VSO! My favourite VSO! Currently VSOs are on a few svcs which are serving the eastern part of Singapore. Do you think SBST is bias or what?

Airbus330Captain SG

No , not bias because I see them in my area everyday . Wink

I do think that it's purely coincidental that all the buses that need VSOs are operating along the eastern corridor. Consider service 56, is it operating in the eastern side?

SBS9816E SG

Hmm that's an exception though.

SBS9818A SG

I have this feeling Sv. 56 is a one-off, like Sv. 143, as the driver of SBs 9804P(when it was for driver training) told me Sv. 55 would have VSOs, but where are they?

Airbus330Captain SG

I dont agree , 56 will have VSO because i saw 56 sticker just above the driver's window but they may have fewer VSO in the future . 143 will have VSO , the reason why all VSO buses were pulled out of 143 fleet is because of the advertisment thing . Once those advertisment on the current LO buses expired , they will make way for VSO buses . Which ones ? I have no idea.

any where will the leylands go? u think 74 will have VSOs?

off_service SG

Service 74 won't have VSO, unless VSOs are stationed in Hougang Depot. Further more, Tridents sometimes are deployed on this service.

Airbus330Captain SG

Actually they might have VSO . 9800A is the only VSO bus based at Hougang south depot so far .

Airbus330Captain SG

Ok lets have a VSO list .

9800A - different bus service every day .
9801-9807 --- Bus 28
9808-9810 -- Bus 76
9811-9815 -- Bus 21
9816-9819 -- Bus 56
9820-9829 except for 9827 -- Bus 25
9827 -- ???? No idea where is that bus
9830-9831 -- Bus 31
9832-9834 -- Bus 72
9835 -9849 -- Not out on the roads yet .

SBS9816E SG

9827 seems to be vanished in the thin air. I couldn't see this bus anywhere.

SBS9819Y SG

I didn't know that until you guys said abt it. Really weird. Maybe it's based in a East District depot or somewhere else, just like 9835 and above?

Airbus330Captain SG

Ok guys , I took 9827 today !! The bus is on bus 25 . bus 25 has 10 VSO buses . 9820 to 9829 . I suspect some of them will transfer to either 22 or 143 .

SBS9818A SG

Wait wait, SBS 9815H is CONFIRMED on Sv. 56. 5 VSOs are on Sv. 56, SBS 9815H to SBS 9819Y.

Airbus330Captain SG

Ok , no wonder i cant find 9815 !!! I should look for 9815 one of these days .

Thanks Darryl .

SBS9816E SG

SBS 9829T, which is servicing on Svc 25, serves Svc 31 today! I thought that SBS 9829T is an AMK Depot bus?? Or is it a Braddell Depot Bus?

off_service SG

Today I was on a MB O405 of Tibs service 857. When it is going into the PIE (towards CTE), a service 31 VSO roars past the bus. As the engine is really loud, many people in the bus turned to look at the bus. One conclusion: VSO is NOT underpower.
