Cheers.
Yeah.That red desto at the top of the windscreen is the new amended one.All the SBST loop svcs which uses the extra desto at the front like 139,21,60 have changed to this method u said above.The above method is for buses with EDSes.The older buses still use the extra desto at the front.But they changed the colour on the destos a bit.
Originally posted by SBS9818A:either outside schedule or breakdown cameo. don't forget that timings can be regulated by OCC to ensure evened out frequency for 36 as town was crazily jammed even until 2400h last night.
most prob bah... but then again a lot of idle Scanias in depot, just strange out pops a non WAB...
i was at Orc sat nite... sooo many pple, total madness!
i saw the bus os Marine Parade CC[heading twds town] at 2031hrs, it return to Marine Parade Rd[before Marine Parade CC,CGA bound] at 2153hrs
but i also noticed since sv36 became FULL WAB, wkend's frequency has improved a bit... more regular at 11/12 mins interval...
Why dont the new Scanias bodied by Euro bodybuilder beside cost factor?I have taken new EEVs which mostly have strong shaken body that same as a 14 years old Scanias...

Because it is all about cost factor. All these chassis were brought during the financial crisis. Thus SBST and SMRT choose Gemilang.
But I wonder why SBST don't choose local Soon Chow instead...

Red plate = towards looping point
White plate = Back to int / ter

not all the time. 60 uses red plate towards eunos, white towards bedok.

the original order was for 100. placed in late 2006 or early 2007. decision made to increase the order by another 400 probably in late 2007. then another 400 in 2008, and 200 in 2009.

SBST annouce that they buy 500 KUB in Oct 2007 (which include the initial 100)....and when they buy the very 1st 100 KUB, there isnt any financial crisis yet..

u work in soon chow? Or work in gemilang? or u bought their products before? then why?
getting sick and tired seeing KUB with same interior ..
Y can SBS transit buy MAN or Mercedes Cito O520

Originally posted by chickenlittle2:

As a passenger, I have taken buses with either bodywork before. What do you think?
Originally posted by chickenlittle2:

Lol. Kinda hard imagining Jayh owns a Soon Chow/Germilang bus.
Originally posted by jayh272416:73 also. Direction 1 AMK to TPY uses the Red on top, White below format.
ya. both 60 and 73 are some services which the plate colours are not in line with direction due to historical reasons
60 towards eunos served bedok reservoir ring rd first before the direction towards bedok was amended to serve the ring road.
73 used to operate from toa payoh to serangoon north ave 5 (loop)
Originally posted by jayh272416:As a passenger, I have taken buses with either bodywork before. What do you think?
just thinking they are stereotypes comment. u should also consider the engine issues and not juz the bodywork.
Anyway i know y 8730A (BRBP 238) missing this past few days alr.Saw it last week being driven by the mechanic outside AMK Int.And guess wat as usual.The area behind the right front tyre was dented horribly and out of shape.It was dented until slightly just nearly below the window.I dunno wat happened yet this time to another kub =.=
All EDSes were showing 268 at that time i saw it O.O
I wonder with Saab closing down will it affect Scania the company that own Saab?
