  Please do take note that due to some unforseen reasons SMB1H will not be deployed on the roads as yet.

  Seriously...
  Ive lost all my faith on them.

   

  First we had LRT that broke down on 1st day.
  Then we had O500 that broke down on 1st trip.

   

  Seems like i've gotta avoid Circle Line when it starts running on their 1st day. And im wondering how many first do they wanna score ??

  1st Euro 5 Bus
  1st New bus bought by SMRT
  1st Day on Service
  1st Trip out (broke down..)

  Anymore 1st that we can add to the list ???

  Just to clarify, the ride is very smooth and the body does not vibrate during normal operation. In fact, it is quiet and comfortable inside the bus. It is only due to the malfunctioning gearbox that the engine had to vibrate and causing the whole bus to vibrate and then the engine stalls after that.

  Correct me if im wrong.

  It was the British who started the commuter service 1st. From Tank Rd (Orchard Area) to Bukit Timah Rd. That is why we have a Bukit Timah Station. It was until 1920s (or issit 30s) that the causeway was completed. It was until then the railway was extended to the malaysia.

  p.s. u dont seems to get what im trying to say in the previous reply.

  1st OC500LE model in SMRT

  1st Gemilang bodywork in the whole fleet

  1st SMB- registered bus

  1st Slivered-Rim bus wheels in SMRT (did they itchy hand paint it black/remove rim guard again?)

  1st WAB bus in SMRT

  1st Bus that brought in since SMRT Buses after acqusition of TIBS.

  Hope the other 65 do not break down.

   

  By the way, is SMRT going to get more buses (demonstrator/etc) or this 132 buses is "that's all folks" till 5 years later? SBS does have the B7RLE and MAN for demo.
