  Service 198 is so far using only 10 Volvo B9TL's.
  That's quite reasonable. Like a WAB Service.

  I don't think that there is any favourism as they consulted the relevant authorties before implementing it. Furthermore it passesby many neighbourhood areas in which there are many aging people living in it. Not to forget it passes by NUH (for direction to Bt Merah) as well as Jurong Polyclinic.
