hi i m new and m a bus fan. anyway, i dont see why k230ubs can have 2 piw space. i dont see any piw in bus yet, and imagine 2 piw at same time. infact, i use the piw support as my back support

Maybe the PIW bell should put lower. but then got wheelchair constraints. In fact, i've noticed the white wheelchair marking on the bell surface is disappearing in most K230UBs, and some may treat is as a regular bell instead.

Perhaps ba. Don't forget that service 58 is dual AMDEP/BNDEP controlled, let's see which side deploys them first.

Service 70 another sole survivor in Yio Chu Kang too, other SBST transit buses had already got WAB fleets (either Volvo B9TLs or Scania K230UBs).

It's a common trend for passengers to do it both intentionally or accidentally. The 'beep beep' is actually the PIW bell and the regular 'ding dong' is the regular bell. Some of the angry BCs do get worked up just because of this sometimes.

Buses that have this problem
SBS973T (HG 83), had this problem when it was on Sv 27
SBS939T (HG 101) plus roaring
SBS961C (HG 153) plus roaring

Buses to recommend:
DM:
SBS892T (smooth acceleration)
SBS918D and SBS960E (the engine sound is quite unique when it speeds and decelerate)
SBS980Y (smooth acceleration, clear engine sound)
SBS982S (whistling sound)
SBS928A etc....

Strider:
SBS2630U,SBS2639X, SBS2670D, SBS2683S, SBS2675R, SBS2680A (smooth acceleration, clear engine sound)
SBS2688D (change gear at a fast rate, speeder)

DM3500:
SBS2753Z, SBS2795C, SBS2836T (smooth acceleration, clear engine sound)

and etc...

Nice name

I stay on the 10th floor and 593G was the only bus that I don't have to look out of the window and I know it's passing by. Now, he got a companion, SBS8109U. 1 goes "voom voom voom (continuously)" and another go "shish shish shish (continuously)".

I still recommend SBS957R. Forever cold except when the engine is off. And OT abit.. Try SBS2787B too..

it makes loud swishing noises when the bus moves, and i know its nothing related engine-wise, cus when a bc revved the engine in neutral, no swishing, but the amplitude and frequency of the noise increases with speed.

This problem not only affects the K230s but most of the Scanias. The N113s and L113s also faced the same problems as you've described.
