  Scania K-series - Wikipedia:

  CAAS ordered 4 Scania K230UB with Euro V engine and Soon Chow bodywork similar to SBS Transit's Volvo B7RLE. It operates free shuttle from Terminal 3 to Budget Terminal. City Sightseeing in Singapore ordered 5 Scania K230UB with Euro IV engine. It consists of 2 batches, batch 1 is blue and green in colour, batch 2 is brown, orange and white.

  Think service 119's layover in Sengkang is also around 3-5 mins too.

  Also to add on that service 159 was officially a Toa Payoh loop at Sengkang service when it was under AMDEP last time. It was then HGDEP took over full control on service 159 which made it back to Sengkang - Toa Payoh.

  119 doesnt do jump bus. So its layover time in Sengkang is purely based on the scheduled break or meal break. This ranges between 5min and 33min.
  
  Under 159 amdep there was a period of time when it was not a loop service.

  Those Hippos with the modern Soon Chow bodywork is confirmed K230UB.

  CAAS have Euro V KUBs? That needs to be investigated. But from what I know, there's no such thing.

  There are only 3 Scania K230UBs in Hippotours fleet right now, and this have been discussed half a year ago...in the quiz thread. PA7143E (Snow White), PA7187D (Cookie) and PA7316Z (Julius). There are also 2 Scania L94UB4X2s in the same bodywork. PA6432C (Bingo) and PA6433A (Kermee).

  Don't believe the CAAS crap, I go to Airport regularly, and do not know of any T3-BT service, the T2-BT service uses Woodlands Transport's LT134Ps/SC Evolution. There is no airside service to BT.

  What is done cannot be undone. And I don't think you should keep talking to your own self. Not a very good sign.
