Only saw 2.50pm on folded timesheet. SL was generous to let me explore, but a bit hesitant to show timesheet, so didn't insist, thanked him and got off. He also said the bus was pleasant to drive. Route details is also displayed from rear.
EDS, DVA chinese built. Confirmed ZF gearbox.

The bus may be running whole day if depending from the 2.50pm time from the timesheet? -

At Bedok Int for break.
Last row only four seats. Be prepared to face some vibration if sitting there. Not at front though.

So is it a boxer or transverse motor? I know the Lynx and LO3X had different variants of the L series.
ISL is totally different than L10, ISL have only 8.9L, and L10 have 10L displacement, and ISL is develop from C series (C 8.3 and the later version ISC)~~ -

I think the bus is running a lot faster than 80mins.
It was back at Jalan Eunos/Sims Avenue East junction towards Bedok at noon, when it was supposed to have arrived at Yishun only at 1055.
It takes only 10 minutes thereon to arrive at Bedok. That is only 75 minutes between 1055 and 1210. Travel time is more like 65 minutes only.

I'm going to catch it with Lameomaster. Should reach Bedok by 1430

Yes the 2.50pm timing is Bedok Int. Forgot to mention it earlier.

to anyone who's taken it: i think the question on the public and all amateurs' minds (as well as mind) is this: does this china bus feel flimsy? i remb taking a yutong bendy in beijing in 2006. the rubber joint between the carriages sounded like it'll tear apart.

A short review.
Took it with my classmate from Yishun on the 11am+ trip. Configuration of the bus is simlar to Batch 2 K230s, just that it has 4 seats at the back compared to the usual 5. Seat belts installed for the middle 2 seats in th last row. It was quite cramp seating at the last row.
Seat colour: Red for the needy, light brown for the standard seats. The light brown colour was very plain and dull. You can hear noise when people position themselves on the seats. Haha.
No interior rego. Some squeaking sounds when rear door functions. Interior as usual, looks very home made from China, got those ventilation windows, etc.
Destination and service number on rear EDS, and can even scroll. Format is the same as the front side EDS. Number on the right. Which meas you see the same thing for front, side and rear. Wierd.
ZF gearbox for sure. Sounds like OC or some say 8030L.
Luckily not too much announcements along te way. The bus was not very quiet imo. Bus jerks when stops. Loud handbrakes (reminds me of bbdep buses).
Out of 10, I would probably give a 6. I didn't really enjoy the ride. Haha.

There are four potential area of problems, all which has to look out in the long-term :
- Seat covers. Poor choice of colour, and I afraid it might not last long.
- Vibration of the bus (which already can be felt at the rear)
- Very long safety instructions pasted on side panels. Won't be useful in a real emergency. Might be standard in China, though
- Coolair-like EDS. No need to say more. -
-
i will take any OCs over this bus
-
after looking at sgbuses pic and the first page pic, there seems to be some differences... main one is the rims.

The bus front looks abit like Hino demo to me.
