The 1990 DAF SB220 buses had two-stepped entrances and exits (much like their similarly-bodied Mercedes MB O405 colleagues).
the 1994/5 (?) DAF SB220 buses were basically the same buses, but the floor height was reduced on this version - they have one-stepped entrances and exits (like the Dennis Lance buses).
Higher floor translates into more space underfloor to position the mechanics of the bus. The 1994/5 version had a lowered floor, which meant less space for the innards of the bus to be positioned underneath. I could guess that the radiators for both versions of the bus were similar in size, but with the lowered floor in the 1994/5 version, there simply wasn't enough space underneath for the radiator (after factoring in the other mechanical parts, most likely). I guess they had no choice but to design a bulge in the front to accomadate the radiator.

How do Cityshopper Services BC stop for a break? I see the bus going round and round. The bus doesn't seem to terminate, one of it is Cityshopper 576.

If im not wrong they do go for breaks at the nearby Interchanges , like 576 it will go to Tampines Interchange to rest..

i think you should do some soul-searching for your brains. If you see the Mighty Minds bus Guide then you will see that the parking part is the nearest interchange.Rest and break oso the nearest interchange. get it?
And because you don't expect 576 to go past Bedok,so it got to go to the same as the start bus stops to terminate.(575 oso)All the others go for the opposite bus stops(579 at Simei for exception).

The person who needs some soul-searching is yourself. You think that things that you know, others "must" know? Let me tell you something, don't let anyone here find out that you are asking something that they know and you don't, cause if they do, you'll end up like them.
