  It is small,but this is not the reason that SBST rejected the OC

  As for the SMRT OC EDS, compare SMB1H (Which is the demo) with the production OCs

  SMB1H vs. Production OCs (Click both of the links,see both of the OCs side EDS)

  wah seriously the side EDS very small

  I mean... Look at the photos of the SBST OC... Small enough to only fit "12 Bedok-Clementi" SMRT OC EDS isn't that small, is it? 

  
  Demonstrators are demonstrators for a reason.......

  Since u say K310UB is similar to SBS997A, can I conclude that:

  Scania K2xxUB= 2-axle SD

  Scania K3xxUB= 3-axle SD

  Scania K3xxUD= 3-axle DD

  don't jump to conclusions. you read up more before posting such crap here.

  for those who are still unsure about the Scania chassis labelling system, here it is.

  for example, K230UB 4x2

  first letter - engine positioning.
                     K: longitudinal engine mounted behind rear axle
                     N: transverse engine mounted behind rear axle
                     L: longitudinal engine mounted behind rear axle, inclined 60-deg leftward
  L-series engine is no longer available now.

  middle 3 numbers - horsepower output of engine (eg. 230, 270/280, 310/320)

  last 2 letters - type of bus
                          UA: articulated bus, urban usage
                          UB: normal bus, urban usage
                          UD, double-decker bus, urban usage
                          IB: intercity bus
                          EB: long distance coaches

  well, the "4x2" in this example simply means that, total 4 wheels, with 2 wheels being driven. hence, to determine whether the bus is a 2-axle or 3-axle, you've to check with this system.

  5187-5190 deployed out.. now pending 5213/5215/5216/5217 which was still not deployed till now. think when these 4 is out, a few more merc will gone.... i think most likely they will stop at lay up for the merc from 49* onwards...

  never see 478G for quite a while.. if that's the case the ad can last till early July. This ad its likely a 2 month contract. Very prone to go off if amdep takes in the final batch of EEVs.

  479D survived! thought amdep will layup according to rego but judging from previous trend it doesnt hold true all the time.

  There's still 485 487 they can cull.. very chao kwan.. kope brbp buses to cull first their own bus cull later... zzz

   If 5187-5190 deployed out, then likely 475 476 480 485 486 487 (any 4) zao liao..

  For 5213/5215/5216/5217 to come out, 479 483 491 494 (or lesser) have to zao.

  476 still alive. but i think 475 is gone case? 5187-5190 most likely replace 465/466/472/3917...5215 still without ezylink reader as of yesterday. still got 5103-5110 not yet deployed as well. so roughly around 10 merc will be gone from AMDEP?
