B10TLs (9801Y-9849K) were initially under amdep. Late 2004, amdep transfered some over to bndep in exchange for LO3X & VO3X. -

Don't wish. This will only happen if you work in SBST and in charge of making decisions. You can't change the fact. -

And I just wish that you would have some common sense.27 is under Hougang so how the heck can it be under BNDEP.
36 is under BNDEP due to its route towards Marina area and it makes no sense for it to be HGDEP-controlled.
Common sense...

B10TLs are shared between AMDEP, BRBP and BNDEP. -

Service 27 used to be under BNDEP in the past, remember those Scania N113CRBs on service 27. -

It is confirm that SC Auto is helping SBST to assembly the bodywork for 100 K230s (rego: SBS8433 to SBS8532). Think HGBA cant cope with the assemblying of 400 K230s in one year.

Some of the Volvo MK3/MK4 based bus services under HGDEP (eg. 34, 119, 156,. 163) have started getting 1-2 Scania K230UB perms, could be the possible case. Just wait for a few months and see the outcome.if u look at Sgwiki, it state that HGDEP only got one SP MK IV. No SP MK III at HGDEP. I know sgwiki might not be correct, cos some more MK III/IV are now SP from Sv 34/156/163. But it do seem like that there are not enough SP MK III/IV at HGDEP? Thus HGDEP is now deploying K230 on Sv 119/156/163 to make more MK III/IV SP to increase the number of SP buses. Sv 105 should be getting K230 from HGDEP to release more MK IV as SP.

Just to share with everyone, I had my first K230 ride on 232 yesterday and I hate it more now. The ZF whine is sooooo loud for which I don't know why. MKIV Strider also uses ZF but the whine on Strider is so much softer and shorter and more comfortable. I've mentioned about the high rear and lack of seats before. At the low floor area, I noticed that some space around the side EDS is wasted by some things which I don't know how to describe.

then i guess you have to continue hating them for the next 17-19 years. -

oh.. so different it by 81XX and 84XX. -
I can see that they are planning to convert Svc 185 to WAB service. Besides lately, they smooth the hump at JW st 2X. They also do some amendment to the bus stop outside JJC.

I didn't know the Striders are now using the same gearbox as the K230s.
Why didn't anyone inform me??!

must say clearly, wait he misunderstood again..maybe ask SBST to change it to those Scooter's tyre.. Can save space.. and we are still waiting for him to design that "low floor all the way to the back" bus leh.. someone given him an assignment to design that but now still no news. Maybe he still cracking his brain to think... -

The Striders vs. KUB may not be a very good example because Striders use 4 speed and I apologize. Look at the B9TL which uses 6 speed ZF same as KUB. Hardly any whine can be heard on B9TL -

2nd batch from 8132 to 8532 (exclude 8138). So the last 100 buses is from 8433 to 8532.
