What is the logo used on the O405 Hispano doors? I remember seeing the Bode logo on a Hispano Mk2 bendy. By the way Masats have a relationship with Bode until 2003, and some of the parts may be interchangable for older doors.

By the way Citaro doors are also manufactured by Bode.

All Hispano O405 and O405G buses are fitted with Bode doors.

All Volgren O405 and O405G buses are fitted with SMC Transit doors.

Yay, you finally found out the company whuich manufactures the doors! And yes, you are right. The Bode logo is the same as those on the Hispano O405s. Ever saw TIB1143Y with a Masats logo on the front door... So this explains why the components of the MAN NL323F Masats doors are so similar to that on the O405 doors! Anyway, what I mean is that TIB449Y has this round bonnet thing at the top of the door and it is connected to the top door arm by a long line... No Masats logo...

Gus.chong SG

I had observed some bendies and noticed that many side covers are sealed with a rectangular sticker associated with the Singapore Police Force each...can someone clear my doubts as to what is that and what's the purpose of it?

TIB1234T SG

These are the buses chartered for Airshow Shuttle.. They had to undergo checks and stickered with those tapes as proof...

Vicknaa SG

I'm new here but I hve always been fascinated by buses in Singapore. I hve a general observation to make. While there is a lot of talk about services, there are some general things I find bothersome. For eg, bus drivers are taught to come close to the kerb to allow ease of boarding, but the angle they tend to come in at places the back door further away from the kerb resulting in pple having to take big steps, jump or get dwn on the road which sort of defeats the purpose I feel. Also with today's hydro-pneumatic no step buses, the height between the bus and the road can quite high. Not very friendly is it. Any comments?

azharjj SG

to add on, 3095H, 3207C & 7592M also have the rear fan attachments

2. Were the suspension of these buses you observed raised at a higher than usual position?

carbikebus SG
