  Scania does not own Saab. They've been spilt in the 1990s, and Saab was sold to GM. Scania, on the other hand, is owned by a number of investors, of which Volkswagen and MAN (which itself is partially owned by Volkswagen), are the biggest shareholders.

  just thinking they are stereotypes comment. u should also consider the engine issues and not juz the bodywork.

  Maintenance is a very important segment also.

  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)

  
  Erm if I can recall correctly, 73 used same format as now when it was operating between TPY and YCK, which is before it amended to loop at S'goon Nth Ave 4.

  Cheers.

  Heard frm the maintenance guys and some suppliers. The workmanship is quite good.

  Maintenance is impt but it should rattle when the bus is just few days old like an example raised by merczrox. We do know the engine habit.

  If Scania own by MAN and Volkswagen then the MAN bus sbs is tesing should have no problem. Consider the number of MAN trucks and buses appear on the road don't forget our amry turck. SBS should get this MAN bus.

  Please justify why there would be no problem for SBST to buy the MAN simply because MAN & Scania are both owned by Volkswagen?
