This VSO FAILED ME! Sigh! Why? Perhaps today isn’t a Good Friday, but a ‘Bad’ Friday!

TIB1186Z SG

Well, at least it was a "Good" Friday for me. I had the best VSO trip yet for me today on SBS 9842 on 168 Very Happy

SBS 9846 T took me from Bedok to Woodlands Regional Interchange in less than 45 minutes. That was fast!

SBS9816E SG

Acutually I do agree that SBS9842D is a better VSO. It’s not as bad as the one on 9843B that we(HaoRui, Darryl, Me) took on 161 today.

Airbus330Captain SG

I enjoyed 9849K ride very much , hope you guys get a chance to ride on that .

tranquilice SG

As at today (21 April), 9837U is on Svc 25 and 9843B on Svc 161.

Airbus330Captain SG

Ohh yes , 9844Z was on bus 21 yesterday .

Airbus330Captain SG

Do you guys think there will be more VSOs on the roads ?

I do think so because the current number is definately not enough to cover all the retirements of LO 2 Axles buses . Like what the bus instructor has said they ordered 90 VSO buses , i think that is a big possibility now and if that is true , I can see the likes of 157 , not too sure about 166 getting VSO buses . I hope the west side will get more of the VSO buses through .

basically u guys could have closed the plug doors mannually and tell the driver not to use that door again. then he still cna continue driving that is if he knows how to disable the silly acc-lock thing.

i saw a driver of habit 61 do that before. stop the bus, press something at the door
manually pull the dorr in, then continued driving.

Think that's the release the air that is used to close the door when the buttons are pressed. Like at all terminals and interchanges, the drivers open and close the doors manually. This is exactly what we tried and play with at the depot.

It's hard to say. VSOs are currently transferred around, alot of times as back up buses.

Airbus330Captain SG

Ok let me say this , the VSO buses goes around sometimes and its hard to say whether that bus will be on that service everyday but this is PROBABLY the perm fleet of VSO .

VSO deployment on service 161, 05/05/2003:

SBS 9842 D
SBS 9843 B
SBS 9845 X

9843B and 9845X were back to back.

Here a question :

Everytime around 12.45pm there will be a VSO reaching Hougang Ctrl interchange. However, the bus will go off somewhere and come back to Hougang Ctrl ard 1.30pm. Anyone knows where the bus went and why?

Airbus330Captain SG

Probably went to depot for refilling of fuel before heading back to interchange . Hougang south depot i suspect because i saw the VSO from hougang south .

SBS9819Y SG

Just in case you are not aware..9800 was on 111 on Saturday! If I was not going out, I would have camped at my place for its next arrival! A nice desto with a nice rego!
