[SBST] Memory Lane - Cross Border 160/170 Volvo B10M MKIV DM3500

Maxson Goh Films the good days when a fleet of Volvo B10M MKIV Duple Metsec DM3500 equipped with Voith DIWA 863.3 gearbox. Now, the newer and frankly, rather horrid Scania K230UB Gemilang buses have taken over the entire fleet. Lets visit the good days when there were actually good buses on Cross Border 160 and 170.

This was my favourite/childhood SBST bus to ride. But it due to the fact I lived in Bukit Panjang area, it was quite rare since there were little few SBST operating there. Apparently I saw it on 170 but we only take 170 when going on holidays. And probably the last Strider/DM3500 I spotted was on 2013. Quite young back then. I will never forget these memories of spotting the legendary old Volvo B10Ms

[@SMRTBusesandtrains]

They had nice engine sound and if they were still around, I can share about them with the next generation

[@shesuqin9839]

I would fire him immediately

When the desto is upside down, it means that the bus is off service.

The 170 bus was originally No.1 of the now-defunct Green Bus. It became 170 in 1971 after UBC and later on SBS took over the same route.

[@razzrul5838]

This bus gave me alot of memories 😂😂 going in and out of JB and to accidentally vomited inside the bus at the busstop near the old sheng siong market beside woodlands train checkpoint

[@terrenceishere4215]

Well I had to vomit at the Sheng siong at chong pang

Volvo B10M MKIV replaced by Scania K230UB E4 in 2014. Scania K230UB E4 replaced by MAN A22 E5, MAN A22 E6, Citaros in 2022. Interesting to see different types of buses being use for cross border services now, especially with lta/sbs using newer buses like MAN A22 E6. Many thought sbs & lta would have choosen the Euro V KUB but i guess their lifespan isnt far off from the Euro IV. Looking forward for those debuts though😁

[@cheezixiang6887]

3:00

[@tib1243sstudios]

2 bus models now have gone into History on these cross borders. First the Legendary B10Ms and now the Scania K230UB Euro 4s. The current fleet of 170/160 are MAN A22s and Citaros.

[@glitchFan2428]

Time sure does fly

[@dennisyeo]

[@AridChannelOfficialSG]

Remember when everybody hated the K230UBs that replaced the Volvo Marks? Now that K230UB is no longer serving cross border people miss it

[@alexleo172]

Now replaced with scratched up KUBs & Citaros (Citaros aren't even scratched up but you get the point)

[@llobak]

Sadly I didn’t get the chance to ride these buses, but they look very nice! I miss the older generation of buses 😢

[@glitchFan2428]

Yeah same, they were a lot more comfortable, more seats, sounded way better, the list goes on

[@Spi08dey]

Miss them so much.. but now I've seen those buses being used by service 159... not all of them but some

[@glitchFan2428]

These buses are still around, however they are not operating to Malaysia anymore.

[@ljd2004]

Before 2014- Volvo B10M 2014- 2022- Scania Kub E4 2022- ??? As of today, a total of 11 kubs on 170 were redrawn and is awaiting to be de registered. Tbh i am surprised, why did sbs/lta decided to redrawn 11 buses? I also wonder what buses will take over. Citaros? Also i regreted hating the kubs, their a lot better than electric buses. I had thought we still had a lot of time till 2024(e4 lifespan ends then) but many are already been de registered already. Looks like time is running out for the rest of them. Recently Ulu Pandan Depot took in a huge number of sg plated citaros, i wonder why🤔

[@user-oj4xm6by5b]

The new buses on cross-border services are the MB Citaros, some MAN A22 E5 and E6. Electric buses could be next.

[@memegamer8002]

170A no need passport

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

Do you need a passport to ride these buses?

[@glitchFan2428]

for the Singapore sector no passport is needed, only the cross border sectors then a passport is required

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

I heard before the September 11th attacks happened, people were free to drive across the US/Canada border without a passport. You just need to show your drivers licence, that's all. I wonder if the same thing applied to the Singapore/Malaysia border before 9/11.

[@ineedjisoos]

If you are travelling Between Singaopore u dont need a passport, the last stop before it reaches checkpoint is Block 1A . If ur going to malaysia,you need a passport even though ur on this bus

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

[@charlesmoeller6667]

I liked the B10Ms, but what was so great about them?

[@glitchFan2428]

Personally to me it's because they were the buses I grew up with. I believe a the greatness of a bus stems heavily from one's personal connection with it. Reliability wise from what I observed they don't break down as often as modern buses. This is merely my observation and might not reflect the actual reliability accurately.

[@charlesmoeller6667]

@@glitchFan2428 Makes sense, I felt this way about my hometown's buses in Seattle, WA when the last fully diesel buses were retired from service. Re "it not reflect actual reliability": This I can assure you of because I have studied psychology and people do respond to perception rather than reality, and considering that we often want to return to our childhood when we have stresses of real life, I can feel you.
