  As those bus spotters , you guys know that some of the old buses will be retired soon . The question is : Do you all want to see more Volvo buses or a different brand ?
  
  If you choose the different brand , Which one and why ?
  
  Well , I would love to see Scanias with 2888 engines because that bus is quiet , speedy and non-jerky . I hope they use Volgren body for the new low floor buses .

  I hope that more low floor buses are introduced to SBST Fleet, especially Scania L94UB or other types of low floor buses. By the way, Scania buses do run smoothly, except those old N113s made Captain feels so irritated.

  B10TL.....may a fire sweep through the factory that bodies these heaps... (Moderators: don't like it? Arrest me then , but i live in a FREE country)
  
  L113s are no longer in production, has been replaced with 2 chassii, the 94 series and the 124 series.
  
  The O.405 series is no longer in production, and has been superceded by the OC500LF low floor chassis. There's no hub reduction either, but it is an option.

  Darryl, I've found some documents showing that the Mercedes Hispano Bendys (TIB 973- TIB 1001) are actually Mercedes Citaro. I guess the company just modify the buses to meet their needs.

  I can teach you how to find it. However, as it is from the search engine of TIBS wesbsite, it is not convenient for me to say it out here.
