[Locked] SBS Transit orders 900 buses from Scania (Part 1)
-
Plus taking over the old scrap scania N113CRBOriginally posted by Oceane:There hasn't been any news of any Scanias residing in AMDEP...
But most probably the Scanias won't replace the B9TLs. As mentioned by SBST the Scanias were brought in to cover the old buses that were going to be scrapped, means the new Scanias will take over the MKIIs and the WA MBs that will be going for scrapping next year.
Then most probably each depot would have Scanias.

I think the CRBs should be preserved since they were the first batch of Scanias that arrived in bulk on SG soil.Originally posted by chickenlittle2:Plus taking over the old scrap scania N113CRB -
They were also among the first few "quietest bus in SG"Originally posted by iveco:I think the CRBs should be preserved since they were the first batch of Scanias that arrived in bulk on SG soil. -

N113CRB are quiet... thats LONG LONG TIME ago...Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:They were also among the first few "quietest bus in SG"
and i doubt the K230UB will remain in that quietest bus in SG for that long..
cos IMO, the buses (esp. Scania) doesnt seem to adapt in our enviroment eh?
Too hot for them i suppose? -
where? where? which service?

I seriously hope to see 1 on 161 or 168. See how it run on SLE!

Before the 1 year warranty void,SBST dont tightened the pick up/top speed after that you will see the old same buses,Struggle to run 60km,come out from bus stop slow..Originally posted by swee_heng:I seriously hope to see 1 on 161 or 168. See how it run on SLE! -
500 NEW BUSES TO TRAVEL ON
SBS Transit is rolling out 500 new single deck buses from today and they promise to be extra friendly to the environment and the disabled. Built at a cost of $180 million, they are the first buses in Singapore to have the Euro IV engines, which emit fewer harmful particulates. The transmission systems will also improve fuel efficiency.
The buses will accommodate two passengers in wheelchairs at any one time, as compared to space for only one currently.
More legroom – between 25mm and 90mm more than the 250mm on existing single-deck buses or 290mm for the wheelchair accessible double deck buses – has also been added, based on commuter feedback, SBS Transit said yesterday.
As for safety, the buses feature an advanced braking system, which becomes engaged whenever the entrance or exit doors are opened.
The new Euro IV buses will be deployed to the fleet of Services 100 and 174. -
I hope they get deployed on CLE routes soon.

To SBST, this type of technology is new to them...Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:This technology has been around in SG for quite some time . The Habits have this feature. -
Whats the space behind the driver cabin and behind the entrance? Wheels?

Wheel archs, and above the archs could be the luggage racks(areas).Originally posted by Y_Shun:Whats the space behind the driver cabin and behind the entrance? Wheels? -
Just wondering, would BNDEP have Scania K230UB??

There's 500 of them. What do you think?Originally posted by bus555:Just wondering, would BNDEP have Scania K230UB?? -

Thought this was already found on the MKIV? Something like a speed interlock?Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:This technology has been around in SG for quite some time .

Maybe SBST should put the new Scania on airport plying services such as 36,27,24,53. Then that space would be put to good use. Of course one could argue that hardly anyone goes to the airport to catch a flight by bus. Maybe this would encourage them to do so.Originally posted by C751B:Wheel archs, and above the archs could be the luggage racks(areas). -
Are all the Scanias going to have EDS ? Or is it just these few buses?
Edit: Anyway , it would be good if either SMRT or SBST purchases the Mercedes Benz OC500LF . This chassis does not require high rear seats like the K230UB , since its pancake engine would mean more space for the passenger compartment . Its Low Floor (LF) variant already indicated that from the front to the back of the bus , there are no steps. -
The Airport Bus Terminal is also used as a transfer stop to Singapore Expo. Dun be suprised to see many ppl boarding an Airport Service like 858, 54, 27 and 36 heading back to their individual interchanges.Originally posted by dfs24:Maybe SBST should put the new Scania on airport plying services such as 36,27,22,24,53.
