  and it was a double decker SUPER NEW dunno wat model VOLVO. the seats inside were pastel orange in colour and was like... er how to say, like two seperate seats joined together.
  
  and when we were all lining up from upstairs to get off the bus (was quite crowded) the display at the stairs was beeping and saying "do not stand on stairs" or something like that.
  
  the beeps weren't that loud.. so wasn't too irritating.
  
  didn't manage to get a pic of it even tho i had my cam with me... i was in a rush.
  
  so is this one of the better busses that's hit our shores?

  It's called Volvo Super Olympian. They are registered in the range from 9800 to 9845 and 9888.
  
  Yes, most of the buses start operating on our roads this year. You can go to the Singapore Buses forum for more information.

  Notice that the front (headlights area) has a purple wavelike livery which other types of buses didn't have. And the exit doors are very near the middle.

  The leg-room is still the same. Take the double decker Volvo Olympian if you want more leg-room.

  But the smell will be gone after a period of time.
  
  Remember when those new Kawasaki MRT trains first served passengers, there was this very bad smell in all those trains, which I will avoid to board.
