Bus Observations (2014)
-
SMB140P (KJDEP 77) – many original bells replaced with many different types of bells… Front doors move slowly, but banging firmly against the rubber seals when closing… Engine has whistling tune, but ZF gearshifts are quite obvious… Nice Citaro with the new livery!
SMB3013D (AMDEP 61) – one the few MANs to have the doors banging firmly against the rubber seals when closing, but normal speed unlike SMB220S… Also, one of the few MANs to have a different engine sound, like SMB204P…

SBS2615P (BNDEP 197) – repainted! Very clean!
SBS2812L (ARBP 93) – ex-Nokia bus! Many Kinder Bueno hangers spotted in bus… Rear door bangs firmly when closing… Black paint on rear door rubbish bin peeling off, exposing red SBS era… Nice quiet DM3500!
SBS3013U (SLBP 97) – Voith gearbox quite obvious when decelerating…
SBS9512G (CGBP 293) – nice loud 7-Eleven bell!
SBS9649X (CGBP 31/31A) – rear axle right wheel has new rim… Looks like a stock aluminum silver rim with black bolts…
SMB328R (WLBP 75) – ‘BUS STOPPING’ chime and both ‘DOOR CLOSING’ light and chime spoilt… Only the ‘BUS STOPPING’ light is working…
SMB1338E (WLBP 852) – whole rear door area shakes very badly over bumps… Front doors 'quiver' when opening...
TIB832Z (WLDEP 963) – PIS has white tape blocking the display, but PIS is still working…
Aircon not powerful, only blowing little
cooling air… TIB1075K (AMDEP 812) – left rear aircon filter shakes when the bus is idling, creating a jackhammer noise…
TIB1235R (KJDEP 176) – one of the nicer Voith MKII Habits!
Cooling aircon, though the exit doors seem to be missing a pole in the
middle for both exits… -

I wonder why are they doing this to a WAB service by reducing its WAB quota...

the main reason is HGDEP take out many perm kubs to JB svcs and on the other hand they throw back around 30+ of this JB DM3500 to HG so this non-wab bus cannot cover back this wab svcs perm wab buses somemore still not enough wab-buses for HG .
So now no choice they hv to take those non-wab svc (107 & 159) wab buses out cover back other perm wab svcs tat lost their kubs as for 112 im not sure y they also still take out some wab buses from this svc and replacing DM3500 as this svc already wab .
