hmm i was referring to the interior fittings, the green aircon ducts and the green walls. Seems like they got from the same supplier.They should be a differe...

There are many different types of bodyworks on the buses, from the good old Alexander PS design to the modern looking Gemilang bodywork. And each bodywork's design seems to speak a story for itself, e.g. the Hispano Habit -> modern and timeless, the CDGE B9 bodywork which sets it apart from the other double decker bodyworks in Singapore with a one piece glass windscreen and a smiley at the headlight bumper area.

With the exterior looks, the interior looks of the buses is defintely a factor to let the passengers enjoy the ride. The Hispano Habit is one nice example with the pastel blue interior and bright orange grabpoles with Volgelsitzes for a comfortable (although dusty) ride.

So this thread is for the discussions and views of the bus bodyworks and the interior design that comes with it. Of course, it's not limited to just SG buses but to overseas buses. Maybe can see a Wright bodyworked K230UB one day

(keep the discussions civil :) thanks)

Able to maximise the interior space usage while making it aesthetically beautiful seems to be the aim of some bodywork manufacturers. Wright is one very good example, having about the same seating numbers, they also managed to install panels inside to induce a cosy feeling. The colors used on the 2006 batch of AVBWs in Hong Kong further enhanced the warm feeling. Definitely its one of the citybuses that I took that gives a coach feeling...

Upper deck, AVBW20/MG4804.

Though a feature of many modern double deck citybuses, the straight staircases on them do occupy more space than a older bus of the same class.

I find that CDGE copies some ideas from Wright. Like the single piece windscreen for DDs.

Just an incident. There was this elderly sitting down on a Scania K230UB next to me. She then exclaimed in Chinese saying that the cushion of the seat is too thin.
