  Black isn't a bright color. At least on wheels, it looks horrible. red and white is bright,then wheels so black.

  Well, let's move on. It's part of a livery after all.

  Let us now hope that the new public bus companies that LTA introduces in the near future don't make this kind of blunder.

  youre right. like that then better paste 'paper plates' to the side informing the destination. save much more costs. only a few dollars used, marker + A4 paper

  anyway, the OMV of this bus is S$363 542..cost more than the K230, athough this might not be that accurate.

  wow asian bodywork so expensive, if volgren or custom coaches, maybe around 38K. but maybe KUBs cheaper bcos they buy in a big bulk. could be that reason. who knows.

  But if you are referring to the total height of the bus, yes. And the last row seat height, yes.

  Actually if u looked carefully at one of the breakdown pics posted by tamago (the one with the habit and oc500le), it seems that the habit has a lower bumper than the oc500le. Or is it a optical illusion?

  OMV is Open Market Value la not bodywerk.You're one hell of empty barrel.

  Regarding about the black rims its the company choice.New bus give u ride complain so much for what?You got invest 3 million dollars to puchase all the new buses is it?Even the seniors here dun make much noise but u and other kiddos always grumble.Life has to go on.What if SBST wanted to paint the KUBs rims to purple?You want to boycott is it?Pls lar act like a true bus fans.Whether you like it or not i rest my case.

  Is the rim guard being removed when you saw it around that time?

  I saw it at Chinatown area at around 7pm when that bus is going towards NBR Terminal, with rim guard being removed, at least for offside..

  bus nice nice, paint black rims. then take out rim guard. i feel that this OC500LE is by far the 'best' demonstrator bus. i wish SBST doesnt have their itchy hands removing the MAN rims. just keep it like what it is.
