Howdy there, all!
You folks seem to forget Singapore's first double deck low-floor buses...the Dennis Trident! If only they all had wheelchair spaces for better accessibility for handicapped persons.
Sydney is full of wheelchair accessible buses, as is Europe.
The SE Asian countries are a bit behind in these advancements.

I agree. SBST did not provide wheelchair facilities even though they had low floor buses, and Tibs doesn't have any low floor zero step buses now. -

What does 'WT' stands for. I saw the bus number change on the EDS at a bus stop, from 307 to WT1

The TIBS Scania L113 ELBO is a zero step bus, FYIOriginally posted by off_service:Hi Windy,
I agree. SBST did not provide wheelchair facilities even though they had low floor buses, and Tibs doesn't have any low floor zero step buses now. -
Only at the entrance. There are two steps at the rear exit. So it is technically not a low-floor bus.Originally posted by cck_190:The TIBS Scania L113 ELBO is a zero step bus, FYI -
But then why Tibs claimed that the ELBO was zero step then? Didn't it know SBS has real zero step buses where the entrance and exit does not have steps?
-
Back then SBST didn't have any low-floor buses. It's first lowfloor bus was 1688K and only arrived in 1997-1998.Originally posted by th1988:But then why Tibs claimed that the ELBO was zero step then? Didn't it know SBS has real zero step buses where the entrance and exit does not have steps? -
Maybe the definition of zero-step buses in Singapore actually means that the bus has one door without steps.Originally posted by th1988:But then why Tibs claimed that the ELBO was zero step then? Didn't it know SBS has real zero step buses where the entrance and exit does not have steps?

TIBS mentioned "ZERO STEPS FROM ENTRANCE TO REAR" and not "TO EXIT".Originally posted by th1988:But then why Tibs claimed that the ELBO was zero step then? Didn't it know SBS has real zero step buses where the entrance and exit does not have steps?
For SBST, their buses are STEPLESS AND LOW FLOOR. -
Off_service,
I know, Tibs mentioned this before. But I don't know who that staff when to write in the website that it was SGP's first Zero Step bus with zero steps at Entrance and Exit. Exit?
Maybe they are just "hao lien" -

Now SBST has 80 low-floors, compared to TIBS 15.Originally posted by service_238:well at least when 1688K, 2888T & 9888Y comes along.. they cant hao lian anymore -
The trend now is shifting to low-floor, zero-step buses. Hopefully, one day they will have wheelchair access as well. TIBS might be contemplating to buy low-floor Bendys in the coming year. Watch out SBST.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Now SBST has 80 low-floors, compared to TIBS 15. -
watch out for? besides SBST gained the upper hand of having low-floor DDs first anyway.. zero-step bendies? wait till TIBS have space to park their fleet first bah...Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:The trend now is shifting to low-floor, zero-step buses.
