  Actually those ComfortDelgro Volvo B7R are more comfy than the SBST yet they choose to cramp with the crowd just becuz lazy to climb stairs.

  The B7R coach with the ZF gearbox i took on Friday did 87km/h while going back to BNL interchange.

  I am more inclined to think that it has a ZF 5HP502 gearbox.
  
  PA3187E, M1 ad, easily identified due to the location of the B7R's axles.

  Unlikely . I took it , it has just 3 shifts ( 4 jerks including the lock-up) . A 5HP502 should have 4 shifts (5 jerks including lock-up).

  Eh Superliners have two kinds, one is the Liannex one, with Vogelsitze, which is the older one and I believe they have manual gearboxes. The other one is the SC Chivalrous, which have ZF gearboxes.

  Erm , ZF Auto or Manual ?
  
  Anyway , maybe you are right . The older one seems to have blacker exhaust . But some other B7Rs doesn't seem to have it.

  Yeah . I think its a shuttle bus right? I can't remember the bus rego that i took , but its not a Superliner , a shuttle bus instead.
  
  Oh btw , how come a Superliner has a Auto gearbox? Won't it be wasteful (in the sense that its not fuel efficient) if its used on SG-KL trips? Hmm , so those Superliner with auto are used mostly on SG roads instead of overland use?
