BTW do you see the possibility of 64 using BT9Ls in the near future especially it serves the aging Queenstown estate?

I agree that all low floor buses will be upgraded with a manual wheelchair ramp. Wink

you pay i dont mind. dont think low floor bus = chance of installing a wheelchair ramp. Do you know that you have to change the entire floorboard, install the ramp, install bells, backrest, railings, removal of seats if neccessary, install an alert button on the driver's console.. bla bla bla bla bla........

B9TLs are going everywhere on HGDEP routes. I just saw one on 89, another one on 62, again! What’s the next service to get them? (NO PERM B9TLs)

don't assume. they will have to take off the poles at the exit and also take out some parts of the bus.

SBST will be a full WAB fleet company, but SMRT won't think much about WAB i guess. at least until a few years later.

The new buses SMRT tendered for HAVE TO be WABs. So what do you think?

Volvo B9TL is one of the excellent buses that SBST ever bought,The only weakness are from the lower deck that is after the step.Pax would never stand there,The aisle is too narrow.The best acceleration DDs,Nice design,Cheerful interior,I love especially upper deck

Someone once wrote to ST forum complaining about the step as well as the rear-facing seats.

SBST replied that the rear has a step because of engine cavity as well as the other components. As for the rear-facing seats, it was because of the position of the central axle.

Hmm ... I dont think you can do much to the chassis . The chassis itself isnt fully low floor in the first place. The product that Volvo currently offers with a full flat floor is the B9L , with minimal or no steps at all .

B9 Have been on all HGDEP DD routes already.

The plan is to have a full WAB fleet in the future and not now, so there is no need to spend money to convert buses to WAB.

In the next 5-7 years, a large part of the SD fleet will be refreshed and it is the right time to plan the kind of buses that we will need in the future, given the projected demographics and public transit needs.
