  muz feel the move off and brake. Dunno is the BC I took 2 days ago very pro. For the entire trip, it did not jerk forward when it move off. Feel like something locking it. So I guess HGDEP done something to it.

  Expect some surprises for the Euro V version. The prototype is being finalised by Gemilang.
  
  Meanwhile, would you all like to count the number of grips on the buses and try to find a pattern? Is it 35, 36, 37 or 38 of them?

  833* onwards (except 8433 to 8491) has unique kinds: The signal sound 'Doors closing' and the hand grips painted with yellow "pls do not touch as it's dangerous' than the old batches: 8033 to 832* and 8433 to 8491, 8888,  If got another chance, dun miss it.

  8074 also have this feature (caution on hand grips) but the original Door closing bell remains.

  the ones with yellow pole stickers(8301-8432, 8492-85xx), their door closing sounds is much different than 8034-8300 and 8433-8491. it is like as if dragging so long.

  I took 8305, 8308 and 8310 all don't have the yellow pole stickers. If I'm not wrong, it starts at 8311 onwards.

  We can't exactly see the blueprints of the prototype.....right?

  Hope the surprises include

  1) More seats...but i doubt so (foldable seats @ PIW area will work if Singaporeans are more graceful because the seat and stand - the person want to seat but the standing person block.)

  2) Less vibrations from the engine being amplified to the bodywork and the grab poles...oh Gosh i don't want to have my head being rattled to pieces whenever i take 174 to Plaza Singapura. Even with the new type Vogelsitze with some comfy cushion... There'll be no comfort on seating if theres a pneumatic drill under your comfortable armchair. Proof -> Current OC500LEs with very little vibration and similar cushioning and the Hispano Habits's front section (little to no vibrations at all! <3).

  3) a more attractive interior colour scheme (people's taste varies, but i find brown + Gemilang + Scania + vibrations a pretty bad combo.)

  4) Voice announcements -_-;

  5) Different front/back design from Scania, something similar to 8030L XD....500 of the current design is abit bland le.

  fresh and original, but abit too much purple everywhere. maybe a little bit less purple.

  Pastel blue interior is the best.
