think they now just registered the buses which are ready and then deployed immediately. instead of registering 10 buses in consecutive rego, then wait one or two weeks then slowly deployed them. waste the road tax paid.. -

But rather, its about the problem of shortage of buses in the fleet.

SBS8888D was out with the batch that started revenue service on the first day. But there's no SBS8887G or SBS8889B.
SBS84XX, at the moment, refers to a series (SBS8433H to SBS8483M and SBS8485H to SBS8491P) reserved for buses assembled earlier by SC Auto (with same bodywork). -

i think that 8887G and 8889B will be part of the Euro 5 KUBs

They need to finish it before the end of the year. Heard that the list of services getting the next 400 sets is set. -
Looks like SC Auto better complete their job, or else cant meet deadline.

Yea, not a demo or anything.
But the first batch of K230UBs which has a rego from 88XX series instead of 80XX =p -

nvm. actually each of us have our own defintion of special. yep. -
SBS8888D and SBS8138K in fact were registered on the same day (19 Oct 2007) together with the other 803x series.
I think SBST likes the number "8" and seems that some demonstrators were registered with lots of "8"s in them (eg. 1688, 2888, 2988, 9888, 9889 etc). And also when the new Scania K230UBs were brought into the roads, SBST would rather register 8138 and 8888 1st instead of in sequence.
