lemon1974 SG

LO3x will retire earlier than VO2x if SBST does not extend the lifespan...
MB0405 will retire even earlier than LO3x....
