  Sure anot? Given SMRT financial difficulties, SMRT still choose Merc??? Merc is super expensive u noe?? The OC500LE might be cheaper than the Citaro, however its still as expensive.

  Actually, since the Mercs you guys are talking about are 0405s, I don't quite see any tradition in buying Mercs. Maybe Volvo will appear on SMRT!

  Hmm, it seems that Darryl has some kind of grudge against me. He edited my post @ SinBus re Svc 5 simply to make me look like the bad guy.

  I wonder what made you guys keep saying SMRT is having financial difficulties. Different companies have different style of operating, just like you and I doing the same thing a different way. It is not good spreading around saying SMRT is having this and that difficulty.
  
  The best way to prove anything is to produce proof or evidence. In this way, nobody will doubt what you say, perhaps even unnecessary trouble with SMRT, probably for slandering?

  to add to FS point, most operations in Singapore practice the i wanna mike big money thing
  
  so cut costs save costs here n there..

  Sometimes, I think you and Charles are better people than Darryl or Zilchy.
  
  If anyone has a grudge against me, bring it to the open. Don't use backstabbing as it makes you look cowardly.
