Problem: they are not perms... yet.

I will rejoice when Dennis Tridents become permers on route 161, so my dream of Dennis Tridents at Woodlands Interchange will become a regular reality.

Also, I'm quite surprised that they are not putting any Scania KUB buses on routes 161 and 168 yet - at least on a more often or regular basis.

You can have them all you like.

And you can roast and bounce along the expressway at 55-60km/h (no faster) if you want as bonus.

If I had to choose between the VSO and Trident in the AM/HG days, I would have happily picked the former anyday anytime. The Trident isn't as much fast than the VSO as people often make it out to be. And the suspension is just plain horrible. (too soft).

Only thing cute about the Trident would be the single side-facing seat on the upper deck. Yes. I liked that seat. Can put hand on top of the fire extinguisher compartment.

SMB137A EDS reformatted to the OC version!!!

haha yea. seems to have just reformatted.

though when the front shows "OFF SERVICE", the rear EDS shows "001" , which seems to be the version data number (my guess)

is waiting to see if all the other SMRT Mobitec-equipped buses are gonna get this reformat.

Hmm I guess probably not, from my observation that all the WAB buses display their service number on the right, whereas all (or most - are there exceptions?) the non-WAB buses display their service number on the left, whether these buses have new Mobitec/Lawo EDS or still using the old ones.

This can probably allow people to easily differentiate between the WAB and non-WAB buses from afar ...
