Bus Service Plates

last SG · 2005-05-14T21:24:48+00:00

Used to have: ex services which used to ply from old MacPherson Terminal and passing thru MacPherson Estate such as 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 135 221 232 services...

iveco SG

158 later became a single-plate route after being amended to Tanjung Rhu, if I'm not mistaken. The green & white plates on 61 and 154 vanished when ADDs were introduced. Another service using different coloured plates was 147 before its integration with 83.

Bedok - Toa Payoh Bedok - Serangoon Serangoon - Tanjong Rhu (loop).

on bus #63 it says Eunos Int as it’s destination.but on other buses heading to Eunos Int ,they say Eunos.hmm..

iveco SG

This is common on buses using newer destoes. Those on 151 say HOUGANG CENTRAL INT.

tranquilice SG

If I'm not wrong, service 143 is the first service with such destos. Confused

why sv48 front plate is new font but back one is old font? and also, why S'goon svcs have to change to new font after changed to volvos? sv197 62 and 82 also like tt.. Sad
and did sv170 red changes/renew its side plates or used the old ones for a decade plus?

and why sv160 front plate font look so odd? Embarassed

SBS9889U SG

I Think 170 Red uses back its old destos as i have not seen new ones.

SBS9889U SG

I Think 170 Red uses back its old destos as i have not seen new ones.

105090 SG

they may just replace the old and torn ones with new ones, as in old fonts etc but a new one instead.. sv186 got new ones with old fonts.

iveco SG

Why did EUN & SER bus routes need new destoes after the depot swap? I understand that some buses use different kinds of side desto, but what about front ones? I believe some of the front destoes were still good.

170 uses some of its old front destoes and uses new destoes...but!....the format is the same....destination + number in the middle...the same case as 160...fonts for 160 n 170(new) are not the same as the old...

I tynk, 160 n 170 services do not use new fonts as this is a sensitive issue...the same case as in the model used...ads on the bus also...imagine if singapore shows off her buses to malaysia...u tynk malaysia will be happy about it...malaysia very sensitive...yet their buses r outdated n deir service management are of a lower quality....

Imagine showing off 160 using 9889U...ok lah...not possible...but imagine all SDs wif new fonts....

cck_190 SG

Difficult to imagine that, but i could imagine SMRT 950 using Hino Volgrens and Habit Bendies Laughing

or 160/170 using the Superlong Shocked

Volvo Olympian SG

SBS997A u mean? cannot..Definately Cannot

105090 SG

sv160 and sv170 are sensitive services.. theres a reason on why the buses on these 2 svcs:
-have to be modified eg back brake light, arm rests, red and white emergency door, company name at side of bus etc.
-all uses the same buses ie mk3
-no DDs to date (custom have to go upstairs to check and becos m'sia no Dds?)
-why 160 n 170 uses green and white side plate still instead of red and white

etc

SBS9889U SG

Then why did SBST allow the change of MK2s to MK3s?

samtlk SG

air-conditioning

iveco SG

Only the Mk IIIs have the additional brake light. There was no such rule when the Mk IIs dominated. Also, I believe the Johor Umno government's guai lan attitude only meant 170 going FAC as late as 2001 when most other high-demand routes had gone FAC back in 1998.

tranquilice SG

SBST is progressively changing all front destos to the new font (except for services 160 and 170). It's just a matter of time to get them replaced.

SBS9889U SG

No new front desto for 93 yet.
