carbikebus SG Need help here guys,are svs 401 available on this friday the 23rd?I'm going to a birthday party at east coast(pit 64) and which bus stop no should i alight?(from bedok)Thanx
off_service SG Due to the length of the superlong bus, SBS Transit has to consider the width of the roads the service ply to prevent the bus from any dangers along the road, like hitting the lamp posts, or even cars and pedestrians when turning.
tranquilice SG Yes, service 401 will operate from today (22 Jan) to this Sunday (25 Jan). The opearting hours tomorrow (23 Jan) will be from 10am to 8pm.
tranquilice SG East Coast Park pit 64 is near car park F2, which is very far away from the route of service 401. Nearest bus stop is at car park F3, served by 36 from Changi Airport. (no bus stop at the opposite side) http://www.nparks.gov.sg/parks/loc/par-loc-eas_coa.shtml Click on the link above, then click on the map East Coast E,F for the pit location.
carbikebus SG Have some doubts here, Changi airport,Upp east coast,Jln kembangan(svs42) & Changi village belongs to which depots? Lastly from your opinion,is it possible that the superlongbus(sbs997)to enter changi airport basement roads?
off_service SG Changi Airport services 24 & 53: Ang Mo Kio (SBST) Depot 27: Hougang Depot 36: Bedok North Depot 858: Ang Mo Kio (TIBS) / Woodlands Depot Upper East Coast Terminal services 13: Ang Mo Kio (SBST) Depot 853C: Ang Mo Kio (TIBS) Depot Jalan Kembangan service 42: Bedok North Depot Changi Village services 2, 9, 19, 29: Bedok North Depot 89: Hougang Depot SBST B10M-61 Superlong SBS 997 A would have more problems accessing the basements of Changi Airport PTBs compared to due to the "inflexibility" of the bus. Manuvouring in the basement is another issue.

TIB1186Z SG hmmm.....interesting.... 997A can access the basement if the driver is skillful enough. But let me point out where it is going to get its butt jammed Ter 1: Pretty straight basement, but manouvering out of the right lane ( boarding side ) to the left lane would pose some problem. Some novice drivers can take a full minute to turn that "S" shaped bend without hitting anything Ter 2: Oh no! It can be a handy barricade destroyer though Its full of tight turns and bends especially Ter 2 is now being upgraded, and yes, it includes the basement. Regarding DDs, the DDs can easily pass in Ter1 and out again due to the 4.5m height restriction. However, it will be stuck at the entrance to Ter 2 basemnt with a clearance of approx 3.0m, or the roof will be ripped off. I think that theoretically, Bendies should be able to access the basements as they have a smaller turning radius than the normal 12m buses, with possibly the exception of the ultra-long SBS998Y ( does anyone know?) I would very much want to see SBS999U on service 36 cos it deserves that. A Habit or a Volgren on service 858 in the morning shift change at 7-8am would also be a nice idea. Pls share ur ideas on this
carbikebus SG Yeah man,If not for those restrictions,Changi airport should have dd's & bendies buses.I believe that some of the tourists prefer taking buses rather than taking cabs or rental cars.What a pity!
tranquilice SG The height clearance of terminal 2 basement is 3.8m. You can see the sign on the right near the security post or the green overhead sign at the entrance of the basement. The 3.0m sign is for vehicles turning left before the security post.
tranquilice SG Someone has mentioned here that bendy are deployed on service 858 before, but due to the basement roads in the airport, they are taken out soon after.
SBS9818A SG Tourists would only take buses if they are travelling on a shoestring budget. Hopefully the Changi Airport centralised bus station comes into play, and double-decks can be introduced on Sv. 27, Sv. 53, and O405Gs on Sv. 858. I miss my 989.
off_service SG The entrance gate to Terminal 1 basement is 4.5m tall, but at the basement entrance, if you notice carefully, there's a sign showing 3.8m or 3.9m in height.
carbikebus SG Wonder why some ppl called the volvo dm3500 mark 5?What about the emissions standard for dm3500, latest volvo olympian 96xx series,Dennis tridents,TIBS MB0405g & Dennis lance both volgrens,is it euro 1 or 2? Favorite SBST buses-All volvo mk4's including sbs997/998 Volvo ble,Scania L94ub,Volvo olympian 96xx above,super olympian,Dennis trident & Mb0405g Volgren. Favorite TIBS buses-All except Nissan diesel's & MB0405g box hispano.
Superbus SG To avoid confusion. The Volvo DM3500-bodied is essentially an updated variant of the B10M Mark 4 chassis, with new engines. I would think the DM3500s, 96XX-series VOs, Tridents, the newer O405Gs and Lances conforms to the Euro-2 emission standards. Correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers and warm regards
carbikebus SG I got the same thinking about that too,Can someone confirm on that? Selamat hari raya haji especially to superbus,bus guide,yusry & others too.Enjoy your holiday!
