1000 buses over a 5 year span is alot !Originally posted by brotherchen1982:SBST to buy 100 Zero-Step SD buses to replace those old SD buses & will be deployed on trial before deciding to buy another 1000 of them over a 5 yr period.
The Zero-Step SD bus has space reserved for Wheelchairs at behind the driver cab & near the exit.

But there's 200 CRBs, 700 O405 and 300 MK3 that would retire in this 5 years...Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:1000 buses over a 5 year span is alot ! -
Dun forget the upcoming Circle lines,I think its justified for 1000 buses to replace 1000+ buses.BTW Is it they buy 200 buses per year?BTW I can't wait to see those 80s buses retired early,Sold those MKIIIs also.

As for CCL...
We shall wait and see...
Bus sv network is still expanding as well -
I dun think they will reserved for 2 PIW area,LTA allowed only 1 PIW at a time.Hmm i forsee a huge drop in our bonuses & OTs over this yearsOriginally posted by sbst275:
The SDs will only have 28 seats... By right it's 30, but they are making 2 singles at the back for more standing space
And there'll be 2 slots for PIW, side by side
Eh... There's a seat behind the driver cab

yeah how on earth do a K230 and K310 be different. its jsut only the engine output difference.Originally posted by Powered_By_CNG:It's funny reading messages that claim that a Scania K230UB and a K310UB look "different" when, in actual fact, it is the end user (read: bus operator) that specifies how their buses should look like!
Remember guys, the K230UB, K270UB, and K310UB chassis' are exactly that - chassis'. Whatever goes on top of the chassis is the responsibility of the bus body builder.

I seldom see IrisBus products in Asia, save for the TurboCities in KL.Originally posted by Powered_By_CNG:I would personally hate to see SBST purchase from anyone other than the "big five" - EvoBus, Irisbus, Scania, M.A.N., or Volvo.
By the way, Mercedes-Benz has a new "low-entry" articulated bus chassis called the O 500 UA!

Anyway, what's with Dennis? Aren't they also a major supplier of bus chassii? -
Prob is that Dennis uses Cummins engines , and theses engines are known for being hard to service and maintain. Also, i dont think AlexDennis offers a full 12m SD bus. The Enviro300 is a light bus , not a heavy bus such as the OC500LE.Originally posted by iveco:I seldom see IrisBus products in Asia, save for the TurboCities in KL.

Correct me if im wrong. -
Hopefully there can also be the B9L

I don't recall any complaints about the C245 engines used by the Lances. Anyone working as mechanic @ AMDEP (Tibs) wanna comment?Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Prob is that Dennis uses Cummins engines , and theses engines are known for being hard to service and maintain.

Agreed.Originally posted by sbst275:Hopefully there can also be the B9L B12BLE also not bad. 12litre leh ... Only downside is its rather high fuel consumption , as stated by someone.

Volvo seems to have somewhat improved the fuel consumption of the new DH12E engine for Euro 5. The average fuel consumption has finally been improved to below 50L/100km for city operations. The addition of an SCR catalyst has allowed Volvo to improve the torque and power curves while greatly reducing emissions. Still, fuel consumption is incredibly high, considering that Mercedes-Benz's OM 457 hLA consumes about 38-42L/100km on the same city duties.
