Hmm, same loh... Morning was nice, should have saw how the bus was packed 100% and speeding down Bukit Timah at 60km/h...Originally posted by ^tamago^:potshot. wat to do. today sunlight cmi, and high chance it'll be a while before the bus is out again. see the road clear just whack liao.
yeah. went all the way back to boon lay.
And then Holland Rd, 60km/h...
And its, 174e somemore, really packed...
Heard got train disruption eh... -
The front top looks a bit like the MK4s
-
Arh . Found out that the seats were Vogelsitze's Pino seats . The B9TLs and Scanias as well as most of SMRT buses uses the System 650 seats i think .
-
May I know the reason? Is it due to the position of the engine?Originally posted by sBs_boy:There is a reason on why the back of the bus is design in this way. -
After reading reviews, do you think that there high possibility that the B7RLE will be mass ordered?
or would it be like our poor Sbs2888T -
I think this bus is only SD having the light fixed near the top at the front?
-
Somehow it struck me that this bus looked strangely similar to the DM3500. Eeks! Doesn't make it look like a lowfloor at all.
-
Same thoughts here, somehow the side of the bodywork looks like DM3500 with smaller wheels. Maybe its due to the high windows and body work trimmings (the rounded edges at the edges near the ground)Originally posted by Superbus:Somehow it struck me that this bus looked strangely similar to the DM3500.

The bodywork looks so far so good for my opinion, but it's still ugly for the front~~Originally posted by ^tamago^: -

yes. it rocks big time. whistle very loud, like B9TL.Originally posted by service_238:wa lao.. front ugly.. back ugly.. kinda like the interior...
wonder how's the performance. heard from off_service that it rocks
i'm getting used to the front already. i dun think it's ugly anymore. -
Same here. I believe after this trial SBST might order more (in the hundreds) to replace the remaining O405s.Originally posted by ^tamago^:yes. it rocks big time. whistle very loud, like B9TL.

The bus is nice especially the front part... like transformers
Unfortunately, I don't like the back view. it's a bit weird
I really hope SBST order more of this bus... maybe about 150 ? -
