  Wow! I also don't like K230UBs and good news for me also! But I thought BNDEP is getting the MKIV DM3500s from SLBP? Anyway, weather its DM3500s or B7Rs, its good news for me.

  Has SBST confirmed the order for B7RLE yet?

  K230 is also a no-no for me... Hope HGDEP BBDEP and SLBP can absorb more of the K230s.

  How many seats does a B7RLE has?

  actually K230 not bad wad...can go up to 65 already not bad lor. but comparing B7RLE and K230, B7RLE is way better in terms of horsepower. and it's nice to see 174 K230s getting the wheelchair sticker on the windscreen

  I have a feeling the 84XX series are for the 2 western depots, while the 81XX is for Hougang, Ang Mo Kio and Bedok North (Provided Ang Mo Kio and Bedok wants the Scanias).

  I think AMDEP and BNDEP will not want the Scanias as AMDEP and BNDEP are not bumper friendly.

  if amdep is not bumper friendly, explain how the Scanias appeared in amdep in the first place, and explain how 3624G managed to get out of amdep while it was doing its test runs.

  sometime it is better to keep quiet instead of posting nonsense. If AMDEP is not bumper friendly, then Sv 265/268 must be parking along the roadside instead of starting their trips from AMDEP.

  LOL.. in the morning the bc steps into a mobile crane to tap card, then the crane lifts the bus out of the pool. commuters shall expect a soaking wet bus where the aircon spits water at them. =P

  I believe that the new EDS programming was used so that it would better inform pax about which road the bus passes before reaching their final destination Eg: for sv100 Front EDS
  
  Aljunied Rd
  > Ghim Moh
  
  Beach Rd
  > Ghim Moh 
  
  Telok Blangah Rd
  > Ghim Moh
  
  Queensway
  > Ghim Moh
  
  The side EDS now "flashes" a pair of roads instead of "running"
  The new EDS apparently is used only by HGDEP, SLBP, BBDEP, ARBP WAB buses, BRBP 60,63 still at the moment shows the Terminal, Interchange on the front EDS.

  I have a feeling that HGDEP might send some Mark IVs over to BNDEP after getting a larger share of K230UBs. Remember the time when SLBP have sent some Mark IVs over to BNDEP after getting K230UBs?

  correct me if I'm wrong.
