So does the K230UB have the same seat colour as 9378C?

Originally posted by tintinspartan:SBS8038R is on S-shift today and is confirmed with sticker a 100 perm bus. And the aircon is so cold that the BC driving it have to wear jacket. I'm forced to wear a turtleneck and it is damn cold, especially at the rear. The BC complained to me about the coldness of the bus. I should nickname SBS8038R as 'Mr Fridge'.
You guys forgot to photograph the new Scanias at this place:

CBD has a lot of obstructions, resulting in a not-so-good or bad photos.Originally posted by tintinspartan:Why never take pic of K230UB in CBD and i shot this from SBS8038H 'Mr Fridge' -

Jurong West Extenstion no WABs lerhx.
I think they should give WABS to 99 242 243 or 185. -
First four seats at the front are yellow, subsequently all are red with a bit of orange.Originally posted by musli_bar:So does the K230UB have the same seat colour as 9378C?
So the seat colours don't look exactly the same as SBS 9378C. -
The seat covers are the same as 9378C, its just that the lighting in the photos of 9378C's interior doesn't really show the exact color of the seats. Board 1975G or 9378C to see it for yourself, the lime greenish seat covers for the priority seats are also the same. Even the material is the same.Originally posted by TWS4793:First four seats at the front are yellow, subsequently all are red with a bit of orange.

Correction: SBS 8038ROriginally posted by tintinspartan:Why never take pic of K230UB in CBD and i shot this from SBS8038H 'Mr Fridge'
There's a lot of traffic at the CBD area. One of the worst hit places I would say is at Orchard. Not only is there a lot of cover, there's also a lot of traffic. I tried a 132 ADD offside outside Tanglin Mall once and it failed.
OT: SBS 8038R is now my new darling for the Scania K230UB category. -
Eh the whole town of Punggol don't have WAB, the AMK side of Sengkang also don't have WAB except for 161, which isn't a WAB service and serves only 2 bus stops in the AMK side. Toa Payoh and Bishan also don't have WAB services even though 88 and 143 have WABs. So I think you shouldn't complain and just wait for them to come out.Originally posted by -SIMPLICITY-:Jurong West Extenstion no WABs lerhx.

For goodness sake, Finalyson Green junction is one of the worst places for you to take photos of buses, the heavy traffic means there is a high chance of you having photos which are blocked by other vehicles. Want Scania K230UB pix in the CBD? Tammy got a photo of 8035Z on 174 taken at YMCA. -
these Scania are quiet and smooth... when 174 is speeding in jurong road i feel that i am travelling along the malaysia highway with luxary coaches... my gf slept from orchard to boonlay all the way

It takes alot of skill to be able to snap buses in the midst of the morning peak hour traffic. -

Perhaps you need to observe more before posting a post so that it will not irritate peopleOriginally posted by tintinspartan:Why never take pic of K230UB in CBD and i shot this from SBS8038H 'Mr Fridge'
It is just like going for a live range shooting, need to follow the instructions, if not there will be trouble ahead. -

MAybe belonging to 'Cityscape Category' but I think that the one featured on Scania's website is a prototype. SBS changed the headlight design.
I saw SBS8038R horn quite a number of times along Geylang thanx to inconsiderate pedestrians blocking the bus' way. And, it overtook a Sv 100 strider which was ahead of my scania and the horn sounded like a truck. The engine sounds like a truck too. And are the other K230UBs are cold inside. The aircon make me felt i'm in a moving fridge. -
the bus new, the AC also new, so the bus confirm will be cold. B9TL AC also very shiok when just come out, now doesn't seem that cold already (to me). 17 years down the road people might well be complaining about rattly K230UB with bad AC.Originally posted by tintinspartan:MAybe belonging to 'Cityscape Category' but I think that the one featured on Scania's website is a prototype.
