The Only Volvo B7RLE Bus



This is the 1st time I will be talking about buses in my blog. Basically, this Volvo B7RLE bus is the only unit in Singapore. It is brought in as an demonstrater for SBS Transit to evaluate the bus before purchasing more units of the buses. Unfortunately, SBS has not made the decision yet so this bus is the only ranger in Singapore Roads. Assembled by a local firm, Soon Chow Bodywork, this bus can carry up to 2 Wheelchair bound passengers. It's emmision of CO2 is rated at Euro IV. Basically, I've taken this bus 3 times and the rides are smooth. This bus is currently on Svc 174. Also famous, this bus has a "garang" look or a ferociuos look at the front which akes a trademark for this bus.
