Nope, CRBs are very quiet espically the NAC ones. Anyway, is SBS going to buy scanias after COE ends 2006?

Hey,Hey,I was just joking only about the scania bus,No need to take it so serious.It is a good buses except for the bodywork only.

th1988 SG

Poor body work?

When I take my fav sv, during peak, 50 pax can stand anywhere, at the validator space, steps.

service_238 SG

Honestly speaking Scanias although doesnt have any standing space like those VOs and MBO405s, it sure does have quite an amount of standing space thruout the whole bus.

carbikebus SG

To each of his own,I do not say that it has poor bodywork,Except that i did not prefer the bodywork only,But the decisions is with SBST pal,Not me!However it is a good buses(The engine,Speed,Comfy,Sleek)and please end this useless debates,Pal,For god's sake! Confused

Windy_hates_B10TLs SG

Howdy there, all!

You folks seem to forget Singapore's first double deck low-floor buses...the Dennis Trident! If only they all had wheelchair spaces for better accessibility for handicapped persons.
Sydney is full of wheelchair accessible buses, as is Europe.

The SE Asian countries are a bit behind in these advancements.

Windy.K. 2003.

off_service SG

Hi Windy,

I agree. SBST did not provide wheelchair facilities even though they had low floor buses, and Tibs doesn't have any low floor zero step buses now.

tranquilice SG

Don't have much memory of 9C. Confused

cck_190 SG

What does ‘WT’ stands for. I saw the bus number change on the EDS at a bus stop, from 307 to WT1

off_service SG

From what I deduced should be "Workers' Transportation" or "Workers' Transport".

WT20 passes by Sembawang Drive.

SBS9818A SG

Too confusing. Razz

cck_190 SG

The TIBS Scania L113 ELBO is a zero step bus, FYI

SBS9818A SG

Only at the entrance. There are two steps at the rear exit. So it is technically not a low-floor bus.

th1988 SG

But then why Tibs claimed that the ELBO was zero step then? Didn’t it know SBS has real zero step buses where the entrance and exit does not have steps?

SBS9818A SG

Back then SBST didn't have any low-floor buses. It's first lowfloor bus was 1688K and only arrived in 1997-1998.

cck_190 SG

Maybe the definition of zero-step buses in Singapore actually means that the bus has one door without steps. Idea
