No. They have single-planetary hypoid axles. New hub reduction buses are hard to find, even Merc and MAN aint really producing them. Though Merc has a 4 axle Actros truck with hub reduction on all wheels.
To add on, only Mercedes Benz Brazil are still producing buses with hub reduction axles on their O500M/MA (standard floor) and O500U/UA (low floor) chassis.
Interestingly due to this, all articulated MB chassis come with hub reduction as there are no O500LE articulated chassis. Remember that the O530 Citaros are integrals and are not available in chassis-only form.

how you takes this shots?from so high?
Overhead bridge.
Only problem with that location and angle is that the building in the background is a Protected Area.
More information in the Protected Areas and Protected Places Act.
Although there are no photography restrictions legislated in the Act, might as well try to avoid such buildings or places in the background.
Nonetheless, they are very nice shots.

I believe you did not read what was posted earlier.
I'm not sure if this is in reference to using zoom lenses or the pedantry over the words illegal and not allowed or the accusation, but the phrase strictly prohibited seems to be a suitable synonym for not allowed.
If it is about the accusation, I hope the accuser has witnessed the physical act before throwing such accusation. And to Apex-L21, feel free to reupload your photo. Unless one of us is a digital forensic investigator or a witness to your physical act, they have no grounds to stand on in accusing you.
In other news, I hope we can stop the bitching over what constitutes appropriate photography behaviour and I really wish our moderators would put their foot down on this matter.
Over the five years I have utilised buses@SGForums, the amount of bitching, child-like behaviour and flaming is getting really out of hand.
Let us try to be civil for the next few days and hopefully that would be motivation to continue being civil for the rest of our lives.
Thank you for reading.

Info from bus555:
SBS 0035 B on Service 291(deregistered based on OM website) So can report to LTA for using dereg bus right?
Dearest SBS2695H and everyone else,
Please note that according to the terms of agreement of the One.Motoring site, only vehicle owners and other authorised personnel of the vehicle being looked up are allowed to carry out the look up operation.
As such, this becomes a double edged sword where both parties will get into trouble - YOU for unauthorised lookups on the One.Motoring site as well as SBSTransit for using an unregistered bus.
Proceed at your own risk.
Thanks for reading.

Find me the Act of Parliament that says it is illegal to photograph at Interchanges.
AFAIK, there is no Act that says it is illegal to photograph at Interchanges.
However, as SBSTransit and SMRT have leased the land and building structure from the LTA, these areas are considered PRIVATE PROPERTY.
So if you wish to enter these locations, you have to abide by SBSTransit's and SMRT's rules, similar if someone wants to enter your house, they have to abide by your rules. If not, they have the liberty to kick you out, but not ask for your NRIC number or arrest you or prevent you from leaving the place.
And therefore, please STOP USING THE WORD illegal to describe photography at interchanges since it is not a criminal act. Use NOT ALLOWED instead. Similarly, SMOKING NICOTINE may not be illegal, but definitely NOT ALLOWED in my house.
NEXT, I am sure you are aware that camera lenses nowdays have 35mm equivalent focal lengths of 450mm and more which makes it easy to shoot pictures as if you are in the Interchange itself.
Secondly, you have no real proof that these photographs have not been doctored and probably not valid in court. Even when the Singapore Police Force decided to go digital for their traffic cameras, they required some sort of digital signature system to ensure that the photographs have not been tampered with so that they are valid evidence in court.
Only go to the police if you actually see the human being using the nickname SBS2695H actually photographing buses in the Interchange or have concrete and irrefutable proof of such an act. Otherwise, it is best you keep your big gap shut and try to save whatever dignity you have left.
Thank you for reading.
