yes. i think 1, 3 and 5 have a common gear being used in the planetary gear system... or maybe the same solenoids being used...

ya, but the sound should only come out from ZF gearbox and not W3E? -
Originally posted by chickenlittle2:

They don't belong to SBST, SBST sort of transferred SBSL's business to Comfort Bus, which is now ComfortDelgro Bus.

then when those Soon Chow MK4 expires, their own ComfortDelgro buses (Isuzu Pte Hire Bus) will most likely take over e Turf Club Shuttle. -

i think it goes straight(where all cars turn right to head to marina barrage) and makes a u-turn at the road end.
at least this is what i can decipher as i drove to marina barrage last week. -
why volvo Mk4 DM3500 buses make a "squeaky" sound when they start moving off? for example, SBS2749L.

What choice of colours would you prefer if SMRT repainted its buses' livery? (Im just curious to noe..)
