Replacements for 0408 / 0412 in 269 are most likely to be 3812E / 3841X.

3812E is confirm perm Sv 269 with perm sticker.

bad news to those who love SBST mercs. i saw 1 OAC towed to Sg Kadut Industrial Est yesterday afternoon. Has no rego plate n some body parts were taken off alr. 

AMDEP remove quite a number of the laid up MBO405 the past few days to clear up their space. There are roughly around 25-30 laid up Merc in AMDEP.

My guess: Convert into bi-directional service (Green/White plate), ply Lor 7 bi-directional.

my guess too. this will ease a little bit of the load for Sv 238 .

That row is the famous Laid Up/New Buses corner. If not how would lemon1974 spot them regularly?

:). i pass by there every weekday to send my child to childcare centre. and to Merczrox, that building is Toshiba building, not Phillips.

I believe 0408J 0412X should be awaiting lay-up now. Think those BRBP buses that were removed from their perm services also awaiting lay-up?

Any idea for 0417H and 0429Z...?

0408J was actually repainted less than one month back.. these few days sv 269 got a lot of cameo buses...

I realised those buses that have their lifespan extended are those 39XX. That's expected because they are registered later than their peers. I really hope to hear of more 37XX or 38XX having their lifespan extended too... Some are really good... be it engine or asthetics.

if the 37xx and 38xx series liftspan are not extended, then why are you still seeing them on the roads?

Agreed.They should make all bus stops as WAB friendly status unless it is impossible for it to be. If they are making Singapore into a WAB/ accessible state, there'll be adjustments here and there in the future, such as making new bus stops to replace the bus stops that are not WAB accessible nearer to the original location.

ps if i sound confusing lol.

agree. but they (LTA) just want to follow their stupid rules and guidelines. Til get more complains or the big big boss say so..then they might consider to make all bus stops WAB friendly status.  maybe write to the transport minister loh.. Like mention before, there are confusion whether bus stops are WAB accessible, if you refer to the WAB section of SBST website... Certain bus stop are accessible to one service, but not another service on the same route?
also, understand that LTA is going to retrofit /rebuild all those bus stops which is not WAB accessible. By then, i think it might be 2015..

dun ask for timings. Wait the buses never appear, you blame ppl again. Just wait at the interchange for 2 hours. u will see all buses of Sv 975.

sbs2625 on Sv 70 --> Should be perm.
SBS9425 on Sv 166 --> perm? cant see clearly the perm sticker.

To everyone who has plan of taking SBS8030L on 157 might as well just forget about it.i heard that SBS8030L will depart Boon Lay Int at 3:46pm.so i and scania N113CRB lov3r waited at Boon Lay Int.guess what.the bus didnt even depart at all.then at around 4:15pm,SBS8030L went off svc back.we wasted so much time waiting for it because the info given to us was that it would depart Boon Lay at 3:46pm.and it went off svc at 4:15pm.wtf man.

timing are provided out of goodwill. There is no guarantee bus will stay on that slot or appear. Bus might breakdown or being deployed on another service. Dun blame other for providing wrong timing. If not, you can camp at the interchange for 3 1/2 hrs next time instead of relying on timing giving by other.

btw, SLBP did not remove the WAB logo on 8030L. wait get complain again.

SBS8074K now have yellow poles at the entrance after the repair.

I would say that SBST has improved on their Cutomer Service standards.

I made a complaint recently and the problem was rectified within an hour. I found that the SBST staff were efficient and swift in dealing with the situation and would like to commend them and also to share it with you guys.

I was onboard SBS9835A on Service 31 from Geylang Rd to Toa Payoh Int.

The bus was stuffy on the upper deck and there was close to no aircon at all. Immediately, i called CRO at 1800 2872727 to report the matter and when the bus reached Toa Payoh Int, it was put out of service and replaced with SBS 9141T. (AMDEP SP) and to top it off, they gave me 2 complimentary tickets as reimbursement or more like service recovery for the unpleasant ride which they took the effort to resolve the problem and would like to applaud them for their efforts

 

should post this without mentioning getting complimentary tickets. Some OTHER ppl will be very  desperate to send complain letter or call SBST to complain over small things, just to get the complimentary tickets.

does it go back to being a 63 permer?

most likely , cos not much service it can be deployed on as it is batch 1. wasted 3 months parking in AMDEP after accident and then took almost 2 months to repair it. The bus have been undergoing road test in AMDEP for the past one week. Think they have restickered back the EUro IV bus ad back to the BC cabin portion as well.

thanks.

SBS8119/8123 of Sv 268 both spotted with the WAB sticker hook, but no WAB sticker.. signs that Sv 268 become WAB service soon? or maybe AMDEP will just put the hook on every KUB it have?

SBS293Y
(AMDEP 268  AMDEP SP).. so fast become SP again
SBS3875Z
