Additional Features
USB Charging Ports
The bus was equipped with USB charging ports for selected seats only. Charging ports come with room for either one or two USB cables.
The bus only fitted USB charging ports to the rear saloon seats on the lower deck, and the last two rows of the upper deck. The reason for such an odd layout is unknown.
Exit Doors
Doors and the Automated Wheelchair Ramp are supplied by SMC Transit, also known as SMC Pneumatics. A video of the ramp deployment is shown below. The automatic ramp was removed prior to entering revenue service, and replaced with a manual wheelchair ramp.

A rapid KL B8L caught fire today (5th March 2024)
Feeling so sad my heart pains to see this bus go to private bus operator. Why cant it just be with SBST where it belongs rightfully. Very sad.
Imagine this company serves your school and they use this bus, will you be happy?
SG4003D has been sold to A&S Transit Pte Ltd as the first double-decker citybus to be operated by a private bus operator.
Would be happy to see if this bus makes a return under tower transit on mandai depot services.
