Dennis Trident 3

丹尼士三叉戟 三型 (都普·金屬DM5000) [Config : H56/29D]
While Dennis Trident double-deck buses are common in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom and come in many types of bodywork, SBS Transit purchased only 20 units. When they were initially introduced onto the roads of Singapore in 2001 they were impressive - fitted with Transit Media electronic destination signage (EDS) and operated on the flagship service Express 502. The DM5000 bodywork were the last kits Duple Metsec would deliver for SBS Transit.

These buses were fitted with the powerful Cummins M11-305E engine (10,824cc) and the 3-speed Voith DIWA 863.3 automatic transmission. Air-conditioning units were supplied by Denso. In the recent years, the fleet of Tridents' state of maintenance have been left much to be desired. They tend to run on long-haul routes based in the North-East of Singapore.
