SBS Transit Volvo B9TLs Wrights featured on Today's Straits
Times, Home page B5. 
Double deckers with curves and style.
Noticed anything different about SBS Transit's double decker
buses?
For nearly two months, 11 new vehicles with new distinctive
oval-shaped front and back windscreens have been on the roads.
The bodywork of the Volvo buses is made by Wrightbus, a Bristish
manufacturer renowed for its aesthetic designs, said SBS
Transit.
"They have more stylish interior and are more curvy rather than
boxy in design," said Ms Tammy Tan, senior vice president of
corporate communications.
The wheelchair friendly buses are used on services 60, 174 and
185.
With a capacity of 131 passengers, they carry a similar number
of passengers as other double decker models.
More are being delivered, which will be used on other bus
routes.
They are among the 450 double deckers ordered by the company
over the last two years. They will all be delivered by 2012.
The 450 buses have engines which are compliant with EURO V, an
emission standard adhered to vehciles sold in the European
Union.
In 2006, SBS Transit started using wheelchair acessible
ones.
SBS7511Y is featured in the picture. Woo hoo, Singapore's pride.
I doubt those living in areas like Pasir Ris, Tampines, Bishan,
Ang Mo Kio have not seen the Wrights.... Funny, why up to now still
no Wrights in AMDEP? Exception case for 7500D.
