  Agreed. And even if they get them, where are they going to put them? Their depot no space liao...

  But if SMRT decides to get Korean made buses I'll convert to them...

   

  Likewise for SBST(but lesser chance of that happening).

  so all converted to aircon?

  
  nope. Just that the windows are refitted to only have hopper windows due to the climate there being cooler, so the UK people don't feel stuffy even if they have only just hopper windows for ventilations.

  If they never refit the windows (still using our NAC VO2X windows) , imagine what happen to the interior of the bus when it snows

  No.  I don't support such a move.

  There will be too much politicking.  Look at the AWARE issue.  I'm sure if there's any club, it will end up with in-fighting, divisions, cliques, old guard, new guard.  And yes we will see a bus-enthusiast mentor.

  There is already so much politicking here already. You wanna make it official?!

  They are well maintained what~...

   

  For some weird reason the Korean made city buses look like UDs, and feel like UDs, and run like UDs. Prolly a tie-up between Hyundai and Nissan Diesel~...

  Some jokers put that the future fleet for Service 22 and 23 are Scania K320UD. Not only those 2 services but for some other too. Seems like that person can read the future and thinks that SBST would buy Scania K320UD -.-

  I not so sure. I only took the Hyundai Aero City(and that have NGV / runs on LPG and CNG) in the provincial cities. All are manual. But I think seeing the NGV in Seoul, I think I know what you mean...
