Question About SBS Transit Buses?

boy20 SG

I have some questions about SBST Buses, I hope you bus fans can help me.

1. When will the 36XX, 37XX, 38XX type of buses be 'sent to sleep"?

2. The new 150 Double Decker buses that SBST are buying, are they air-con or non air-con types?

3. When will the 72XX type of buses be "sent to sleep"?

4. Will the Jurong Industial Services be "non air-con forever"

More will come soon.

Superbus SG

SBS 3573U to SBS 3722G - Scania N113CRBs, introduced in 1989. They should be retiring in 2006 when they reached statutory age of 17 years.

2. The new 150 Double Decker buses that SBST are buying, are they air-con or non air-con types?

They will be airconditioned. SBST and SMRTB will no longer purchase new non-aircon buses.

3. When will the 72XX type of buses be "sent to sleep"?

They should be retired beginning 2011.

4. Will the Jurong Industial Services be "non air-con forever"

That will depend on who operates the services in future.

They will be gradually phased out from the middle of 2005. Full withdrawal expected by the end of 2006.

ok thanks ^tamago^

Volvo Olympian SG

Of course!..It should be Air-con Double decker.Probably should be the NEW VSO!!

Superbus SG

I don’t know how many times must we say the new 150 double-deckers won’t be the B10TL model.

The_Bus_Guide SG

That's right. The Super Olympian or B10TL are no longer in production. They are replaced by the B9TL, of which SBST has purchased 150 units. What's the difference? For starters, the enigne capacity is smaller, 9-litres compared to 10-litres for the VSO. But the most obvious difference will be the position of the radiator. On the B9TL, it is located at the rear and not under the staircase.

^tamago^ SG

1. VSO is B10TL
2. B10TL is not B9TL.

Therefore,

3. VSO is not B9TL.
