Isn't 82 still under SBST now? If you meant before it got transferred to TIBS before, then they were using Mk2s on it.

As for the rest, I am not very sure. I only knew 5 had MB O305s, 171 used MB O405s and 67 used Mk3s.

For 67, it had mainly O405 WA's when it was running via PIE.

When amended via Changi/Geylang Roads, it had O405 WA for at least 1 year before it became mainly MKIII DM and MKIV DM/Striders, with the occasional O405 WA. I don't recall O405 DMs as a major bus model on 67, though.

Sv. 82 used B10M Mk IIs and Mk IIIs. When it was x-ferred to TIBS, they used O405s and O405Gs, and DAFs if I remember correctly. Sv. 163 used Lances (same for Sv. 82?)

cck_190 SG

What are the ‘amrk2s’

tranquilice SG

He spelled wrongly, it should means mark2.

cck_190 SG

Should'nt there be an air-con service? According to the 1998 bus guides, 307 is Frequent Air-Con while the other two are Partial Air Con

th1988 SG

There is no such term of Frequent Aircon Sv.

Yusry SG

Mainly O405s during the period before takeover. Before that, it was mainly OF1417s with both NZ and Hawke bodies.

cck_190 SG

OOPS Embarassed I mean 307 is PAC while 300 & 302 is NAC, Sorry. Got a little bit confused

cck_190 SG

OOPS Embarassed I mean 307 is Fully AirCon while 300 & 302 is PAC.Sorry, Got a little bit confused.

SBS9818A SG

I remember Sv. 171 used O405s.

delonchew SG

Yup, NAC O405s. I love those NAC O405s. So powerful. Smile

tranquilice SG

Service 171 used AC 0405 too.

SBS9818A SG

Ah, the good old days. They used OAC O405s too.
