  Yeah..i guess the cooling capacity of the air-con of the Dart is the same as the other SDs..thus it is much cooler inside..though i have nvr sat in one b4..one day i should..haha..it's cute though..with that small wheels..lol..really like a baby MkIII...

  Maybe these Darts do massive cameo! But cameo must be two days.
  
  Then maybe every svc got a 'chance' to use Darts for cameo.

  Hmm, Darts have rear engines, but how come AC is also at the rear? Other rear-engined buses have AC in the front to balance out the weight.

  Not all SBST services got a 'chance' to use Darts for cameos because only BBDEP and BNDEP got the Darts... unless u mean all BB/BN service got the 'chance'

  That's another story due to height constraints. I am referring to normal SD buses.
  
  All B10Ms have AC at rear because the engine is behind the front axle. The rest have AC units in front (even the Dennis Lances, I think).
  
  Box Hispano generation buses (as well as bendies) use underfloor AC, so that has been left out.

  The only Hispano Mercs with roof top a/c units were the CAC mercs, altho TIB741C and TIB779U have underfloor a/c units. But it seems to me that underfloor a/c units are a tad noisier ... just take the Hispano and Habits for example...Volgren artics and Volgren mercs with rooftop units have low noise level.. even the CAC Merc with rooftop units have low a/c noise level as well. So maybe you might want to take a Volgren Mercs to have a clear recording of the O.405s?
  
  But underfloor a/c Hispanos aircon cooler leh. Volgren mercs and CAC Mercs can be hot during a hot afternoon.

  Isn't the AC unit on the DM3500 at the top of the bus over the rear axle? lol..

  Erm, since when SMRT's Volgren atrics had rooftop a/c?

  Isn't SBS1888 the one with a roof top a/c which was different from the rest? This bus was the 'prototype'.
