The MK II is SBS1730X with Ichiban LCD TV ad. I saw the recovery truck behind the bus at Bedok Int at around 4pm, but I don't know why it takes till 7pm to reach PIE. Maybe bus too heavy? Smile

SBS9677P on Svc 80 broke down along Upp Serangoon Rd outside Kovan Station in the direction towards Harbourfront due to air-con failure.

The problem first surfaced along Punggol Rd when the air-con stopped abruptly and there's a ringing sound. Bus captain stopped the bus opposite Hougang Central Int stop and knocked on something continuously (Presumably the air-con control) and managed to get it working after 5 minutes of repeated knockings.

However, the problem occured again a few stops later and the driver stopped at the Kovan Station stop and repeated the same trick. Although the air-con resumed with a gentle breeze (much less powerful than originally), the bus captain still declared a breakdown.

Complimentary ticket:

Cool Ticket. Wished I had one. I never had this bus ticket as all the Scania N113 I took never seem to breakdown. But I cant help it as they are my favourite buses. When will I be able to get this ticket for my own personal collection?

brotherchen1982 SG

I used to have 2 complimentary tickets both are due to air-con failure, now left 1... Very Happy

First is from svc 88 DD with the air-con stopped abruptly and there's a continuous tinkling sound but I used it up to continue my ride to Bishan. Sad

Second is from svc 154(SBS9129E), whole interior bus windows are misty; got no air-con for quite long & BC stop the bus along Bt Timah Rd to issue complimentary tickets... Mr. Green

samtlk SG

Fault alarm for Volvo buses. For LO3Xs its beeping. For MB buses its a loud continuous beep.

SBS2773R sv64 broke down along Clemenceau Ave bus stop aft Haw Par Building around 1450hrs...

stooper SG

Do LOs have some kind of "topple" sensor? When 179 buses do sharp turns at speed, I've sometimes heard "beep beep beep". Then when the bus goes straight again, the beep is gone.

SBS9889U SG

It would be good if a Service 59 MK2 WA brokedown when its in service(ppl dun haf to wait 30 mins for 1 bus cos i ran back to depot maybe knowing that there would be a breakdown and brokedown halfway) The I would get my first breakdown ticket Very Happy but not on PIE.

samtlk SG

No. It's just that when the bus does a sharp turn, the water level went below the sensor on that side of the tank due to centripetal force. There isn't any alarm when the bus turns in the opposite direction or straightens.
