Why SBS 3740D is exceptional? Gd wat? Better than SBS 432M but SBS 432M can speed very well in the Expressway..

TWS4793 SG

Seen this bus in it's NAC times (from a photo) and in it's current CAC times (last saw it when I was going to Boon Lay and saw it on Express 502). Quite interesting-BIH accquired the photo as one of their tops for the nostalgia part.
