found out that there is another display method besides pasting on windscreen and slotting in... today took 8440L on 185 for WAB logo is by using 2 plastic hooks that can be stickable to the windscreen, punch 2 holes on WAB logo and then hang onto it.

I mentoned it before @ "Did you know". It was also on some svc 174 bus too.

Does anybody know the status of SBS8074K? Thanks.

btw one qn here, actually my mother asked it, why dont they put the yellow sticker on the batch 1 & 2 KUBs? Since the batch 3 has it, why dont they retrofit the earlier batches with the stickers so as to ensure safety?

Probably too costly and troublesome to take the buses out to retrofit. Same reason why batch 1 has no seat?

Does this mean that this 300 scanias will have a different bodywork?

Hope so. But most likely is retaining Gemilang bodywork and the Scania front.

They didn't say that. They are just asking for tenders to help assemble the new buses that's all.
