SBS Transit orders 900 buses from Scania (Part 1)

ZYX2005 SG

aahhh u discovered one of the special different interior mercs

lets summarize the mercs again

SBS293 (bus 26 Cool : Side duple metsec band fixtures are white colour unlike grey and red like most bus. does not have standee space. air-con ducting i forgot leow . think is the normal refurb red.

SBS436 (bus 26 Cool : has chrome window sidings. rest on it u go cold. ahhahaha cuz metal cold to touch . the air-con refurb into grey panel one. got the Mercedes star logo on the air-con eye ball. very cool.bus has Tv mobile. odd one out in the 4xx series

SBS310: this one seldom do revenue service. but it has ez link readers. got do 130 recently before.
this one usually do museum express. this bus has the original merc inside look. not touch by refurbishment exercise. think they got built standing space le. this means the air-con panel is blue color de and i hope they still got the grey seats with blue fur fur strip down the middle. this is the seat desgin of the early nineties when the scania and emrcs new new.

sculli they change to red seat leow. wah lau.....

And those r the 3 special merc.

different bus interior from common batch spotting is a long time concept. in those days with all the soon chow bus in 80s, the bus interior if different than normal caught bus fans eyes also. even bus with different exterior from he batch catches bus fans eyes in the 1980s. for example SBS1088 i think albion viking bah had a soon chow front refurbishment. certainly caught my eye when i saw it last time.

topic: lets use words to describe SBS8033

Very Happy

start>
well first fact is gemilang does export bus to perth Australia. so they do have perth bus like blueprints. this bus should be using some elements of those blueprints.

however i had been shown an interior of a custom coach K230UB pix so i will use that as reference.

the first two paragraph just says the 8033 uses a more Australian styling inside the bus. On the outside the bus has a funny groove at front. which looks like its collecting dust. ah choo. grey grey de. other than that like gemilang front.

The Australian k230Ub fixes the equipment up ways . that is instead of the bed like structure u find in front covering up the space, they lift everything 90 degrees clockwise and fit it up. this means the equipment box is now tilting into an oblong shape. this means more space to fit seats. HOWEVER 8033 did not fit any seat. oops

the air-con panelling adopts a more volgren look (translates to more australian look) and is not in a beige colour but purple. teh furniture panel covers are in a nice greenish dark blue colour.

there is the normal two step to the rear but u will find the rear seems a bit more sloped than usual k230UB. i put that down to the fact that the Custom Coach K230UB i saw have 3 steps. and to ease our step climbing burden i guess gemilang and Scania Singapore decided to do away with he third step and use a incline slope instead. its very a sharp slope compared to th others k230Ub flatter slope if u stand there.

the seats used are the same as SBS9888Y that VSO de seats.

the bell has a dweep sound before the usual ding dong. maybe circuitry between wheelchair bell and norrmal bell got tangled up or maybe is a leftover from a possible Australian-type bell fitting.

in all one word to describe 8033

gemilang perth bodywork around there.

293Y's aircon duct is of a darker maroon shade than the other SBST refurb Merc.

310G has red seats, and it seems to be perm Toa Payoh Int for Sundays.

Scania SG

Morning chaos

Towards Braddell.

Usually, the following would be the case:
3828K, 6:53am at My house bus stop
Loading, quite full, but still got space for others to board
272H 6:57am
Loading around the same as 3828K

Before 26 crossover got removed,
6:51am 3828K
6:54am 266B
6:57am 272H
With not so packed loading.

Today,
8083J (replacing 3828K), 6:55am still there at my house bus stop
Loading, full, competely packed, no space to move in.
Bus left only after next bus 8085D (replacing 272H) arrived at the bus stop at 6:57am.
Loading for 8085D, full seating + some standees, quite empty.

Also, 238 is the first feeder service to pass through an ERP gantry.

sbst275 SG

brotherchen1982 SG

chickenlittle2 SG

That's great! I always take this svc every month. Actually they should had introduce this long ago because TPY is one of the elderly estate. At least now they got WAB svc/low floor bus.

The problem is, after sometimes pple would complain about the seats..

Scania SG

Ok got error in my post as quoted here.

8083J is replacing 426G today, I think 3828K's slot overtook this bus.

carbikebus SG

I dun think feeder services peeps want to seat for long time
