[b]BBDEP, BB services[/b]
-
I do not know what to put on the heading but datz wat it is about.
With the recent termination of services from the Mk2, i realised that BBDEP have replaced these models wif Mk2/3 and even VO3x.
Talking about VO3x, does anybody noe watz da rego for da V03x which did a cameo on 285? It was a very rare sight but too bad....dunno da rego..happened 2 wks ago..[/b] -
Also, wat buses used to serve bb during 1985 to 1999?
-
Also, can anybody tell me the history of service 61?
I knew it once plied Ulu Pandan to MacPherson....When did the changes happen? -
And wat happened to all the VO3x which once served Service 61 like SBS 9222T, 9223,9224,9225,9226,9227? I noe dat 9221X is now a perm on service 65...n i once saw 9222T on service 87.....wat happened to them...?
Anybody got the answers?....Please......?
-
I noticed that the buses in BB do not return to their depot after they finish services at 0100hrs....is it a common practice for buses not to return to their depot? I noticed this at 0245hrs in service NR8.. anybody care to explain?.....please...

Daf once served svc 173 and met with an accident at clementi int. It was
TIB 700X....ryte? I last saw it with MB0405 front as a replacement....anybody got a pic of her? Wat service is she serving now? i last saw it on 172....help... -

it was merely extended to bt batok and eunos eventually. the changes took place in the late 80's. sort of merged with withdrawn 122.Originally posted by muziq bus:Also, can anybody tell me the history of service 61?

take note, the buses parked in Bt Batok Int belongs to SMRT Buses. and SMRTB does not have a depot in Bt Batok; only SBST has.Originally posted by muziq bus:I noticed that the buses in BB do not return to their depot after they finish services at 0100hrs....is it a common practice for buses not to return to their depot?

the overnight parking in Bt Batok is a long-known fact. Bt Batok Int is majority controlled by SMRTB Kranji Depot. other places where overnight parking at interchanges are:
- Bedok (SBST BNDEP)
- Tampines (SBST BNDEP)
- Pasir Ris (SBST BNDEP)
- Yishun (SMRTB AMDEP) -
Fyi, DAFs were removed from Svc 173 as it is not suited for climbing the slopes at Toh Tuck Rd. Thus, only O.405's are now deployed on Svc 173.Originally posted by muziq bus:Daf once served svc 173 and met with an accident at clementi int. It was

Same goes for Sixth Ave for Svcs 77 & 970, where only O.405 and Scania L113CRLs are used. -

I think why service 122 was shortened was due to the extension of service 61 to Bukit Batok.

I ever took 122 from Clementi Rd (Opp Blk 352) to River Valley Rd back in 1991. When it was shortened a year later, the stretch of C'wealth Ave West between Dover Ave and Ghim Moh was left with only 2 bus routes.Originally posted by tranquilice:When service 122 was shortened from Bukit Batok to Buona Vista, it plied Alexandra Rd and River Valley Rd.
