I don't hope for it somehow. I just feel that 145 has high demand (just look at one pulling out of TPY and you know), and K230s would be suicidal as there will be an extreme lack of seats. They should convert to full Mark III actually. -

They should convert to full Mark III actually.Converting to full Mk3 is even more sucidal. What 145 really need is a low bridge 10.3m Trident. For now, Merc is enough, Mk3s (33 standing pax) has less standing capacity than a Merc (around 46 to 50, total cap. 86) and will move less people.

Service 145 ever had a Volvo MK3 fleet somewhere in 1997-1998, after which it went back to Merc fleet again when AMDEP/BRBP transferred out all the Volvo MK3s.Btw why DDs are not introduced on service 145?

Apparently it's the area near Depot Rd with some low tree branches. I suppose that could be why 195 received 999U for trial... -
Spotted SBS8170R on sv24 twds AMK Int at Junction of Still Rd South near the mosque 2141hrs

I find it quite strange that SBST bought so many SD WABs, shouldn't they have more DD WABs? Population increase
Rem there are insufficient WAB DDs to go around?
in addition, i believe SBS7397K is sv174 PERM -

Another reason DDs not introduced as an increase in frequency would be better to meet the customer demand. Similar to that for sv135.
Do note that for sv145 capacity, it maybe high demand for only certain stretches of the route... -
All in good time. These SD WABs are the replacements for the SDs which have been/going to retire. I believe there will be orders for more DD WABs in the future.

in addition, i believe SBS7397K is sv174 PERMDD WaBs can only ferry 1 wheelchair so SBST buy more SD WABs easier to alight lol. But to my opinion,these SD Wabs should have more seats as they will waste capacity lol.

i've been taking 161 and 168 with DDs and can pass through bec i stay in Tampines lol
take 161:take 72 to HG and transfer to 161
Take 168: Tampines Library to take bus 168 lol
161 and 168 deploy DDs bec these svcs passes by long streches of expressways.

Well, have to wait a bit longer. East district, especially BNDEP, seems to refuse to take in the new Scanias.
Besides Service 105 BCs receiving Scania SD training, Service 109 BCs also had the same kind of training today. Info from a letter pasted outside the office at Serangoon Interchange. -

by now most bbdep and hgdep drivers are K230 trained.
