  and hope it be joined by its brothers of maybe say, 200 units? :p. (hope they had decided to purchase the Volvos)

   And no more Gemilang bodyworked Volvos, everybody's gonna go aww.

  We can only hope.but the chance that SBST will really buy more B7RLEs is really feeble since they already bought 900 gemilang bodied kubs.haizz.this really sux man.

  Yeah. I don't want the whole singapore to be conquered by Gemilang with OC500LEs and Scania K230UB and 200 B9TLs from ComfortDelgro.

  given its condition, if 8030L stays in SBST will be very good news alr....much less than SBST buys another batch.

  If SBST order B7RLE, hopefully they can choose Voith D854.5 transmission instead ZF transmission~~

  I tried the B7RLE with Voith transmission in KL, sound nice and not too bad for the performance~~

  Well if Volvos or MANs offer more discount for their products then i see why not SBST consider them?Reliable and cheap spare parts is another issues

  Yeah.singapore is already conquered by gemilang which is very disastrous.SMRT also follow SBST and put gemilang body on the OCs.there are so many more other bodies which they can try out.but of all the bodies they choose,why must it everytime be gemilang?

  They sound malaysian? haha

  But the bodywork of KL's B7RLE looks nicer than the Gemilangs we have.

  its a trend.. when sbst had WA bodied volvos, tibs had WA bodied daf and L113..

  then when tibs had volgren merc and hino, sbst had volgren volvos..

   

  now its the gemilang war..

  btw, is gemilang located at Batu Pahat??

  Don't see SBST had Hispano bodied buses though :D

  But the probable reason why SMRT seems to follow the trend is because

  1) the bodybuilder have a good reputation in other counties (volgren, WA). For Gemilang  -> refer to K230UB thread for tamago's posting on Gemilang

  2) It's been tested/proven by SBST or SMRT so they feel it's ok to follow suit. Makes sense since 900 of SBST's Scanias are going to be bodied by them anyway.

  smrt should have kept with hispano or volgren.. but price is another factor..

  But to me the B7RLE's Soon Chow bodywork seems far nicer ... ...

  don't realy want to see Gemilangs to dominate entire Singapore, no matter SBST or SMRT ... ...
