Scania K230UB Bus Deployments: Any suggestions?
-
sorry if i'm noob, but first time i see 'red man' driving the bus, usually new bus test drive (when i saw the B9TL last year) is driven by a 'orange man'.

So ugly...
What the hell. If I want curvy body, all curvy lah, if I want angular stuff, then angular lah!
This one looks like Picasso gone wrong!!!!
NOT NICE! -
I had spotted this bus while I was in Sv 105(travelling along Bradell Rd)
I looked to my right and saw the bus with two BCs inside where one of them is driving.
The EDS for the bus is on and it displayed Sv 88 route with the destination.
(It is orange in colour, something similar to TIB1034D)
Saw it turning left into the direction of Toa Payoh(twds Int?)
I suspect that it might just came out from BRBP before that.
It does not have any rego plate yet, but spotted a blue plate hung at the back of the bus. -
Saw the bus near HGdepot. According to sources, that is a HG bus send to BR on trial. (Not sure how true this is)Originally posted by gorby107:I had spotted this bus while I was in Sv 105(travelling along Bradell Rd)

Agreed,General public dun care new bus or not.Important thing is A/C,Clean interior and courteous drivers.Originally posted by lemon1974:i dun think the general public know whether it is a new bus or not..
And if u dun find the bus on the road, do u expect to find them on pavement or playground or carpark ah? -
hee hong kong discovery bay did their homework b4 asking for this gemilang bodywork model .Originally posted by C751B:Does it look much more similar to the new scania?
If the bodybuilder of those new scania buses is not Gemilang Coachwork,
it should be DEFTECH from HICOM which built the B7RLEs for KL Rapid.
as we know gemilang has a version of bodywork that uses MAN ion's City bus desgin front.
well here it is on a..... MAN bus. thumbs up

and too think in the 80s SBS decided that DDs were more economical to operate..sighOriginally posted by carbikebus:Future target>80% Rigids 20% DDs.With the so-called less than 10 mins during Peaks we will not need more DDs.

i saw the pic Choww put up leow. confirm it is indeed Gemilang. however the front looks like an original gemilang design or SBS asked for it. but it does not in anyway resemble an Omnicity. pity lol
on the other hand i still like the bodywork overall for the bus. it is modern, contemporary and the front is pleasing to the eye. not so th rear. Wrong position placement of the rear EDS spoilt the symmetry at the rear. ffurtheremore i dun lik the coach style rear. i prefer more glass , lower rear window and a proper placement of rear EDS.
as for he curve issue, its because nowadays buses uses the lighter and more malleable fibre glass material, hence curves are the in-trend. in fact if u see oversea buses newer buses all curvy curvy designs one. i like curves. seems more pleasing to the eye.
glad that SBS din go n ordered for the Gemilang's lion's City ("gemilang LC") design. otherwise got trouble. do nnote that genting newer Scanias are gemilang with ...oops "gemilang LC bodywork".
for now i dub this bodywork the "Gemilang SG scania". wonder whats the official model of bodywork Gemilang called....

I hope some K230UB go to Service 72 to replaced some B9TL
Too much B9TL on Service 72 liao

SBST don't deploy buses as you likeOriginally posted by bus555:I hope some K230UB go to Service 72 to replaced some B9TL Too much B9TL on Service 72 liao 
Some LO3x were redeployed because of the B9TLs. What if SBST deploy some K230UB on 72 but removing buses that are not B9TL? -
there is a demand of DDs on Sv 72 and the profit SBST make from Sv 72 justified the amount of B9TL on it. Sv 147 got even more B9TL. why dun u ask them to remove from Sv 147?Originally posted by bus555:I hope some K230UB go to Service 72 to replaced some B9TL Too much B9TL on Service 72 liao -

I think the 2 wheelchair spaces are really a waste of space. I don't think there is going to be a high chance that 2 wheelchair passengers would be onboard the same bus.Originally posted by sir_peanuts:hi, here's a link from the official scania site that contains pics, sorry if it has alr been posted elsewhere.

SBStransit asked or 2 WAb space so that the bus can carry more standees.
SBStransit is like following the British 1980 days where they introduce loads of crush loader bus types.
crush loader means can carry a lot of standee one
a crush loader type bus that comes to mind now would be HK hot dogs of the 1980s
