Some sidetrack,SMRT must buy DDs to allow them to ease traffic.All interchanges are DD friendly except for Yishun mahis not a must. they can survive without...

All 3 SMRT depots are not DD friendly...

KJ is DD friendly..

Just make sure that the bus dont go through the bus-wash machine. :P

To my observation compared SBS Transit to SMRT buses, I think that SBS Transit knows how to buy their buses although the SBST MB can last longer than Scania L113 ELBO. Normally before making a bus, the coachbuilders normally ask us to choose from Grade 1,2 & 3. If we choose grade 1,it will last long. Grade 3 won't last longer.

Actually, WLDEP and KJDEP was to move site when their lease terms end, so at that time they may built some DD friendly measures in them and DD in SMRT may be true at last

Folks

Please do note that the cost stated are of DEPECIATED value. Also, why some of the buses are much expensive is due to the currency converted from the country SBS bought from many moons ago...

882Y is definitely not voith!

OFF TOPIC:

The Voith MK IV DMs are SBS883U, SBS884S, SBS885P, SBS886L, SBS887J, SBS888G, SBS889D, SBS890Z, SBS891X, SBS892T, SBS893R, SBS895K, SBS903X, SBS904T, SBS906M.

Add 905R, 897E. And I believe there's more of them.

890Z is not a voith. And if I recall correctly, so isn't 895K.

And furthermore quite a number of these Voith MKIVs are 4 speed. So far confirmed ones include 886, 894, 903. From the slightly different performance afforded by these 4 speed MKIVs compared to the 3 speed ones, there's definitely more out there. The confirmed ones are the ones that showed that last gear at speed.

904 can also confirm is Voith. I boarded it not long ago.

That one Voith I also know lah.... Laughing

895K i take b4 from CGA to Tampines. surely not Voith. but the Voith MKIVs got 3-speed and 4-speed ar?

SBS2695H SG

895K i take b4 from CGA to Tampines. surely not Voith. but the Voith MKIVs got 3-speed and 4-speed ar?

Maybe the DM3500s have 4 speed and the Voith-ed MarkIV DMs have 3 speed?

16/f/lonely SG

895K i take b4 from CGA to Tampines. surely not Voith. but the Voith MKIVs got 3-speed and 4-speed ar?

Yep. Affirm that.

In fact I begin to even wonder if ALL the Voith MKIVs are actually 4 speed. The process of confirming the 4 speed ones is painstaking and after so many years I only found 3 confirmed ones!

16/f/lonely SG

Maybe the DM3500s have 4 speed and the Voith-ed MarkIV DMs have 3 speed?

Hello..................................................anybody home? Laughing

nenepokey SG

Maybe the DM3500s have 4 speed and the Voith-ed MarkIV DMs have 3 speed?

pls lar. DM3500s are powered with D863.3, a 3-speed gearbox. B9TL Voith are 4-speed, powered with D864.3.

another 4 speed: 905R.

or at least i think. was analysing the engine sounds when i took this bus on 27.

i notice it sound like TD102KF leh.. issit?

cos i noe 3 speed voiths like 892T when no NBS the low idle is like mk3, rough sounding. but when the bus move off the engine tone is deeper. for 4 speed like 905 when applied pbrake, the nbs cut off can hear that the idle is not so loud and rough asthe THD101GC on 892 and 3-speeder mk4's. also when the bus move off, it produce a similar noise to the ZF mk4's, in terms of engine noise la, not gearbox sounds.

I've noticed that too. But the loud noise seems to be caused by the radiator.

3 speed MKIVs generally display less torque than the 4 speed ones, but that is a rather inaccurate way of identifying them.

If the B9TL is resistent to its 2nd overdrive, the MKIV seems to be practically rejecting its 4th gear, hence the difficulty in trying to find these buses. Laughing
