the converted have brown tinted windows and i tot the interior was deep purple? as in the top at the air con units...?Originally posted by kenn3th:Heard there was a Non Ac versions of it, and that they were converted into Air condi units. so how to see if they are COnverted aircondition units?
>> the red interior? -
OAC buses that have been refurbished have purple interior (Merc, Scania, MK3).Originally posted by SMRT 32373238:the converted have brown tinted windows and i tot the interior was deep purple? as in the top at the air con units...?
CAC buses (SBST) have grey interior (AC MK2s, Merc, Scania).
To identify a CAC bus from a OAC bus, see this pic of a CAC bus...
...and this pic of a OAC bus
Both pics are from http://www.sbs9684t.fotopic.net/
As you can see, a CAC bus has widows that edges are rounded and an OAC bus has window's with square edges -
the former PA-plate merc has a slight different interior i think..
the entrance (where the transitlink farecard reader is located) seems narrower -
TIB773K (AM 859)oso lyk tat.......I got see some windows open at the back..........after leave int oso like tat......

It's the same lah... They were originally SBS-plate registered then changed to PA then now change back to SBS.Originally posted by 105090:the former PA-plate merc has a slight different interior i think..

i not sure leh.. once took this 52 bus (375X) and the space in between the 2 farecard validators seemed very narrow.. narrower than the normalOriginally posted by stooper:It's the same lah... They were originally SBS-plate registered then changed to PA then now change back to SBS. -
O.o so is purple interior or grey for oac, cac?
-
Dun bother about interior..haha..the easiest way to differentiate an CAC and OAC is the windows..the windows on a CAC have rounded-edges while the OACs have sharp edged windows..

oh thanks for the info.... btw wat does CAC and OAC stand for?

CAC - Converted Air-Con (Means that the bus was NAC previously)Originally posted by SMRT 32373238:oh thanks for the info.... btw wat does CAC and OAC stand for?

OAC - Original Air-Con (Bus has A/C all along)
NAC - Non Air-Con -
But even some of the OAC O.405s that SBS have, have their air-con unit replaced..probably the Sutrak units are old..now they changed to another smaller compressor..it's easy to see, if you look up when u are inside the bus, you can clearly see whether it's the old Sutrak units or the new ones fixed by SBS..the new ones are exactly half of the old Sutrak units..maybe that's why nowadays even the OAC O.405s are not so cold anymore..lol..

and use ya sense of smell oso...and sense of feel....the interior of an CAC bus smell rubber(maybe body ordour of CAC buses) or dunno what i dun expect perfume smell but i prefer ordourless smell like OAC buses....secondly the interior look si bei dull....boring no life....

The Sutrak design is completely different from the Fuji design. The Fuji design is more box-like, whereas the Sutrak is more streamlined, with 2 grilles at the front and 5 fans on top arranged in 1 line.
The Fuji one only has many openings on the side and has 4 fans on top instead. -
he mean 375* (can be 3750 to 3759) . not talking abt 375X. he cant remember the actual rego..Originally posted by stooper:No such bus...
at first tot, i also tot he talking abt 375X. then i realised that the X actually represent a number.. -
some O405 got emergency exits from Roof? where as some dont have? is it possible to derive something or conclude that those without emergency exits are
once Nac and vice versa -
Yes. But for Scania. There is now one odd one out. SBS73R. It used to have those cover but was removed when it was refurbished and repanelled.Originally posted by kenn3th:

Yeah. Both the WA and OAC Mercs have the openings. But the CAC Mercs don't have them.Originally posted by kenn3th:

rego start withOriginally posted by stooper:Yeah. Both the WA and OAC Mercs have the openings. But the CAC Mercs don't have them.
3723-3922=CAC
82-281= WA OAC
282-581=DM OAC -
if u notice those which were PA-plated, the left front wheel takes up more space than regular CACs... u cant sit at the corner (guide rack area)
and 3723D had their wall-mounted bells changed... the one beside the entrance door (above the guide rack) can be pressed

meaning converted dont have those Openings on the roof?Originally posted by stooper:Yeah. Both the WA and OAC Mercs have the openings. But the CAC Mercs don't have them. -
Talking about the openings, what are the openings in SBST WA b DM OAC Mercs used for?Originally posted by stooper:Yeah. Both the WA and OAC Mercs have the openings. But the CAC Mercs don't have them.
Emergency exits only? -
I think next time let it be 375_ or 375* if do not know the exact rego.Originally posted by lemon1974:he mean 375* (can be 3750 to 3759) . not talking abt 375X. he cant remember the actual rego..

375X may make us confuse, instead of SBS 375_ _, we may take it as SBS 375X.
