Dey thambi. Public la.

If you say Transtar is a public bus service provider, then I say SBS Transit is a coach service provider. Can?

Back to the topic, one evaluation unit is already on the roads, operated by Cityliner.

Hahaha. Well, DDs are now very common for interstate express buses. I believe CityLiner has 2 such buses. Actually, it is not used within KL city itself. The bus is deployed on route 710, a semi-express service from Kuala Lumpur to Port Klang, a journey of about 1.5 hours. This route was formerly run by Klang-Banting, a subsidiary of Nadicorp, the owner of Transnasional. The bus used is the Scania K124 6x2 420, with Badanbas bodywork.

Scania SG

If they have ah, they would choose the bodywork used on ASU1, they would use some CDGE bodywork.

That’s not even 4.4 meters. A full-fledged DD is 4.4 meters. That Scania is only 4 meters or 3.8 meters only.

The_Bus_Guide SG

The Scania is what is called as a low bridge double-decker. As the name implies, it is designed to pass through low bridges which is impassable to normal double-deckers. I guess the company isn’t ready to take the risk on such an expensive machinery by building it as a high bridge DD.

this concept of low bridge decker is most applicable in Hong Kong. i read books where they really point out n differentiate the bus is lower in height
