  Jurong point the shop - Kiddy Palace. $15.90 i remember.

  OG chinatown /bugis i remember have, it's $11.10. 

   The first time i saw it i thought was some cheap knockoff, but after buying and comparing with the Citaro pics around the web, it's very close to the Citaros in European countries, except some minor variation. Not to mention peeling of the 'ad' stickers. The interior are quite close to the real ones, down to the seats and the grab poles similar to the Hispano Habits grab poles we have now.

  The doors and engine cover can be opened, but it does not have a wheelchair ramp. :p

  

  

  

  Compare to the real Citaros on the road. (images from wikipedia)...it isn't really far off at all!

  

  

  It's called town bus for a reason - prevent copyright infringment

  How i wish Kidsmate made a bendy bus version of this. The bendy bus toy by Kidsmate looks too generic

  
  I saw this toy bus at the Simei popular in Eastpoint.my baby cousin also has this toy bus at home.he has only the yellow colour version.

  I wanna know how did you pasted the adverts onto it. Because i actually pasted by using "cut & Paste" method, where i cut the part i wanted to , then paste direct.

  Now, because I have pasted the ads for 1month+ and I want to change it back to SMRT. Heres the steps:

  Firstly,place the paper onto the bus.

  

  Press the outline of the bus.
  

  After pressing the outline,it will be this.
  

  Cut out the the outline.
  

  And you will get this.
  

  Then, remember to cut to a few pieces as when paper touches the glue, it will expand abit.
  

  Glue the paper onto ur bus.(For me, normal paper suits my bus)
   

  After pasting the bus, u will get something lke this.
  
  
  (For full body ads, u can stop here)

  Then, cut the red tape and paste onto the bus.
  
  

  Do the same for black tape and u will get this.
  
  

  Lastly, put on the SMRT logoand its complete.
