SO i shrugged it off. But when I suddenly recalled that there is no SMRT Bus service at Tuas there. SO i turn I glanced back and to my shock.... ITS SBSTR ... they are testing the bus..... The bus is like super new. All the plastic covering the chair ar estill intact.

  Does it happen to be the OC500LE?

  Hmmm... I am really sure that The bus colour body is SBS Logo. Not SMRT..  Looks like SBS is competing....

  So you mean the headlights is of one whole single unit like those on SMRTB rather than the multiple lamps clusters with purple background found in the SBST demo which has been stuck in Pandan Loop for months???

  And meaning that there is another Mercedes Benz demo for SBST other than the one stuck in Pandan Loop???

  Plastic covering the seats. I think should be another new demo since the one at Pandan Loop had no plastic covers covering the seats.

  Which part of Tuas did you spot the new bus???

  Please show some pictures if you are able to capture some. Thanks a lot.

   

  Anyway, try to share your views in the correct thread here.

  Looking at the picture, the bus you saw looked like this or the design is different???

  Its not really part of the dress rim. I noticed some hose or wires attached to the bar, then to the tire valves. Yes, there are indeed hoses/pipes connected to the tire air valves. It seems like some Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Saw this on some KUBs as well.

  Wait wait.Dont get so excited first.Let khai_babaiyi answer vicamour's question's first.Later turn out to be that same SBST OC he saw how?Then later u will be very dissapointed.So let's all wait for him to confirm if he saw 2 different OCs though i am also hoping the one he saw is a different OC from the one in C&C.

  I think we should stop discussing abt the SBST OC here and continue discussing on it's own thread instead cuz it is really confusing and is getting mixed up with the stuff abt the SMRT OCs we post here.
