10 more Volvo B10BLE-CNG (Volgren Cr222L) buses have been commissioned by SBS Transit. These buses are parked in Soon Lee Bus Park, and will be under their charge.

These buses have been acquired by SBS Transit in 2003 but have since been laid up in the depots while fuel consumption and feasibility studies were being done on the 2 identical buses, SBS2988M and SBS2989K, since 2002. They were initially deployed on Jurong Island Services 711, 712 and 713, before being put on Service 105 after SBST decided not to continue the JIS service.

These compressed natural gas (CNG) buses are expected to be deployed on Services 98, 105, 174 and 502.

The registrations of the 10 buses are:
SBS2990E
SBS2991C
SBS2992A
SBS2993Y
SBS2994U
SBS2995S
SBS2996P
SBS2997L
SBS2998J
SBS2999G

Please help to look out for our first new buses for the year 2006. Very Happy

cannot find the new buses on road. unlikely to feature on jre services next week so we’re left with 174 and 502.

You did not discover the registering of the CNG B10BLEs first. Stop taking the credit as your own.

service_238 SG

The discovery was done on 30th December 2005 at 2230hrs.

^tamago^ SG

but no one notified me. the discovery was made during a routine check of the LTA car registration system on the morning of 1st January.

since no one posted this in the public domain, there is no proof of its existence nor could anyone claim its credit without proof in the eyes of the public. this discovery is made with a public effort.

SBS9818A SG

Why should we notify you given the fact you have a penchant for leaking out information that doesn't need to be told?

Service_238 and I happened to access the system on 30 Dec and made the discovery which was first posted on SGBuses on that very day. OH wait, I FORGOT!! You're NO LONGER a member of SGBuses!

Windy_hates_B10TLs SG

Alan, there's a reason why nobody notified you. Because we knew you were going to post it everywhere. This was classified information. You will probably be threatened with legal action now by SBST or the LTA. When will you get it into your thick skull that you don't post this sort of info on the public domain, and then have the audacity to take it as your own.

^tamago^ SG

so you could see why there is no possibility that this public discovery is made with the help of insiders.

that's why a public effort is being made to ensure the public have access to such information, especially since LTA's road tax facility is a public domain facility. this is the least that we can do to keep the public abre-ast of the development of buses in singapore.

this information is out in the public, i wonder why there isn't a need to share information.

^tamago^ SG

this is not classified information. you don't want me to shoot an email to LTA to seek clarification on this matter, and have them close down the online road tax facility? Laughing

^tamago^ SG

initial claims ceded. we need to get information out to the general public.

SBS9818A SG

It's not classified information but the general public would not even bother to check it out in the first place. As if they have as much time as you do.

And does it really matter if they know these buses will be coming out? They will still appear on the roads sooner or later.

SBS9818A SG

Simply because 99% of the general public couldn't be the least bothered about such things taking place.
