O405 CAC's are going off soon.
I wonder what will replace the entire fleet of O405 especially for services like 24 which uses only O405. Anyway, I think a refurbished LO3x has red aircon ducts. -

I wonder when will services like 24 and 145 with a all Merz O405 fleet be de-Merclized and what will replace them but I don't wish to see this happen. -

24 is not possible for K230 as CGA isn't bumper friendly. 145... may have to check with Buona Vista INT. -
I really wonder why brand new K230UBs have a bumper issue causing some to be placed on feeders and preventing the K230UBs from entering some places while our older buses do not have the bumper issue. I think SBS Transit should consider buying long buses for Service 24 to compensate for being unable to use DDs on Service 24 due to height limitations because Service 24 gets really packed.

CGA isn't bendy friendly.K230s are low-floor buses hence the bumper issue. Guess the people didn't do their homework beforehand.

Why don't SBST install perfumes into its buses? The smell of perfumes will freshen up our day and make the ride more present.

I think the newer batch of K230UBs do not have the bumper issue so the newer batch can be used on Service 24 to got into CGA but no batch 1 of K230UB camoe on 24. Service 24 have been Mercerlised for so long. High time it gets part of it de-merclised. -

You should know that some passengers are allergic to perfumes. -

I hate perfumes. Why not you take cars that have different smells and see which one u like. -
Have anyone been on any quiet Volvo MKIV Striders? I boarded 2 or three of them before and it was noisy. I been on quite a number of Volvo MKIV DM3500. Most of the DM3500s are quiet while one or two them I have boarded is/are noisy. The noisy DM3500s just need some engine tuning by the respective depot to get it quiet. Wonder if it is the same for the Striders.

Firstly Striders uses ZF, DM3500 use Voith.Secondly Strider got that super uber noisy radiator.

Maybe SBST should consider a Voith convertion for Striders. -

Currently replacing the mercz. For time being, you would see no mercz on this service except cameo buses. -

They can easily bring in more money by having more advertisments on it buses. -

Hello there.You think advertisements make up the bulk of their net profits?

Their turnover from advertisements made up of less than 5% of their total turnover in the last FY.. and obviously bus fare revenue made up the most... -
