  From what I heard over from some friends in Malaysia, IVECO is expensive, not really suited for tropical climate. Plus, you want IVECO, no more. Now IVECO and Renault merge to become Irisbus. Irisbus Citelis FTW!

  just wondering, is hispano bdywrk with scania/volvo/MB chassis expensive?

  Wondering right...are the Gemilang bodied buses using electrically operated doors like the O405Gs MK II and Hispano Habits?

  If they are, is it only SMRT/SBST or both companies using it?

  I wonder why SBST don wan buy OC500LEs, when they are so good, and so power, and they bought K230UB, why they don't want to buy K310UB?

  The K310UB IS a single deck low floor chassis. The double deck one is the K310UD. Of which ComfortDelgro-Cabcharge (the Australian one) has erm 30 K310UB6X2 (ie 14.5m 3 axles) and 1 K310UB4X2 (ie 12m 2 axles).

  When you are travelling at 60km/h speed-limited, you will wonder what's the use of such a powerful engine.

  all 161 buses will have to go back to HGDEP for refuel in the middle of the day, due to long runs on the expressway.

  issue is cost and another thing do you really need it? 310bhp I think should rather be on DD (I do hope K310UD would appear in SBS's fleet)

  e K310UB in Aussie are for Superlong bus (3x)

  Do chinese BCs get any incentives for working on CNY? Like double pay? Or is it treated like just another working day for them?

  How about Hari Raya and Deepavali?
