I suppose it could be that the dealership (STK) has not been active in promoting nor bringing in the bus products, preferring to focus on the trucks and mili...

Having werk under BNDEP as a BC b4 i dare say the maintenance are worse than SLBP.The DM3500s can sound like a MKII/IIIs.Terrible.Only a handful of the VOs are good.My fav depots are BBDEP/HGDEP/AMDEP & BRBP for SBST,While WLDEP & KJDEP for SMRT

Some BBDEP Striders are horrid.

yar...the DM3500 ar...especially 2754. recently cameo 39, i go take. wtfh! so noisy! 2776 not even that noisy leh...

But their 2831 and 2723 are nice. My favourite 9581 also very nice. But their DM3500s in general don't seem that bad. And I must say that BN's best buses are the Mark IIIs. But I must agree that their Scania N113CRB's are really horrible.

Another thing unique thing about BN will be their famous marker pen that writes the perm status on buses, while other depots use a sticker. And it's most of the time outdated. SBS44A is currently perm 32, formerly perm 33, but marker pen not updated. It says "33". Not to forget their favourite mahjong game.

Which depot doesnt do mahjong? It just happens that they have more SD models than other depot.

The two 9378Cs take until laughing all the way.

But their mantainance (Or the lack of it) does produce some unique buses if you look at another point of view.
EG:
MK IV DM with Refurb seats (while AMDEP also has done this)
Skyliner buses with "Extension Tree Branch".
And werid sounding buses. EG:3663T 3661Z 3642D (Dennis Dragon) 1985C etc etc...
And the famous masking tape that is fixed to anywhere that needs to be held together.
(Even on brand new KUBs) And is left there... now already at least a month. The tape is still there.
Bus badges that are falling off halfway.
And finally all sort of labels all over the place. Even to label Crack as a crack.

ive seen those. there was one CAC 113CRB with a scania badge going vertical~ nuff said.

Can you please just stop repeating "mahjong" "mahjong"? It is very irritating.

Get used to bndep style of not updating the status in the buses. You want to see many cancellations all over? They don't remove the marks written using thinner, they just cancel.

Yea.. Agreed to what u said down here. Mahjong is a name of a game and also not to describe the way depot deploy the buses. In any way, you all like me to sae "HGDEP is playing its usual UNO game?" -_-"'

sBs_boy SG

Wait till u see SLBP or even BBDep..

You have a VO which is perm on 61 currently.

Cancel......just to check, the Tridents use markers also right?

when i saw this bus on another forum [forgot the name], they said had an interior almost similar to KUBs. but there are 5 low seats infront, and leg space is big. will this bus be a little longer to KUBs comparing to its length ?

alleggerita SG

A simple qns here, how did the trial went? Is SBST impressed and are they gonna order it?

SBS n SMRT SG

"no" , scrabble sounds nicer.lol

I quite agree with you. I can compare BN with KJ, but I dont know which is worse.......

^tamago^ SG

yes, more leg space, at the wheelchair standee area and also wider legroom for the seats behind, with a wider aisle. basically that is possible due to a smaller wheel housing and an excellent chassis product. (:

Not out yet? I thought it is a demonstrator?

sinicker SG
