Trivia About Singapore Buses/Bus-Related Topics

I believe the old Boon Lay was the most jammed. When queueing up for the parking lots, the buses would have to loop 2 times around the parking lots before gettng to park. Shocked
We have yet to see the new Boon Lay interchange being tested to the limits... wait till August... Laughing

Once the BCs even had to park the buses on the right lane at Old Boon Lay Int during peak/non-peak hrs. Confused

No need to wait till August, just see svc 172 bendy & svc 187 bendy arrived the berth at the same time, whole Temp Int jam... Laughing

My bad, you were right. The Nissan purchase, and not the Isuzu purchase, was their last major order. The Nissan purchase came after their purchase of the Isuzus, and they were STC's last purchase before they came crashing down. However, you were wrong on one thing: they did manage to buy a few Mitsubishi demos before that.

Eeeet. You are wrong again. Please scroll up and read my previous posts. I did mention about the Mitsubishi buses

Quote: "STC also bought Mitsubishi and Nissan Diesel RX102K3/4R94 buses, which were their last purchase circa. 1967-69."

And your response to that, meaning you saw what I posted,
Quote: "Their later purchases, if I'm not wrong, were either small purchases or demonstrators (think Scania L94UB and Dennis Darts/Tridents is to SBS Transit as those Mitsubishi and Nissan Diesel buses are to STC)."

Also, there were only 2 Mitsubishi buses, hardly 'a few' if you ask me. These 2 jokers, designed for Japan's climate, were unable to cope with heavy traffic in the tropical heat and suffer frequent breakdowns. Hence, Nissan was the chosen supplier for their next batch of new buses.

Maybe I was a bit hazy, but you set it all clear; that was what I intended to mean. Thanks (especially that bit of trivia about those two Mitsubishi buses).
