sorry bro.was thinking of something else and accidentally posted it.but u didnt say it was back?if not,sorry again.chill,relax.its my fault.
this is 666 when it was undergoing repairs in june 2008..
anyway, i spoke to my colleague today (who happened to be secretary of ex tibs boss) on why tibs choose merc majority over other makes is because previously of tibs taxis who bought merc cabs and merc buses at a tied in rate..
and i also saw a classic merc citaro poster on her office.. cool!

Why apologies when you make mistakes again and again? You look as though you make empty promises.
You are angry with him when he made a mistake. Shouldn't we be angry with you too when you post wrong info?

Problem with TTS News is that its uncensored, straight from source. So when got error will have to come out and say sorry. But then the system stuck like that, and worse of all, he might assume that he is The, accurate source of SMRT information, The, selected SMRT spokesperson.
Way to reduce such problems? Do not post unless information verified, do not assume castles in the sky, simply, do not assume the impossible.
Its not the first time. Its the X th time.

6 buses... it's kinda easy which depot(s) these buses go to... it's all a big puzzle. (=
Say, this would be the first few pieces of the "big puzzle". Lol.

No need to guess. The pieces of puzzle will reveal one by one. Just sit back and watch for now.

just now TTS went by KJDEP on 925 while returning home. he saw one of them.

I think he is abit late. Most of us already knew that long ago. And I do not mean SMB 1H.
Like I said, sit back and watch. The bigger pieces of the puzzle are yet to come, so no need to be excited over which depots getting the OC500LE. Will get = get, won't get = no get.
And is tintinspartan your only source of info? You're seriously kidding me if you say that you take his every word as reliable pieces of information. I suggest you find other sources? (=
Unless TTS had established himself as one of the reliable sources around, take it cautiously.
Well...with more OC500LEs coming in, this means more Nissan Diesel buses going off soon.
. And the white rims of OC500LE will soon turn to grey rims lol.

It's due to the CapaCity front from Mercedes, makes it look taller. The curved front and the big windscreen make it look like it's tall.
Oh and btw when the Euro V ad on SMB1H will stay till?
Cycled down to Woodlands Depot tonight; apart from the usual buses-all-over-the-place scene (TIB 1250X being parked at least 200 metres away from the rear gate
), I also managed to glimpse two Mercedes OC500LE buses parked deep inside the depot, with the give way to buses and the bus lane timing information signs up on their rear.
Off topic: the overcrowding situation at Woodlands Depot is getting so bad that I won't be surprised if the buses launch a strike
. </not very serious>

If you are referring to the MKII Hispano bendy buses, that is. The later ones (having the exact same bodywork as the Mercedes, production Hino, and Dennis Volgren buses) is by Volgren.
