SBS Transit orders 900 buses from Scania (Part 1)

Oceane SG

Is 174 going to have a full Scania fleet. Evil or Very Mad

chickenlittle2 SG

Still got mercz la.. Need more Scania to be a WAB svcs.. I would not be suprise if B9TL is deployed over to Svc 174..

chickenlittle2 SG

Btw, I think nt all the new Scania timing are displayed on iris.. Sometimes these bus just come in between when actually the nextbus still display “next bus arriving at 5 mins..”

SBS9888Y SG

the thing thats bad is that the capacity of the K230 isnt adequately met for svc 174 as it has a demanding load..often see K230s opp park mall toward boon lay with ppl squashed to the max packed all the way to the door with more ppl outside waiting for the next one..i think all should perm 174e.. although im ain quite sure if 174e has a high load or not..

1713 used coolair Laughing many private buses still use coolair..1713 ac no power de

sbst275 SG

Very likely the new gen of SDs are like that, not many seats available

I suppose most buses should go DD if possible

ZYX2005 SG

174e should leave it to the Mercs and maybe DM3500 because they have more seats. Otherwise, if Scanias operate, many people would have to stand all the way!

BTW, isn't there supposed to be a standing area at the back of the bus to get people to move to the rear? I don't notice this at all.

chickenlittle2 SG

It seems like making people not to climb the steps up for standing and cos over pack..

Zilchster SG

Eventually the merc will be retired. Unless DM3500 or the Volvo MK4s replace the Merc otherwise sooner or later new buses with less seats will be deployed on Svc 174.

There's always a trade off here and there.

service_238 SG

SBS 8033 D has the new seating arrangement.

XiaoTaro SG

Anyone notice the horns on the Scanias?

Sounds like those very powerful horns used in M'sia coaches... dam loud!

Kheng Peng SG

so until now are there any K230UBs with an ad on it?

Volvo Olympian SG

Nope

carbikebus SG

I dun think many peeps will take to far end.Senior Citizens made it looks so packed usually

201911 SG

+1. but the few seats on the K230UB is so that theres more standee area (when theres no PIW on board)so that the bus can fetch more people. but this wouldnt work well if people refuse too move in, then the front is overcrowded while the back got space.

SBS3625D SG

I feel shouldn’t get a whole fleet of WABs. WABs should be more of a bonus in the majority.

SBS9888Y SG

its only a month.. Laughing even the B9TLs and B10TLs didnt get ads so quickly excluding Together We Go Further ad by SBS Transit which was showcasing public buses now being able to accomodate PIWs

bus555 SG

Do you think Service 139 would be the net to have Scania K230UB because 139 passes through old people area like Whampoa and Redhill..? Wink

sbs&tibs SG

This service is still possible. Don't bother to speculate now. Just wait and see. Laughing
