2 New HippoTours buses have arrived in Singapore!
-
2 new Scania L94UB's have arrived in Singapore for HippoTours. They are Pinkie (PA5420T) and Purpee (PA5418B).
Pinkie will go on an exclusive route into Sentosa via Orchard.
Purpee will go to Marine Parade, Katong and Geylang Serai.
These rides will commence sometime in July.
An attractive promotion will be launched when these 2 buses come into service, together with a small re-branding of the Hippo&Duck comnined tours (the name HippoTours and WackyDuck will remain). A good time to try the L94UB's again.
Stay tuned for more information. -

And BTW whens the news is out? -
erm, will the purpee service turns out to be a white elephant like Citybuzz? especially C3? i dont think anyone will want to go pass by the areas on Hippo Tours knowingly on the high fares and low attractionsOriginally posted by ^tamago^:2 new Scania L94UB's have arrived in Singapore for HippoTours.

I saw the puple bus!

yes. it is serving the Orchard route today.Originally posted by SBS9889U:I saw the puple bus!
HippoTours is a very profitable route and an upcoming promotion will make it even more attractive.
as for CityBuzz services, they are actually "advertising" routes, for full-bus advertisers to have more exposure in the city. tat's the main revenue source of CityBuzz. -
Why hippotours so profitable?
