Good time for a gathering.

I might not be going... I have other appointments.

Frankly,I don't quite like the CNG buses.

I have already seen this bus on Tuesday (04 May) along Farrer Rd. I was onboard service 186 and this bus was beside, when both stopped at the junction with Empress Rd.Originally posted by Yusry:http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/83539/1/.html

The interior of this bus looks a bit similar to the Malaysian Lance, cause the seats are what you see on Malaysian Lance. The bus registration plate is of a temporary blue plate, with 4 digits ending with "S". If I remember correctly, the rego is 2710 S. -
Great idea! I'll certainly be there. Just name the time and place. But if there's no gathering I'll go down and check it out anyway.Originally posted by Yusry:http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/83539/1/.html

CNG buses are cleaner and quietier than the Dissel onesOriginally posted by BlessingSatan:Frankly,I don't quite like the CNG buses. -
In the Channel Newsasia article, it states
"Ahead of that, Mercedes is showcasing it's latest model to the authorities & bus operators..."
Does this imply to the CNG bus or another model? -

From the CNA website:
Although the bus is cleaner, it is also more expensive. The green bus is about $120,000 more expensive than a diesel bus. Operating costs are generally also about 30 percent higher.
If SBST or Tibs buy the bus, will it means there will be an increase in fare? -

Hmm,Just came back joyride in it with some of the bus fans.Quite Ok IMO,But i don't think that our dear 2 giants are interested in it.
ps;Thanks to off_service,bus_guide,yusry,jack and others who spends the time with me inside the bus although it is a short one. -
BTW,Where's this 238?Thought yesterday he showed up earlier
Ok,Final view from me about the bus,*Thumbs up* and really hope in future TIBS will purchased this type of buses and artics too. -
Too bad I don't have the time. Wonder when I still have the chance to ride on that bus.

No chance as it will gone soon,But you always can try the SBST Volvo CNGs in futureOriginally posted by sbs&tibs:Too bad I don't have the time. Wonder when I still have the chance to ride on that bus.

Can still reid the Transperth...in Perth. Once, my family with my cousins used entirely the Sydney Buses, Trains & Taxis to travel around Sydney...just to cut costs.Originally posted by BlessingSatan:No chance as it will gone soon,But you always can try the SBST Volvo CNGs in future -
Hmm,The interior catch my eyes the most,Oh plus the cabin too

Oh cool! Boarding on Transperth 1854 was an excellent experience! The ride was smooth, cool, and pretty quiet! Somehow this OC 500LE is quieter than the B10BLE .
