Using side desto to cover the floor..Taken on SBS3828K(238 BRBP)

Surprised My goodness, SBST spend so much money do reflooring for so many of the WA Merz which will be scrapped even before the CAC DM Merz... and then for this paticular bus, they so despo, use the desto to cover floor.

white seats are easier to get dirty

cos steel elements r ex these days.. u see many pple selling these days! Next time maybe they still these side desto..

Scania SG

Actually, I must say that the O.405s are more likely to be sold than scrapped because they are more reliable than B10Ms and Scania N113CRBs. Just need to do nicely or follow buyer’s requirements will do.

i was wondering...was SBS73R redone to attract buyers?

Scania SG

Maybe, but there is also this possibility that the bus was in such a bad condition and was used for trial. However, an O.405 would still be a better choice than a Scania N113CRB.

SBS3625D SG

Among the B10Ms, the MKIII seems to be the better contender to be sold, despite their age still doing fine without all the rattling like the MKIIs.

I agree the 0405 stands the best chance to be sold if SBST decides to sell.

BusSpeeder SG

because MBO405 more stable and much more smooth to control?

Scania SG

These are the factors:

B10M

Mk2s: Easy to maintain, but O.405s even more easier.

Mk3s, Mk4s: Maintenance wise, O.405s still easier to maintain Relatively few operators chose these chassis as city bus as compared to operators who use them as coaches.

Scania N113CRBs: Harder to maintain than O.405s.

O.405s: Widely used chassis around the world (besides North America). From NE England to Israel to Kuala Lumpur to Australia, you can find these. So they need not find the parts for an O.405. Drivers seem to like O.405s than new Volvos or Scanias. You can buy a lot of new buses, but drivers would still stick to O.305s and O.405s.

BusSpeeder SG

MB cease manufacturing O.305 and O.405 already right?

Scania SG

Yes. The current products that are replacing the O.405s are the Citaro (for Europe) and OC500LE (for Australia).

BusSpeeder SG

once the O405 get deregistered, maybe its time for new MB buses? or the new scania buses covers them, after they decide to order 1000 of them after the 100 buses test?

Scania SG

You most probably wouldn't get all 1000 buses being Scanias

The maintainence of SBS 2634J (21 AMDEP) is far not as good as other AMDEP buses.

The seat can slide out from it's original position. Also happens to SBS 9821P and SBS 9844Z (which someone had mentioned before).

SBS9888Y SG

steering though big is light... i think SBST may buy 0505s instead but iam hoping they buy B9L

Scania SG

There isn't anything called the O.505

Scania N113CRB luver SG

U mean the Merc O.530 (Citaro) ? Or the OC500 ?

Well, I remembered on May Day last year I took 334 MErc 0405 WA and what the f#$%! The interior was leaking rainwater into the bus compartment as it was raining that day. Lucky not as worse as the SMRT C151 Trains, they condense alot and water are leaking all over the place.

Scania N113CRB luver SG

Rainwater leaking into compartment cant be compared with some LO3x and VO3x first batch , on the upper deck . Search for a video about it on Youtube and you will be amazed . Laughing

Some 171 merc also leak badly during heavy rain . That time took one and i sat at the front . When the bus braked , all the rain water came sloshing towards me .
