  882 runs a very short route. I do not think that 882 would have such a higher chance than  167 and 980.

  Service 911 is a Intra-Town service and there is a high demand on that service. I'm sure that SMRT will receive complains if they put OC500LEs on 911. Another thing, WRI might not be able to take OC500LE due to the high kurbs.

  Please stop asking whether SMRT buying more OC500LEs. Once someone get hold of some news they will post it here......

  965 and 969 can, if AMDEP wants to deploy OC500LEs there.

  "SBS is not the first to roll out Euro V buses- SMRT introduced its first such bus in May, and will put six more on the road by the end of the month.
  
  Another 60 of the company's new Euro V buses, which are also wheelchair-accessible, will be on the roads by year
  end, said an SMRT spokesman yesterday.
  
  The new vehicles are part of an additional 130 buses the company is buying to replace its older vehicles."
