Has anyone seen wheelchair users yet?
I doubt so...

I meant Sv 88 DDs that are commonly vandalised, not the routing.Originally posted by lemon1974:SV88 got go Tampines meh??? -
Took the B9TL today but have not seen any wheelchair users yet but I think in time to come, they'll be using the currently svc 21 to get to their destinations instead of cabs coz seems like they're gonna raise fares againOriginally posted by stooper:Has anyone seen wheelchair users yet?

early assesement / review
SBS7309 seem to have some sort of loose engine flap problem. irritating dash keeps complaining. so much for having on board computers that diagnose ur poor bus
(note the "9900" show STOP CHASIS FAILURE at that diagnostic part of the display)
still wondering who is 9900. 9900 will be in orginal livery and will have a camera stuck at the rear of the upper deck. most buses just got one gap there.
SBS7301 door is squeaking. already. jack says need lubricating
lols
the ZF6HP gearbox seem to be straining the bus. buses shake and virbate before really getting off to a fast start. still its wonderful to hear them go up to the max of 6th gear. irritating engine reatradation sounds (basially loud bursts) of the ZF6HP gearbox series. comparable to the KL merc CBC1725 on rapid KL and the OC500LE in perth. both of which use the new gerneration ZF gearbox.

reminds u of new MAN 5-ton not?Originally posted by MS:Really thank those who enjoyed the B9TL. Because I know that there have been a lot of hardships, fights, tears behind the scenes to make this bus a reality.
As the B9TL is going to replace many buses, hopefully we will be able to learn how to maintain this super sophisticated ECU oriented bus. Headache headache headache for the workshops. So long all get to enjoy, the headaches are worth it.
7304D broke down twice today. the driver managed to restart it in the morning, but it broke down opposite White Sands Primary School at 10.45pm on its way to St. Michael's. The intelligent display kept saying engine failure, but u go behind and press the manual engine start button, it powered up on the second try.

this one ah?Originally posted by Pitot:What is the other one that is also a DD? they look new too. But different body from these. And will 147 get them?
or this one?

The top one and another DD, with the EDS screen oso. sometimes can be seen on 153 or 147.

the top one is a Volvo Super Olympian, but with a local bodywork custom-made by ComfortDelgro Engineering. SBS9889U, registered in 2005. there is only 1 bus with this body, conceptualised in 2003, and have been superceded by the bodywork design used by the WAB buses, which is also designed by ComfortDelgro Engineering.Originally posted by Pitot:The top one and another DD, with the EDS screen oso. sometimes can be seen on 153 or 147.
the below one also a Volvo Super Olympian, but is one of the 51 with Volgren boydworks which you'll more commonly see in the city, central and eastern areas. SBS9800A to SBS9848K + SBS9888Y. registered in 2002, except 9888Y in 1999.
the orange EDS bus on 153 (and also 51, 62, 80, 89 etc) is known as Dennis Trident. there are only 20 units of them bought in 2001, they all belong to Hougang Depot, hence they are most commonly found on services originating from Hougang, Sengkang and Punggol Int. SBS9671E to SBS9690A.
