  It finally looks like the OC500LE on the flash webpage on SMRT's Go Green with SMRT webby. White rims. Hope this time round, the white paint goes to the whole fleet.

  Wonder when the technicians do maintanience on the black rims, do they have the impression they are dirty and charcoalish? haha

  Well, all buses in 190 would rotate shift with the BCs every week. So, SMB does not have a permanent timing. A bit tricky to rule out as there are a variety of shifts. As the saying goes, anything could happen.

  fyi the next few OC500LEs are coming on next Monday to the depot (most probably KJDEP). for WLDEP lovers, too bad, OC500LE very low, cannot enter WLDEP. therefore, WLDEP will not be getting OC500LE at the moment

  easiest way is to go to smrt control office and ask for timing.

  961 WLDEP side not possible, AMDEP side not sure though. will try to ask some AMDEP SL. for reason, refer to my previous in this thread. as for 985, KJDEP possible. but most possible for KJDEP side is again, 190.

  Where you got your information from? :)

  The decision to have OC500LE on 851 after 190 still stands till today, thats information from YIBP Control Office + SLs.

  Bus could be too low for the high curb / steep slope of WLDEP. Does this answer your question?

  Yep. Thanks for telling me.

  think they mean the low ride height of the OC500LEs. Apparently the same issue with the first batch of K230UBs with low suspensions. Potentially can damage the bumper of the OC500LEs and the unused fog lamps on it.

  Bottoming out and hitting the skid bars on a low floor bus can, as a worst case scenario, shatter your windscreen.
