Just ytd, I saw 2 K230UB with faulty desto. Seems like these kind of electronic destos are forever prone to problems.
The Scania K230 EDSes are especially bad. EDS of Trident, VSO, MK4 not so bad. Wonder if it's of branding issue.
On side note, many of the SMRT EDSes are going from bad to worse. TIB 1246 J's EDS is like some matrix display.

In what way do you think SBST's EDS are bad on Scania K230UB buses? -

I also didn't know the usefulness of the B numbers.
What do they actually mean? -

What do they actually mean?Should be more for identification of bus stop along a stretch of road. I remembered seeing 975's next stop display showing "B06 Lim Chu Kang Road".

an alternative method of identifying bus stops. if u're travelling on the even-numbered side, the number shld decrease as you move along the road. the reverse is true for the odd-numbered side on the opposite direction. -

ok, if let's say u travel along this road, if first bus stop is B32 (even), next is B30, then B28, B26.... if you see B09 (odd), next should be B11, B13 etc etc. -
A bit disappointed with the new batch of Scanias.
The only changes made to the bus were the higher front and rear bumper and the addition of one seat behind the driver's cabin...other things are left unchanged.
There are also safety stickers on the windows above the 4 seats in the front part of the bus. While hgdep's style of fitting cameras on its Scanias can be seen on the new batch of Scanias.
Also, 8137M does not have any rego plate inside yet.

How come still no Scanias in Sengkang?

The mistake for sbstransit is to have electronic sign board on the buses. I think normal painted sign will do to cut cost. some more normal sign board display is clearer. I think the new buses should have provide more sit on the bus then standing space. many people pack in the centre of the new bus cos the bus floor is too low for them to move to the back of the bus.
by the way how many handdicap take public buses often? i wonder? if there are many then government should provide special transport service for them at a discount price, for example mpv taxi or van service at a discount rate or special coe car price for those handdicap people who can drive a car or they can share a car. car licence plate must be indicated (like o p c car plate) to allow them to park at handdicap car slot.

ppl kpkb seat cramp, so make seat wider but at the same time since bus length is fixed, ends up lesser seats... now ppl kpkb too few seats... wat do ppl want exactly? -

Just took 8137M. Gear change was fast, kept going to 6th gear. Very good.
I like the back seat, though the front row seat on the left wheel on B7RLE is miles ahead.

I wonder how BNDEP is going to deal with the shortage of buses when they start to deregister those 100+++ Scania N113 CRBs starting June this year

AMDEP can throw more Mk IV's over to BNDEP. :lol:

Being Asians, most of the drivers are not particularly tall. They might have trouble changing the destos.
Granted we have B10BLE that use plastic destos, but I think most of them are more or less permanent on certain services except for some crossovers.
