106...True...i dont recall any Volvos on it... MBs n Leylands only...Atlanteans n Lynx... but before the handover in Nov/Dec 00... there was a VO3x....
SBS 96xx x

61......there was one time when there was a Leyland Olympian 3axled cameoing... i saw it at a bus stop along Commonwealth Drive... obvious from the wholly painted red wheel and diff ac grill behind da bus...n oso da badge...

TIB1133B SG

That was 9628. Now on 166.

A number of Ex-106 LO3Xes also wound up on 166, like 9033, 9084 & 9143.

Old Jurong Depot / Bus Park.

During the SBS days, CCK services 172, 175 and 188 were controlled by Jurong whereas services 185, 190, 300, 302 and 307 were controlled by Bt Batok. Service 67 was controlled by both Bt Batok and Bedok Nth.

After Tibs took over these services, Kranji took control of all CCK services except partial control of 67 which is from AMK.

9006, 9007, 9051 also under 166. They are also ex-106 perm LO3x.

9199 was also on 166.

at amk int, 166 was first to get Superbus with LO3x, then 25 got it with VO3x.

Volvo Olympian SG

SBS9199 is now on 168.

then in the bukit panjang days, did the buses park at the woodlands depot? (the one at the junction of woodlands rd/ kranji MRT)?

Apex-LW'21 SG

Don't think so, but only BBDEP was all along there serving Jurong East, Bt Batok, CCK & Bt Panjang Services.

When SBS handed its WDL services to TIBS, SBS WLDEP closed down in the 1980s, according to the earlier threads.

Those VO2x of 190 was the Most Shiok Thing in the past…

TIB1018B SG

Other than services 198, 506 and the current 160, Bt Batok have never operated any of the Jurong East / Boon Lay services before. All are operated by the old Jurong Bus Park followed by the new Soon Lee multi-storey depot Wink
(If so, u would have seen more Striders and MK3s on services like 78, 79, 97, 98, 143, 183, JE feeders etc...... Laughing )

For your info, Kent Ridge services 151 and 200 were also once operated by Jurong. It was later transferred over to Bt Batok / Ayer Rajah somewhere in 1999 when CCK services were transferred over to Tibs.

TIB1018B SG

Now we have the Habits Mr. Green

SBS9889U SG

I thought 66 was under BB before going to SL?

TIB1018B SG

Have seen service 66 with partial MB0405 fleets all the while, all should be under Jurong / Soon Lee. The Volvo fleets are mainly from Bedok Nth, some from Jurong / Soon Lee too.

Sv 172 is based on Boon Lay under SBS...it only passes by CCK on the way to loop @ Jln Anak Bt. Therefore Jurong buses were used instead.

Sv 175 is based on LCK...only turn in to CCK but doesn't terminate there.

Sv 67, 185, 190, 300, 302 and 307 are original CCK svcs, the whole batch under Bt Batok. Sv 67 was oso under Bedok Nth cos this svc goes all the way to Tampines. (Even under Tibs, 1/2 of the ctrl got to go to AMK due to the distance n the # of buses used 4 the long journey Rolling Eyes )

Sv 188 in fact is the most extraordinary CCK service during its SBS days......it was based in CCK however Jurong was the one controlling this svc instead of Bt Batok Shocked Shocked Shocked

anti_NISSAN_U31 SG

and once after 175 becomes TIBS, the SBS' NAC 0405s were replaced with the dirty old TIBS' NAC Hinos Twisted Evil

SBS9889U SG

Last time Sv66 dont have MBO405s, all striders or almost all. I can remember it was like 1997 or around there.

SBS9889U SG

Lucky not Nissan Laughing

vivienlee SG

Yeah...still remember i was once workin in murai camp...everyday gotta take those dirty old NAC buses...one batch of them Evil or Very Mad

To add on, when i sat on one of such buses in the past, the bus was totally "bing...bing...bong...bong...poio...poio..." n all kinds of creaking sounds thruout the journey along LCK...worse still the brown cushion on 1 of the seats totally came off from the metal structure........ Shocked Twisted Evil Shocked Shocked
