SBS Transit : Tail Light refurbishments

SBS Transit is currently in the process of refurbishing their older fleet's tail lights to newer ones similar to the Volvo Super Olympian's tail lights.

Old tail light set.

The new tail light set features a slightly bigger signal indicator and integrating the reflective safety strip into the set.

A comparison between the old set and the new set.

There are some buses like SBS9428S (pictured above) having only one set of tail light refurbished, with the other likely being replaced soon. Majority of the buses are expected to recieve this refurbishment.

This new set of lights are more prominent and easier to see, enhancing safety for the traffic behind.

For the diverted buses, some found themselves stuck in jams lasting nearly half and hour and resulted in sudden outside schedule cameos slotted in. The diversion will last till this Sunday (27 September 2010).

Jurong East Modification Project - Phase 2 [Jurong East - Bukit Batok]

This week's MRT disruption sees the train connection between Jurong East and Bukit Batok temporarily stopped for Jurong East Modification Project.

Instead of a full bendy fleet, rigid buses were also used for the fleet. This was due to the average demand on the shuttles which resulted in some empty bendies running two weeks back.

Rigids were used to supplement the bendy fleet

While the usual fleet used two weeks back are used again.

The shuttle route follows SBS Transit's Express 506's routing, instead of a more shorter and more direct route that runs parallel to the tracks between Jurong East and Bukit Batok Interchange. This second phase of train disruption also marks the end of the disruptions for Jurong East Modification Project.
