So far the general public view of K230s on airport services wasn't too good. Alot of people are complaining that there are lesser seats, meaning they got to stand for the journeys throughout the expressways.I hope that with K230 on airport services, fleet addition can occur so as to
1) reduce the waiting time
2) give more seats to tired passengers who have taken a long journey on the plane.
Like that, they can exchange it with strider, DM3500 or even MK3. -

This is excatly what I have said. I rather have a 15 years old Mark III rather than a K230. Mark III good acceleration. -
i just noticed the newer batch of scanias are fitted with an extra pair of seats behind the driver's cabin.

You can still see out the side, or the left door. Seeing out the left door will enable you to see bus stop number, which you can remember to tell when to stop.Originally posted by SBS7484P:

Too bad it did not inherit the VO2X.

Hannor. 130 used to use LA's too, if I remember correctly. The merc's on 135 are always so packed nowadays.... could be Upp Aljunied Rd is no longer suitable for DD's.

130 had LAs and O305s. But no more after the buses retired.

1st day BCs driving all very nervous one. I've seen it on 53 also. There would be another BC following some Scanias to guide the drivers along their route during the first day. -

Lets stop this arguement. For DD, SBST can buy buses like B10TL. You should know that a B10TL's floor is slopped to the back, which is good.
