Maybe not for service 178. Probably services like 169, 171, 187, 857, 858, 911, 960 and 963 may get the OC500LEs first.

Agree with you. Probably the last. Maybe you will get a full fleet of OC500LE 15 years later bah.... When they are due for layup. Remember these Nissan Air-con UDs used to be on the more profitable routes of SMRT back in the 1990s.

SMRT doesnt seem to like 178 to begin with.

Can tell by noticing how many old Nissan UDs are being "dumped" on a particular route. Services 178, 187, 853, 975 are among the main victims .

Whereas some services like service 851 - always the 1st to get new buses in Tibs/SMRT's fleet, from Merc 0405 way back in 1994 all the way till now with Merc OC500LE fleets. Still remember the NAC ELBO Scanias which also made the 1st appearance on service 851 in 1996, now thees ELBOs are in a very bad conditon and were so called "dumped" to services like 187 and 852.

For OAC Nissan UDs, most of them started off with service 854. After which Merc buses were bought in 1-2 years later, service 854's AC fleets were replaced with Mercs. All the Nissan UDs were then assigned to those other not so profitable routes when they were converted to PAC in the later phase in 1995, eg. service 160, 182, 925.

851 has always been a highly patronised route which would mean that any new purchase would earn back its value in revenue service. It would be silly for an O500LE to go on feeders or low-patronage services, if the flagship services like 67, 190, 851, etc. were to be neglected.
