      EDS looks pretty Mobitec, no suprises since SMRT's EDS of choice has been switched from LAWO to Mobitec.

      The rear does look Citaro-ish, but with a hint of OC500LE's design combined together

      it will always end up in WLDEP first. need to install fixtures, this, that, everything, then decide go to which depot. the OCs when new also report to WLDEP first for installation of stuff.

      Honestly the bus looks nice especially the front....But once agn they showed their copycat attitude.One look at the rear and u can see hw exactly they jus happily copy pasted the Citaro's rear design.... =.=

      AMDEP staff told me over the phone that Yutong MIA more than 1 month alr. Then there are loads of complains from SLs. According to an SL, he told me that SMB135E may go back to China. Wonder if the new one will take over SMB135E or it will have SMB137A

      Non user lay up status means the bus will not be placed on revenue service, till the day it is de-registered, But within the period of time (9-15) months if they have idea to refurbish the bus itself, Like (TIB) 840A, Then it will be taken out of the non-user lay up status.
