Bodyworks are made by different companies.Originally posted by musli_bar:I got a list of questions I've been baffled all these time:
1) What's the difference between mk4 strider and dm3500, in terms of appearance - other than having the label 'strider' on striders?
MK4 Strider is made by Walter Alexander while DM3500 is made by Duple Metsec. -
The are many differences between the Strider and DM3500 bodywork.
The Front:
Strider - Windscreen curves outwards from the top and the sides curve deeper. The roofline has a gentle curve.
DM3500 - Overall, a more flattish appearance. Windscreen is flat with a shallow curve at the sides. The roofline has a more pronounced 'peak'. There is a rectangular depression at the centre, just above the bumper, where the trademark Volvo 'slash' is placed.
The Sides:
Strider - The windows are deeper. The handrail on the door is polished and the angle less acute. The door cocks are located just beneath the window line. The radiator filler cap is exposed. The radiator grille is made of fine wire mesh.
DM3500 - The windows are a tad shallower than the Strider. Handrail on the door is painted yellow and placed at an acute angle. Door cocks are located near the wheel arch. Radiator filler cap is concealed. The radiator grille are slits made into the bodywork.
The Rear:
Strider - There are some ridges on the roofline. The rear window is placed in a slight depression.
DM3500 - Again, a plain flat appearance. Rear window is flushed with the bodywork. -

How do we diff buses of diff depot/svc? -
Okay.. this is a little tricky:Originally posted by SBS9828X:Qn!
How do we diff buses of diff depot/svc?
bram/amdep: sticker with rt. numbers printed in Times New Roman.
slbp/bbdep: big white piece of sticker with the number being written on the it.
bndep: rt. number being written at a corner of the driver's cabin.
However, due to the fact that buses do transfer from depot to depot, what you may have seen is not accurate. For e.g.
SBS1792S was amdep 57. However, due to one of the transfers, it is now bndep 66. The amdep sticker that bears with the rt. number 57 is invalid.
- OR -
SBS2751D was slbp 105. However, due to one of the transfers, it is now hgdep 105. However, the sticker on board is of slbp 105. -
many buses BC cut out the service guide and put it on the blind. so thats the sticker?
-
Not the sticker. Maybe invalid sticker, so they become proactive.

the numbers are the rego followed by either 'F' or 'R' for front and rear barcodes respectively, e.g. SBS0031LF/SBS0031R, SBS0983PF/SBS0983PR.Originally posted by SBS9828X:I see...

ex-Sentosa B10M's carried SH plates when they were serving Sentosa, before carrying PA plates now. -
