A BK6126S1 (Note1) 12m low floor double-decker bus built by the already diminished Jinghua in Beijing
Among the three double-decker models introduced in Beijing before the 2008 Olympic Games and BK6126S1, both the mid floor and low floor, is the most common. Also, BK6126S1 is the earliest new air-conditioned double-decker into service (Note2). Applying Jinghua’s latest, and also the last, exterior design with a face that vividly resembles a pair of glaring eyes and pouting mouse of a furious man, BK6126S1 gets its name “Double-decker King Kong” from bus fans.
The chassis is a product of Shanqi (Shaanxi Heavy-duty Vehicles), an expert in double-decker bus chassis. JLY6120SCK is propelled by a national-made Yulin Diesel YC6L260-40 260hp Euro IV diesel engine. The gearbox is an Allison T325R, uncommon in Beijing. The power train is shared by the three new double-decker models, but the axles are different. BK6126S1 low floor version’s axles are still unidentified, but the steerable tag axle is believed to be a ZF product.
The bus applies a low floor design with the engine offset at the left-end corner; however, due to the absence of wheelchair ramp and fastening space, the bus cannot be categorized into the accessible bus fleet. The straight staircase faces backward, and the engineers in BPT believe that the design is able to lessen the possibility of passengers’ falling down when the bus makes sudden stops. The air conditioner is located above the engine, taking the position of rear windshields on both floors.
The low floor BK6126S1 also has two versions, transit and sightseeing. The sightseeing version is in Division 5, now on transit Line 23. Although featuring red quartz floor and cushion seats, BK6126S1 has small but non-intact windows upstairs which are insufficiently luxury for sightseeing. Transit version disperses among Division 1, 4, 7 and Xin’ao.
In the picture, Fleet No. 46003 (Division 4, Double-decker, code 003) is resting in National Gymnasium Station. Line 83 and 85, both ending at this station, are assigned by low floor BK6126S1. Line 83 and 85 are two of the six Olympic Special Bus Lines preserved after the Games---Line 83 is the former Line 3 and Line 85 is Line 7.
Note1:
All units of BK6126S1 have plates writing BK6126S on their rear end.
Note2:
The earliest air conditioning double-decker bus in Beijing is Changjiang-Flxible; however, the model of few units was not put forward.

I live in the center of the Seoul Korea. No wonder there are so many tall buildings around my house. Every morning i saw these smoke out of each chimmey. They change their direction at any time with a little bit of wind. It fascinates me.
Many People bring the baggage or their cargo by motorcyle and then they drive it on the road. Maybe yes, it's cheaper than by a car, but it's very dangerous for him, and also the others on the street. I suggest that do not try this when your drive motorcycle.

A BK6126S1 (Note1) 12m mid floor double-decker bus built by the already diminished Jinghua in Beijing
Among the three double-decker models introduced in Beijing before the 2008 Olympic Games and BK6126S1, both the mid floor and low floor, is the most common. Also, BK6126S1 is the earliest new air-conditioned double-decker into service (Note2)---the mid floor version debut on March 8 2008 on Line Special 8 Inner Ring (on the 3rd Ring Road). Applying Jinghua’s latest, and also the last, exterior design with a face that vividly resembles a pair of glaring eyes and pouting mouse of a furious man, BK6126S1 gets its name “Double-decker King Kong” from bus fans.
The chassis is a product of Shanqi (Shaanxi Heavy-duty Vehicles), an expert in double-decker bus chassis. BK6126S1 is propelled by a national-made Yulin Diesel YC6L260-40 260hp Euro IV diesel engine. The gearbox is an Allison T325R, uncommon in Beijing. The power train is shared by the three new double-decker models, but the axles are different. BK6126S1 mid floor version’s axles are still unidentified, but the combination is believed to be a ZF steerable tag axle and Dongfeng-Dana conventional axles.
The bus applies a mid floor design with the engine longitudinally settled in the rear. Floor between the two doors is 500mm above ground, and the second step is much lower than that on other mid floor buses. Behind the rear door, the floor is raised another step and two rows of seats are placed longitudinally, facing each other; however the seats are inadequately raised above floor, and passengers have very limited space for legs and heads. The straight staircase faces backward, and the engineers in BPT believe that the design is able to lessen the possibility of passengers’ falling down when the bus makes sudden stops. The air conditioner is located above the engine, taking the position of rear windshields on both floors.
In the picture, Fleet No. S60503 (Double-deckers Division, Double-decker, code 0503) on Line Special 8 Express Inner Ring has just unloaded its passengers on the north side of Beijing South Railway Station South Square street and is turning onto the south side to have a break.
Line Special 8 Express is an essential supplement of Line Special 8 while Line Special 8 is an essential supplement of Line 300, the most legendary in Beijing. Line Special 8 series and Line 300 series are extremely busy arteries circling 3rd Ring Road. Line Special 8 Inner Ring is 49.5km long with 46 stops; the express version has only 26 stops, all key exchange stops. Line Special 8 Express only exhibits "express" by fewer stops, but not by speed. On the bus lane on the 3rd Ring Road, this "Double-decker King Kong" travels at a speed as low as 40km/h. Passengers are always driven crazy especially the four sitting behind the upper-level windscreen.

Amazing what a difference a new software can make: Fotoxx.
The desire to use arw stems from the higher bits: 14 for arw, only 8 for jpg. The lower jpg 8 bits cause most of my blue skies to display bands: the higher arw 14 bits have no banding. [We have only say 10 days of blue skies yearly in Shanghai, so I want each sky to be picture perfect].
The difficulty with Sony arw is the inherent noise: all other software has shown this, and it's very difficult to remove from photos. Also, Sony arw are in fact compressed, but without too much loss [so I am told]. The difficulties were too great for me prior: great investment of time to learn and to actually use.
But Fotoxx changes all of this. I can now open arw files without noise, and the app enables me to very quickly and easily perform the lens profiling edits needed: to wit, a touch of added brightness, contrast, sharpen. The Zuiko lens and Sony sensor are so good imho, no other edits are needed. The final result is imho an image with excellent colours, gradations, contrasts, resolution.
Obviously, I recommend all Linux users to try this new Fotoxx. The new 16 release is the one to install.
of course, I would prefer Sony had 16 bit uncompressed RAW capability.
[note1: This Zuiko lens is MC, vintage ca 1985]
[note2: All lenses must be profiled to the sensor. Normally, this is done by the manufacturer for dedicated cam/lens via the internal softwares. I use legacy lenses, which have no profiles, and thus I must use post-pro to properly match the cam/lens.]
