  yeah. every morning I take Svc 100 to work and normally SBS 8138K will be there. For the whole Week, I see SBS 927C there. Throughout the journey, I see many non K230UBs on the opposite side..

  
  Today's spottings noticed SBS693B and SBS1900Y back to service 100, though there are still some Scania K230UBs in the fleet.

  The "two spaces" you are referring to are the wheel axles.  This design is prevalent for buses with zero step feature, like the Volvo SBS1688M and the B9TLs...even our SMRT new WAB buses too...the SMB1H

  They take up space...I agree.  But the design of the bus is as such...

  Thanks

  
  As such is it possible for the installation of luggage racks? Just asking

  SBS8235M to SBS8245J, SBS8488A to SBS8491P registered today

  SBS8234R & SBS8244L are skipped =.=

  U would realised that the rego ends with digit 4 are skipped (from 8224 onwards)

  should be possible, seeing that the SBST Leisure Scania L113CRLs had luggage racks (i think). only problem is that they're not likely to be used much, unless the bus plies on a service going to the airport.

  Good. I knew that they were going to take in some more. (:

  But I wonder why they are skipping all the regos with the number 4... can't be a coincidence that all the chassis for these 4 VINs are not ready yet?

  Yea. I agree. It's possible. But i doubt we're going to see it. Its going to affect deployment flexibility if done.

  there are 3 more new K230 in AMDEP as well. 8481/8482/8483. all come in today as well.
  as for the other question, i cant answer as well.. let see the following few weeks whether the same trend will follow or not..

  why not put some KUB on svc 18 since BNDEP got already. currently it is a short-haul route with packing passengers like sardines every afternoon peak hours.

  Did I put 8030 in my earlier post?

  Did I state "why they reg ALL the demos..." in my earlier post?

  When will 36 get them cause all SBST Airport Services to have WAB perms.

  32, 33 and 66 get them to remove their ageing Scania N113CRB fleet of long haul routes.

  thanks, i think BNDEP should react fast as the KUB are great for serving short-haul routes

  That remind me of SBS 444D. These buses seems to have a better luck then other buses.
