  Since SMRT is buying Mercedes Sprinters... what are they going to with their Toyota Coasters & Mitsubishi Rosa? Are they selling them?

  Very under-powered..
  Can see them trying to struggle up slope when it is full load..

  I guess, they should have bought more Rosa instead of this under-powered bus (Or Van..)

  So are the doors automatically-operated, or do you open them manually like the doors of a van/van-like mini-bus?

  Automatically operated. The door switch is on the driver left-hand-side.
