Isuzu coach / ? bodywork
New Lantau Bus (NLB) Svc 23
the coach we took up the lantau hillside to go to the big Buddha. today u wd probably sit the MTR's cable car Nghom Peng 360 up and not take this thing up.

Its a Isuzu LT133 with China Kong body work. And I got a B7R (manual) up and down for 23. I would rather take 23 instead of Ngong Ping 360 if there is a MAN A91.

Scania SG

Is that a Mitsubishi Rosa with Mitsubishi body? This body type of the bus is common in Singapore. We can spot the buses in the SMRT's Busplus..

Yes its a Rosa.

XiaoTaro SG

If you do look carefully at the fleet number above the front wheel, it says 5XXX, which means that its a B10TL. ALX 500 Tridents are in the 1XXX range.

That's correct. Another easier way to identify is by the dress rims. The volvos share the same rims as the oc500le here, which the tridents/enviro500s do not.

Volvo Olympian SG

Is that a Mitsubishi Rosa with Mitsubishi body? This body type of the bus is common in Singapore. We can spot the buses in the SMRT's Busplus..

But in that picture the Rosa has 2 doors whereas SMRT Busplus and others only have 1 door..

Chuo Bus means Central bus, orginates from japan Central islands. (means tokyo and stuffs)

Central referring to Central Hokkaido region... =.= Tokyo is way too far out!

SBS7484P SG

Over this Aug i will post some of my Korea and Johore n malaysia elsewhere pics here as well..

korea is nth much.. its pretty much juz daewoos and kia and hyundai. but they seem to have a substantial number of CNG hyundai buses, (called NGV natural gas vehicle). the NGV;'s look very much like volvo B10BLE, also sound very much like them too.are they actually re-badge B10BLE?

ZYX2005 SG

agree. however i've only sat Daewoo CNg bus. and yesh it sounds like one of them b10BLE.

Doubt is "repackaged as u say". Daewoo is home grown brand. more remodelled after jap buses i think.

As for coach, Hyundai is very smooth n low toned soft. a bit of scania tone.

The Kia granbird coach sounds like a loud MAN.

Ignore the pedestrians. Anyhow
Some Hino AK thing / Hicom DRb bodywork
Maju Svc 221

Mercedes Benz CBC1725 in Liannex Bodywork
Causway link (CW) Svc 6B
Thee B stands for going to JB svc. (Bandaraya)
Note: This front design is essentially copied from the Mercedes Benz integrated bodywork Trevago for coaches in germany. Essentially Since this is a Merc, i have no issue calling the bus a Trevago as well. lol

Hino AK bus / Gemilang
Bdowyork not verified...
Maju Svc 226

ZYX2005 SG

Some Hino in what looks suspiciuosly like a volgren old school bodywork.
Cant say for sure.
Triton Svc 502

Thats more like it. A merc 3 point star. looks more trevago.
Mercedes benz CBC1725 / Liannex
Forgot to metion that this Liannex style is for newer buses.
Causeway link Svc 7B

Yipee a MAN
MAN SL252 / Hicom DRB
CW Svc 1B
Incidentally i believe this bus came from KL's former bus co Intra Kota....

Changed location to "near bike shop along costal rd"

Daewooo B??0?? / >>???? bodywork
We hear the bodywork is of Australian origin...
Triton Svc 501A

ZYX2005 SG

MAN 18.250 ?? / Hicom DRB
???? Svc CT1
Essentailly a tourist style bus for a tourist svc...

Hino AK / SKS
Maju Svc "To JB"
Essentially i find the bus looking very much like our current Soon Chow bodywork for coaches..who copy who?

Mercedes benz O.405 / Hicom DRB (older one)
City bus Svc 41
Bus comes with ZF transmission. so sounds like the SMRT O.405s. Madnes lah the doors..

ZYX2005 SG

??? / Soon Chow
Singapore johore Express (SJE)

Denis Lance / Duple-Metsec
Triton Svc 503
Essentially there is a reason why we refer to some Dennis lance of SMRT as "Malaysian Lances"... lol. they look e same.
In this case the doors wd be different from the many SMRTbuses "Malsyaisn lance"
However, PA644 and PA669 have these exact same doors. True blue malaysian lances. Porbably even from same chassis batch.

ZYX2005 SG

We shift over to the roadside terminus right in the heart of the Johore bahru town area

This Dennis Lance on Triton Svc 503 just made its turn to the "layover berths" of the roadside terminal. Essentially any very big major town in malaysia, you will find this kind of in the city by the road layover and jam the place up operations. Eg: KL, penang and JB

This CW Svc 7B "trevago" has some panel damage from hitting the kerb making this turn on its previuos trip perhaps. Note the scrapped kern surface..ouch..Buah (rub) by undercarriage of buses making sharp turns

yipee another MAN. This time a Causeway Link MAn bus in Liannex bodywork. very common on corss border svc CW1 this model. Comes with Voith transmissions like most MAns.

This CW service 7B Mercedes benz "trevago" contributes paint chips to the rubbed area and mounts the kerb to complete the dramatic turn

.
MAn 18.250 / Hicom DRB
CW Svc 1B

ZYX2005 SG

Dennis Dart / Duple Metsec
Triton Svc 503
midi bus...short bus

A rare find. A Scania city bus in JB! / Hicom bodywork
I suspect its a L93CRl. Much like the KL's citybus Scania (pics in mid-aug )

Offside view of the Scania. A ride on it reveals that its much like the KL Scania citybus. Wth Zf4HP500 transmission.

A Dennis dart goes off and spew black smoke..koff koff and some guy on right reviewing his pics... with that we end this series..koff koff..

And some random shots...

XiaoTaro SG

These are just the tip of the ice berg. Theres so much different models that u'll simply go stumped identifying it.

Also, just in case anyone is interested, most of the vehicles uses Allison transmissions. I wonder why...

bus555 SG

The city bus Scania bus door is weird seh!
