Another video recording of
SMB388S on 190 - MAN NG363F A24 (SMRT Buses)
Voith DIWA D884.5 transmission

There's a soft "voith whistle" when the bus brakes, though not as loud as other buses with voith transmission. Gearchange is smooth and not so jerky compared to the MAN A22. -

Anyway I shall stop here. I was merely making a harmless casual remark. Don't understand why people choose to start a sarcastic comment to provoke others. -

And horh, why did BIS even go down to snap at BPJ on the 2nd day? When he already got a shot on the first day? You think his picture still don't care about angle? Priest lah..when SMB388S stopped, he snap once and adjusted his tripod again to snap another shot. Somemore he quickly walk up to the front, in the middle of the bridge to snap, after I walk down to the stairs and try other angle. So do you think he's not bothered by the angle? HAH~
Too bad and thanks to him, I get a nice background shot~~

THE TRUTH ON SPT KIDS FROM BIS
Some fans had been asking me what's the "boycott" thing they heard. Though I had explained to them and they understood - (and was surprised by what actually took place)...guess it's better to post this here and clear it up.
Basically...was boycotted because I voiced a different opinion on how to photograph buses. I was told/taught by the group ppl to photograph at a standard angle where it's showing 90% side X 10% front which according to one guy "was the only nice angle" after they tried a lot of other angles which to them turned out to be "ugly". Along with that, cannot be "pokked" (partly blocked) by cars or shadows even by a little bit, cannot have opposing sunlight direction that causes shadows that darken the subject or the front of the bus and make it look not nice.
Found that those advices were troublesome to follow, and was binding me in a box especially the restriction to one 90% side X 10% head angle for every shot. Tried to photograph at other angles, but instead got criticised as "head (front of bus) too big", "ugly" "too dark" and "fail shots". Nothing wrong with their standard angles, but after photographing that same angle repeatedly, some would get bored too after viewing the same angle shots repeatedly though of different buses, and continually viewing an album with the buses photographed at the same angle over and over...you get the point.
Besides, there's infinite opportunities to capture a shot at any angle and stuffs. Tried to talk to them about it, that there's more than just sticking to the standard template and those "rules", and that photography should be more flexible....not forcing others to follow what the majority views as best practices. But they saw me as "not wanting to follow their advices" and so, I left the chat in frustration and some kid initiated a boycott, hoping that the boycott will make me rethink my views and not "losing them as friends". Didn't look back since then.
Yeah it's *that* lame. But I've been photographing more freely since then without the need to be chained down by some rules every since that day. Sure, some shots posted here isn't really that top notch quality, but it's more flexible to capture a shot at least. Since this year I had also seen overseas bus pages posting photos that would have technically contradicted that group's "high quality" standard, but it was a guarantee that I was on the right track - It may not be a perfect or high quality shot, 20 years later it might hold more clues for others in the future to see this snapshot of our transport history....

Since SGWiki updated the A24 to 18.75m, I decided to do a detailed comparison of the Lion's City G and GL.
Lion's City G (17,980mm) config
Lion's City GL (18,750mm) config
Note that Lion's City GL has no rear wheelchair slot, like SMB388S. And there is not much difference in length.
MAN Lion's City G (5 windows for the front part of the bus, including 1 small window):
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/MAN_NG_363_Lion%27s_City_G_3456_Marki.JPG
MAN Lion's City GL (5 windows for the front part of the bus):
SMB388S (5 windows for the front part of the bus, no small window):
http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/32630_542955802411565_1922953790_n.jpg
Conclusion: A24 could be 18.75m long, OR it could be a 18m chassis with a modified GL configuration (Note that the 5 windows are not equally sized, seems like Gemilang made it look like the GL by having no small window, as for the trailer it doesn't have the 2nd wheelchair slot, which is also part of the GL's original configuration).
The difference in length only applies to the front part of the bus as both G and GL have the same trailer length.
What do you all think?
