Just adding on about wheelchair buses.

I find that these types of buses are not really necessary in Singapore as I rarely see disabled people on the bus

But still have to buy disable friendly buses for the minority whose disable.

You rarely see disabled people on buses because the buses in Singapore are sooooooooo disable-unfriendly.

Not the other way round. Mr. Green

Same here too Suhirman! I really like the retarder too! It kicks in when decelerating, so as to slow down the bus engine without jerking too much. Comparing with a TIBS O.405 that I boarded yesterday, I feel that OC.500LE, with a 6-speed gearbox, can handle the speed of the bus efficiently, and also, smoothly.

SBS9816E SG

That's pretty true. As one can see, most of the buses in Singapore have steps on boarding and alighting area. The elderly and the disabled people do have difficulties getting up and down the bus. With such low floor design on the bus, it would benefit the mentioned group of people, and also create convenience for them when taking public transportation.

Of course! This bussy has a 4 stage retarder, unlike the 3stage for the ones we have here in Singapore! I simply luv the feeling of 4th stage on esplanade dr. Very Happy

Its very difficult to catch TP1854 in Perth, cos it will be running around Australian cities from East to West, North to South as a demostrator after it leaves Singapore by ship and the ship will take at least a week to get to Australia. One more thing Australian cities are much bigger than the Island of Singapore and whats more even if its back in Perth, you will face some problems catching it, because Transperth simply have too many buses from O305 single decks to Renault PR.100.2 (lots of them) to O405NH (fuel Cell, very expensive and explosive) to O.500.LE (OC.500.LE)

Yusry, I must agree. Mr. Green

The destos i have programmed here in Sydney also use an SD-MMC card. I have uploaded different logos for SCHOOL BUS and a swimmer logo for BEACH BUS, among other things. Better than serial cables for the TIBS LLE destos in the O.405s and O.405Gs, and the mobitecs for the TIBS L113CRLs. I think the same is for the destos of SBS998,SBS997, and SBS9888 (also mobitec).

So what do the TIBS L113CRLs use? Serial cables too?
