I wonder by saying SBST trying to act like SMRT is more harsh than my words?Which company would want to act like another company. -_-'''

Glad that at least you know why the side EDS was placed upwards.Originally posted by AEW5001:Trying to act SMRT?
Childish comment. Acting even more childish with that thumbs down icon.So SMRTB is acting like SBST because the service no. on the front EDS changed from left to right, to "copy" SBST format???
If you have nothing constructive to say, then just stop participating in the conversation.

Anyway, took this on SBS8454 on svc 24.
Note the additional poles on the top of the stanchion poles. Looks like additional structures to hold the existing stanchion poles to reduce the vibrating effect. Looks like AMDEP is trying to do some improvements in the interior now.
However, it doesn't seems to work very well as the stanchion pole beside the first PIW rest as it is still vibrating while moving. Mr Tamago, please take note of this.
Hope that the EURO IVs can also remove one PIW area for more seats.
Took SBS8580 on svc36 last week. Overall the EURO Vs are better than the EURO IVs, and can hear the faint turbo whistle sound, reminds me of the old N113s. The engine noise sounds "heavier" than the EURO IVs. But what pissed me off is the stuffy air con. Hope that they tweak it to make it better.
Is the air con on the EURO Vs by Sutrak, since the on roof air con pod looked like the Volvo B10M MKIV DM3500's type???

The thing is cool! Never seen it before... Is it only a few AMDep buses or will it be progressively be introduced into the existing KUB fleet?

Chin-up bar
I agree to the idea of removing 1 PIW area and add in 3 more seats there. Furthermore not many wheelchair-bound passengers tend to take bus. And another thing is that most of the WAB buses are deployed on the non-WAB routes where drivers don't even let wheelchair passengers board though there are the WAB features. So what's the point?
Perhaps luggage racks should also be introduced on those Scania K230UBs which are deployed on the bus services that goes to Changi Airport.
Btw is it possible for SBST to add in a granny seat to all the Batch 1 K230UBs??

Think sooner or later HGDEP will transfer away all the remaining 17 Euro IV Batch 1 K230UBs (maybe not SBS8888D) to either SLBP or BBDEP once the Euro Vs goes into HGDEP

i believe it is possible. But in economical sense may not be economical. -

Impossible due to security issue just like the new trainsInstall that 1 seat behind the BC makes no diff. Only if they remove replace with seats on one of the PIW area in Euro 4 and that would be better.

Just a question. I have noticed the new Euro V seating arrangement and the 3 new seats which were one of the two KUB Wheelchair bay in the Euro IV. Why didn't SBST make it like SMRT Buses? Whereby the seats were forward facing and in two rows. It can become 4 seats without compromising much on the standing area.

Having 1 PIW space still makes sense. HK's buses also have 1 PIW slot too, but we can't argue with SBST's intention about 2 PIW friends travelling together. Pros and cons now.Better not to install luggage rack. In the past they had the luggage racks on the MRT but it took up standing space and also people do get jumpy when worrying if their luggage get stolen from the rack.
It's technically possible to add the granny seats (probably two granny seats side by side like the current Euro V. But then they need to add replace the plastic module covering the wheel etc.

Yeah.Many WA Mecrs will be going off soon this year.Maybe,SLBP would take in a few Euro 5s to replace this outgoing WA Mercs or replace other buses such as the Leylands which would replace the WA Mercs when they are scrapped.
But there are many refurbished OAC DM and CAC DM Mercs in SLBP. And somemore,the unrefurbished ones are all getting refurbished now.Since almost all these Mercs are refurbished and staying,wouldn't they take up quite a lot of space? -

More standing area and more spacious. -

If not the depot will be packed.
Or they can take in many and give out a few.
Actually to SLBP it doesn't really matter much since they have much lesser units of WA merc compared to BR/AM.
