  Was onboard 2724 the other day and noticed there were CCTV installed. If i didn't rem wrongly, JB regged buses ain't supposed to have them?

  On a sidenote, CCTV are also installed on 2761A as seen today.

  
  Most likely they need to install now due to the drug smuggling incident in a MKIII last year.

  So in total how many Volvo B10M DM3500 are installed with 3rd brake lights???

  From April onwards:

  DM3500s with modifications are allowed into route 160 and 170 respectively.

  Mark IIIs from 96 will be removing stickers very soon.

  More Mark IIIs from BBDEP will be transferred to SLBP and AMDEP to replace outgoing Mercedes-Benz O405.

  Route 95 will lose Mark IV (DM3500) very soon.

  Come on, we all know this is false. The DM3500s will get deployed into 160/170 when the Mk3s start to retire.

  When is the JB sticker - 'LPKP ADUAN (ADUAN ANDA)' going to expire for Mk3? If not retiring now, then the Mk3s will be exchanged with Mk4 DM3500 until Citaro's come in, then there will be small-scale replacement.

  Replaced by what?

  The Mark IVs will only be allowed operating on 160/170 when the necessary licences by LPKP have been granted. As of today, none of the Mark IVs have been given LPKP permits to enter Malaysia as a stage bus.

  I believe it will be one off.. All of a sudden, Monday all DM3500s replacing Mark 3.

  SBS2762Y spotted with 3rd brake light

  Gonna wait till approximately 90 DM3500 fixed with 3rd brake light before deployment on 160/170 will be materialised, therefore deployment in April would not be possible as seems only a handful of DM3500 are fixed with 3rd brake light.

  Cheers.

  Normally how long does it take to install a brake light??? At most a day.

  But I feel that the earliest will be May or June when the SBST Citaros are out by then.

  They install in phases. It's like construction of a building, it takes time.

  I'm surprised by a Volvo doing 123, not surprised that the bus hasn't install the 3rd brake lights yet. As you all know, 123 is almost fully using the Scanias, hardly see any Volvos in 123 now.

  got.. one out of nine chance that you see a volvo.. and because 123 is a WAB service that slot can easily be replaced by a K230..

   That means I always don't have the chance to see the 10% of Volvos in 123.
