[Sentosa] Rides on the New Electric Articulated Beach Trams

Maxson Goh Films
rides on board the new Electric Articulated Beach Trams at Sentosa Island. They ply the beaches of Sentosa and are free to ride.
These trams are the successor and eventual replacement for the ageing (but better in every way) Volvo B12BLEA CDGE articulated trams that were built on a chassis originally meant for a bus. With a massive 12 Litre Diesel Engine paired to a ZF Ecomat Automatic gearbox, it sounds better than any electric motor could.
There is NO replacement for displacement! XD

Hi glitchfan2428, just asking, how are we supposed to use SafeEntry at MRT/LRT Stations? Lets say we board at Pasir Ris and going to Tampines. Are we supposed to 1) Check-in at Pasir Ris then once we board the train, then check out, then check in again at tampines when we arrive then check out again once we leave station premises? Or 2) Check In at Pasir Ris then check out at Tampines without checkin in for tampines or checkin out for pasir ris? Pls clarify

[@sgdemobushunter7394]

Also the most special things to me is the front car is 3 axle

[@reddycrewmateandmini975]

Yes probably because of the battery pack and second car

[@harisinoue4758]

Glad you like the new Trâm this is Go Green project.

[@glitchFan2428]

If you had read the description you'll have realised I actually don't like it at all 🤔

[@StatisticsRepublic]

Why is the Volvo B12BLEA CDGE being retired?

[@reddycrewmateandmini975]

Probably due to the government pushing for cleaner modes of transport for leisure travelling and save costs too

[@sgdemobushunter7394]

Also today all beach tram got replaced by this

[@reddycrewmateandmini975]

Honest opinion: these buses are not bad by some means except the engine. And that this bus jolt super hard at every cranny and horn is so SHARP pitch. Now: WHERES THE LEGENDARY PURPLE TRAM WITH STAGE LIKE SEATS

[@陈劲恺]

Lacks the power the Volvo B12BLEA tram has, it's a pure bus. And, I hate the whining electric motor noise. Basically you can buy this on Alibaba. Just go to their webpage and search "双节车厢电动穿梭巴士”. You'll get this.☹️

This is not bendy this is a trailer

[@glitchFan2428]

Bendy in this sense is the colloquial term, it is what's known to most local enthusiasts as a bendy, the more appropriate term is articulated which I used in the title. As you can see the rear axles turning are only able to be controlled by the front and hence cannot be operated independently.

[@rusydididigamingandvlog2290]

At First i know the bendy on buses have a rubber turn i didn't know it can controlled tram by the rear

[@theoddball7]

Seems weird that they're using right-handed buses for left-handed roads
