TIB1018B SG

TIB1213D SG

TIB1018B SG

I used to work in Tengah Airbase in 2001-2005 and have noticed the deployment everyday while passing by CCK Smile

TIB1213D SG

I think it's quite strange that a route that was the testbed for the bendy bus has no more bendy buses now... the last time I saw one on route 171 was a few years ago, with the second version of the Hispano-bodied MB O405G. Anybody know why there are no more bendies on that route?

Also, I keep hearing peristent rumours about a bendy bus on route 858 years ago, but from the information I gather here, the closest route 858 ever got bendy buses was when it's short-working trip route, route 858A, had it before. Could there had been a mix-up between routes 858 and 858A when someone said he saw a bendy bus on route 858? I can't imagine a bendy bus squeezing into the narrow Changi Airport basement...

TIB1213D SG

bendies on 171 was withdrawn mainly becoz of low demand during the non-peak, sometimes, the bus would be empty.
But dun understand why they withdraw totally, SMRT shuld have used some bendies during peak hours Rolling Eyes

858A could be a crossover from other svcs tat uses bendy buses Rolling Eyes

TIB1213D SG

but even though it is a crossover, a bendy would be impossible to fit in the Changi airprt parking bay, no space at all.

imagine bendies running up the kerbs every now and then Laughing

TIB1018B SG

858A operates only between Woodlands and Yishun Ave 2 in the morning peak, it doesn’t go to Changi Airport at all.

Perm full fleet: 180,

I suspect 180 has 1 WLDEP crossover in the morning... Don't think it's a bendy... Around 7.00 - 7.15am will be on Jurong Town Hall Road. I've seen a Scania cameoing on it before, as well as WL O405s...

Anyway, I think some 180 bendies should be removed and placed on 187 instead.... 180 seldom packed... 187 evening peak almost every bus packed to the front door.

And after 11:55pm , Sv 858 will terminate at Yishun Int

TIB1213D SG

out of topic, why there isnt perm bendies on 911, i find it packed during the peak hours, moreover, it is an intratown, shuldnt it deserve bendies as perm and not rare cameos? Rolling Eyes

Volvo Olympian SG

I did remember Sv 911 have bendies before. When i was staying in WDL last time , i usually see a lot of Bendies on 911 , not so sure for now.

TIB1213D SG

the last time i took it, it was filled with 950 0405s, no sight of bendies Crying or Very sad

vivienlee SG

Should put on 980 instead of 180 Cool

Btw really got Scania 180 meh Question Shocked Got any pics of it Mr. Green

TIB1213D SG

That MUST BE RARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rolling Eyes Shocked

anti_NISSAN_U31 SG

Nvr seen a Scania sv180 before...but have seen a DAF sv180 indeed Shocked Shocked Shocked

stooper SG

Yeah! Me too see, DAF before… If you go to Jurong Town Hall Road (intersection with PIE) there, at around 7 – 7.15am, there should be a WLDEP xover heading to BNL… That was last year… Should still be similar this year unless timetable change…

hi

no 184 and 960 did not get box bendies first. i stand by the answer is 82. no 176 got their bendies after 851. TIB838H was still on 171 when 851 got thier bendies
