When the bus stopping or accelerating quite jerky. Ya, i also fear the safety of PIWs in the Scanias, but still there isn't any injuries so far.Surprise : Euro V version to have the PIW seatbelts found in the OC gemilang? hmm

Maybe one of the surprises in the Euro V batch - Swing plug front doors with handrails at the entrance (something like the high floor coach) so that the ah mas can next pull themselves up and cause the bus body to break.
If two piece plug doors, one of the doors will hit whatever is in front of the bus.

Maybe make it a sliding door instead, like what the UD got, anyway, the part is also the axle, maybe techinally impossible, pls correct me.

okay, looks like you still are not finished.
its called dumping of crap from good depots to SLBP cos its the far end of the earth and has the poorest maintenance just look at PSV SCs. ( i'm sure people agree with me that its maintenance isnt good ) and therefore deserves it.
besides sv 30, 154, 157, 174, 185, 193, 194, 198, 502. because
1. goes out of Boon Lay
2. has other depot controls
3. plies to various tourist attractions
sv 30 and 154 covers all 3.other than those, the rest should be dumped crap according to its demand.
as high utilization would mean things wear out faster so no point putting nice buses which will be poorly treated and wear out faster. make sense?

Nope....not at all.
It does not explain HG and the tridents.
Manteinance on the tridents are not much better (ignore the spare parts issue here).
Edit: I mean....it takes donkey years to replace things like EDS backlights, rearlights. And I'm not exaggerating....its really YEARS. And tridents being laid-up is not something uncommon.

I feel it that the PSV SCs are ok leh equal to AMDEP LO3x. At least they are better than the turf city one.
Dunno wat u talking abt sv 30, 154, 157, 174, 185, 193, 194, 198, 502? and I think doesn't make sense.
merc in AMDEP = 45.2%
merc in SLBP = 18.3%
merc + LO2x in SLBP = 47%
Nt much diff. Quite rare to see AMDEP VO3x, B9TL on city roads.
K230UB batch 1 transfer from HGDEP is ok. SLBP got the least intake of batch 1 compared to HGDEP & AMDEP who took alot. SLBP had done serious cleaning on these buses by using cleaning formula for the interior.

okay then, let SLBP handle the tridents.
its basically cos SBST doesnt know how to maintain their tridents. in fact i think they dun even know how to rectify the problems by the tridents.

Nv see but obvious smell. Intially, it was transfer over, SBS 8130G was very dirty. juz 2 weeks ago SBS 8130G on svc 185 it is clean.. At least for most of the KBU under SLBP, they care to clean the dirty dust at the A/C vents. -

Svc 30 &154 plies to various tourist attractions? Hwa par Villa?Like closing down leh. I hope that I am not offending anyone by saying this but it is the true. Every BC also say that Svc 154 had been taking older buses. -

I have no idea.....don't tell me they dont know how to mantain the PSV MKIVs as well.
As far as I know, the tridents are mantained worse than the PSVs if possible.
