Volvo B7RLE Demonstrator: SBS8030L
-
To me I think it would be either AMDEP or BNDEP
-
There are only 5 depot in Singapore. Its 1 in 5 chance that one of the depot you choose will get it. -_-
Just dont stun everyone by coming out on NY Day like the gassies
Just a clarification on the replacement/displacement procedure.
If you are talking about fleet renewal, 200 B9s for 200 Mk2s, 500 Scania for 200 N113, 200 WA Merz and 100 DM Merz.
If you are talking about deployments, 100 B9s serve as addition, 100 B9s replace 100 Mk2s. 500 K230s replace 100 Mk2s, 200 N113s and 200 WA Merz. This means you will see new buses by the time the DM Merz START to retire -

0282D lifespan expiry 3rd Jan 2008 as mentioned by OM. I think those DM MBs would also receive 1 year life-span extension.

Actually if they don't extend the lifespan, 300 Scania can replace 300 DM O405. Then WA O405 and CAC DM O405 will be replaced by 400 more buses.
0082P goes on 1st July, 0281G goes on 1st Sep, 0282D goes on 3rd Jan, 0581R goes on 4th Nov 2009.
3723D expires 12 Oct, 3922X on 1st Apr 2009. Our CAC DM still have a loooong way to go.

i think SBS will buy Volvo B9L next
-
If they are satisfied with the B7RLE's performance they would purchase some more B7RLEs. Not like our lone L94UB.Originally posted by Bus 163 1688:i think SBS will buy Volvo B9L next -

Bus performance as in??? -
Not really sure but I think it includes passenger satisfaction as well as maintanence of the vehicle. If the B7RLE doesn't break down often it would be good.Originally posted by Bus 163 1688:ya

Heard that some of the K230 have broke downOriginally posted by Oceane:Not really sure but I think it includes passenger satisfaction as well as maintanence of the vehicle. If the B7RLE doesn't break down often it would be good.
i tought the performance you was saying is speed and how long the bus can last
It seen that Volvo going to end the order for Volvo B7RLE and Volvo B9L is to replace Volvo B7RLE -
There wasn't any demonstrator(s) for the K230UB.Originally posted by Bus 163 1688:Heard that some of the K230 have broke down

b10tls replaced lo2x... -
8033D in actual dun think can count leh. Demos normally is out first before they decide to buy or not. 8033D came out at almost the same time as the others.Originally posted by SBS8043A:u 4gt 8033d le... -
Actually I'd take 8033D as a demonstrator based on the fact that it was first bought and used to try out the bodywork and fine-tune the design for its younger brothers. As we know, it's the only chassis produced in 2006 in this batch.
If not a demonstrator, then at least a "special bus" on sgwiki. Though a very hot and shaky one. -

I'm beginning to wonder if the 500 that SBST ordered is inclusive of 8033D or just a demo that Scania sent down to SBST to try out.Originally posted by ^tamago^:Actually I'd take 8033D as a demonstrator based on the fact that it was first bought and used to try out the bodywork and fine-tune the design for its younger brothers.

now SBST can start to print more "mind your head" stickers..Originally posted by ^tamago^:Yes. Reminds me of those buses in Sentosa. Mind your head! -
Sounds like the ceiling is a good suicide toolOriginally posted by Oceane:So far, no casualties of heads knocking on ceiling reported in K230s yet. -

I think nobody that mad to board a K230 then keep knocking on ceiling with head until die...Originally posted by TIB1049L:Sounds like the ceiling is a good suicide tool
More likely he would just jump in front of the bus, like what MRT suiciders do. -
