  76 first, then 107, then 174, before settling down with 62. each of the initial tours lasted a few (3-4) months.

  There's a couple of such 3-axle single-deck coaches which operate out of Lavender Terminal. One is Mara Executive Coach and the other a Transnasional Executive Coach.

  Do you understand the basic guideline "NO TAKING OF BUS PHOTOGRAPHS INSIDE INTERCHANGES / TERMINALS"?

  Tough to use in SG due to space constraint.

  i think the bus parks were not built to handle the 14.5m-long buses, that's why they didn't buy.... cos technically, the b10m-70 is no different from the normal b10m-60/61, just an extra axle, longer chassis structure and bodywork, so it isn't any problem on maintenance.
