It was a Mark IV (not 3) with a DM3500 body. -

Nope. It has a light blue Samsung hp ad. Used to be brown Samsung hp ad.Originally posted by carbikebus:Is it with a black adidas ads on it?
To date, that's the only Mk4 DM3500 I know (and have taken) with rear swing doors. The other one is the DM3500 on Svc 80 (with the EDS on the front), I think. Anyone can confirm this? -

The "move to rear" annoucement is also put on trial on SBS 997 A right? I remembered seeing a picture of someone pressing the button outside SBS 997 A.Originally posted by xin1jun2:u forgot SBS2771 - move to rear button demonstrator bus

SBS 2779 A is also equipped with a camera? Correct me if I am wrong. -
Oh yes, SBS997A was fitted with that device also. The camera which was installed on SBS2779A was used to catch traffic offenders who violated into the Bus Lanes during the operational hours. The camera has since been removed. Unsuccessful?Originally posted by off_service:The "move to rear" announcement is also put on trial on SBS 997 A right?

Some may think that how 90 got a Mark IV. Well, it was a long story.
With the deployment of LO 2x into 90, SBS did once deploy a VO 2x on trial to see it was viable. So it had a rectangular desto plate. So that was how the special Mark IV was on 90. -
The Mk IV with a plug door is SBS 2754X, AMDEP-based, now on Sv. 161
SBS 2779A the EDS bus has no plug door, and is currently on Sv. 153 -
i sat a MKIII (877M) on Svc 96 at evening time yesterday and i can hear that the gearbox is ZF 4-gear, like those used in MKIV Striders.. seems like they were testing ZF gearbox on the at least one of those last batch of MKIIIs (800-plus series) befoe buying Striders with ZF.. but today i have yet to spot it on Svc 96 and it has not appear on my regos list before.. however shld be a bbdep bus.. do look out for it..

The swing door mark IV I believed 90 was the first rt to use it as many were not too sure and they only know abt deployment on 88 which was later as I lived in TPY.
What abt the EDS, which was the pioneer rt? -
2754X was an original Sv. 88 bus. It did cameos on other services before.Originally posted by th1988:The swing door mark IV I believed 90 was the first rt to use it as many were not too sure and they only know abt deployment on 88 which was later as I lived in TPY.

I've seen and taken this bus before. I think it was on 88. It's a pity i didnt get to really notice it. lol..Originally posted by SBS9818A:2754X was an original Sv. 88 bus. It did cameos on other services before.
As for EDS, i first saw it in 80 along Upp Paya Lebar Rd. I'm not sure which service it did before that. -
I took it once on Service 31 in 2001.Originally posted by SBS9818A:2754X was an original Sv. 88 bus. It did cameos on other services before.

I saw the EDS bus for the first time at Bt Merah Interchange but I can't remember the number. If I'm not wrong it was 131....or was it 153?Originally posted by th1988:The swing door mark IV I believed 90 was the first rt to use it as many were not too sure and they only know abt deployment on 88 which was later as I lived in TPY.

153. 2779A has always been a HGDEP bus. It was deployed on 153 after sv 80 inherited almost the full fleet of sv 85. 2779A had also done cameos on 64 (Jun 2003), 147 (Oct 2002) and 86 (Jan 2004).

2779A is now a perm bus of Sv. 153, it operated solely on Sv. 80 before with a few cameos occasionally.
