PT21 SG More VOs 2 axle are seen on Jurong Industrial service. Service 249 just got their VOs. SBS 7226X, 7257G and 7258D are seen recently. The LOs are phrasing out soon. If you want to take the LOs, hurry up and there are lesser and lesser each day. By end of this year. I think it is going to disappear totally.
SBS9819Y SG What an irony! Someone here loves 3 axle LOs and 2 axle VOs but is indifferent towards the 3 axle VOs and 2 axle LOs!
SBS9818A SG No lah! Just gets a bit sick sometimes seeing 2-axle LOs especially in Jurong area. I prefer the refurbished ones as obviously they have their gearbox changed. When they switch gears the engine does not blip, something which I like(smooth!)
PT21 SG Why, because my feeder service 242 got 1 permanent superbus already. It is 9003J. But during peak hours it got 3 more superbus borrowed from service 179.
SBS9816E SG That's right. SBS 7258D is taken out from Sv 153. That is why I can't find this bus on Sv 153 anymore! Instead, it's on Sv 249.
SBS9816E SG Sheesh! There's something that I don't like about Allison gearbox. It somehow holds up the gear during the gear change. Yikes.
PT21 SG The LOs of service 179 are. SBS 9024Z SBS 9026T SBS 9049C SBS 9062M SBS 9065E SBS 9111E SBS 9128H SBS 9152L
tranquilice SG When will the JIS have partial air con? You see, services 182, 192 and 193 have air con buses but not the JIS. And 182, 192 and 193 are trunk services which charge ez-link fare up to $1.53 but the JIS charge up to $0.98. All of the services mentioned go to Jurong/Tuas industrial estates but have different fare system.
off_service SG I believe if resources and road permits, SBST may deploy LO 3 axles / VO 3 axles on JIS services and the demand for a double deck is there.
SBS9818A SG Ok, that's a lot! It's whole fleet is 2-axle and 3-axle LOs, right? SBST practises double standards in the way they charge fares, it's a major bone of contention for workers in Jurong area, especially Tuas.
tranquilice SG Deploying LO 3-axles or VO 3-axles is impossible, in my opinion. Otherwise, services 192 and 193 will have these buses now.
TIB1186Z SG Yeah....the 33 fare stages for the round trip from Boon Lay Int., Imagine the fares if its not industrial
SBS9818A SG Yah. That was crazy. I suppose the route was the first into Tuas, even then it winds through Pioneer area first!
