SBST going to purchase new buses?
-
how the bus knw the bus model in the first place, can he remembr it? -
Hmm, possible also ah. Suddenly huge influx of Hyundai and Kia taxis.Originally posted by service_238:I think they took in taxis instead -
I think SMRT Buses are interested more in Jap or Korea buses more than SBST

Spokeswoman Ms Tammy replied to a Forum that they are in the process in buying new buses to replace the aging buses on 138 as appropriately..

Since you said that, i want a Volvo B7RLE to be bought !Originally posted by MitEvolution:i think they will buy back volvo because they got bussiness realationship.Comfortdelgo has been the exclusive distributor for Volvo.Comfortdelgo also build buses for private company
A B9L will be good too.

I'm also interested in the Volvo B12Ms.Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Since you said that, i want a Volvo B7RLE to be bought ! A B9L will be good too. -
All buses registered after 1st june 2006 must be wheelchair accessible. To make a B12M wheelchair accessible requires a wheelchair lift which costs more than a ramp and have high operating costs.Originally posted by TWS4793:I'm also interested in the Volvo B12Ms. -
Is B7RLE a Euro 4 ? AND.. IF we have a 12m B7RLE with a full load.. How far do you think the bus can move before it breaks down ?Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Since you said that, i want a Volvo B7RLE to be bought ! A B9L will be good too. -

Erm....go look at Volvo's Website. It says that it can meet Euro3/4/5 (incentive) standards. Sentosa's B7RLE arent Euro4.Originally posted by sBs_boy:Is B7RLE a Euro 4 ? AND.. IF we have a 12m B7RLE with a full load.. How far do you think the bus can move before it breaks down ?
A 12m B7RLE with full load breaks down? Excuse me, the Sentosa's B7RLEs are usually at full capacity. Last week i went to Sentosa the bus already Full load, yet it can climb hills with no problems.
If SBST chooses a 12m B9L, its gonna go with the 260bhp 9 litre engine. Unless the company opts for the more powerful 310bhp engine, which isn't really practical for a 12m bus. FYI, the 260bhp engine produces 1100nm of torque where the B7RLE's D7E engine produces 1200nm at 290bhp. So which do you think SBST will choose?
If SBST buys King Long, maybe the bus cannot move at full load lah. -
I won't say the B7Rs would breakdown, rather, wouldn't perform as well. As you can see, many of the Sentosa B7Rs are rattling quite badly. Call it poor maintenance, lack of maintenance, I don't know. Overworked? Perhaps.Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Erm....go look at Volvo's Website. It says that it can meet Euro3/4/5 (incentive) standards. Sentosa's B7RLE arent Euro4.

Then maybe SBST choose B12BLE?Originally posted by Scania:All buses registered after 1st june 2006 must be wheelchair accessible. To make a B12M wheelchair accessible requires a wheelchair lift which costs more than a ramp and have high operating costs.
But someone said that SBST shouldn't buy B12BLEs. The bus is high in fuel consumption . Plus, i think that 340bhp for a 12m city bus ( its fine for a bendy bus) is really too much .
The B9L, B7RLE are much better. -
Also, B12Ms (and later batches of B10Ms) are meant to be coaches, few bus companies would buy a B12M for city services.Originally posted by TWS4793:I'm also interested in the Volvo B12Ms.
A few chances were missed for bus companies to have low floor buses
1)TIBS brought l113CRls which are low entry chasiss but bodied them such that for the WA Striders, not in a low floor format and the ELBOs (the body is meant for Low entry buses) not in a front door to rear door low floor portion.
2)SBS brought B10M/DM3500s when they can buy B10BLEs, by then the B10M was largely used as a coach. -
The Sentosa B7RLEs are Midis, 10.3m.Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Erm....go look at Volvo's Website. It says that it can meet Euro3/4/5 (incentive) standards. Sentosa's B7RLE arent Euro4.

Your statement is technically and logically incorrect. Which law stated that all buses registered after 1st june 2006 must be wheelchair accessible? None!Originally posted by Scania:All buses registered after 1st june 2006 must be wheelchair accessible. To make a B12M wheelchair accessible requires a wheelchair lift which costs more than a ramp and have high operating costs.
Its the PUBLIC buses which need to be wheelchair accessible. Not ALL buses.LTA:LTA has required all new public buses registered in Singapore from 2006 to be wheelchair-accessible. -
Ah forgot to clarify that, in this case I was referring to TWS's context of SBS buses, thanks for that.Originally posted by XiaoTaro:Its the PUBLIC buses which need to be wheelchair accessible. Not ALL buses. -
Though they might be the dist for Volvo Buses here...
But it does not mean they have to die die purchase Volvo chassis for SBS buses...
Let's say now they decide to purchase a mix of DDs and SDs to replace the CRBs. Volvo right now cannot supply the VO cos it's Euro3 std, so they might just have to look for other manufacturers like Scania -
sentosa buses operate from morning to night ... Dont expect them to maintance everyday. At least they maintaince twice a month or somethingOriginally posted by off_service:I won't say the B7Rs would breakdown, rather, wouldn't perform as well.

Wat abt Scania K95IB? Or Mercedes O500? I think this 2 suits the most. 1. This 2 buses are Euro 4 & WAB.

Doesnt this applies to SBST as well ??Originally posted by MitEvolution:sentosa buses operate from morning to night ... Dont expect them to maintance everyday. At least they maintaince twice a month or something -
And Excuse Me... How LOOOONG is the Sentosa B7RLEs ?Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:A 12m B7RLE with full load breaks down? Excuse me, the Sentosa's B7RLEs are usually at full capacity. Last week i went to Sentosa the bus already Full load, yet it can climb hills with no problems. -
