  There are some bus ride videos on Centroliners in HK

  Centroliners on 59M

  The Cheena bus had better arrive soon under WLDEP.

  OT: Senoko? 856 pass by or not?

  
  And I would like it to be under WLDEP. And put in WRI svcs to test out WRI structure.

  APM1 has lots of problem, always not in service. However those AP with MAN engine are in better condition than the other Centroliners.

  any official stand or latest news from anyone so far? if SMRT buys china buses, it'll be caught by the press for sure.

  and is it true that SBST has a monopoly on double deckers?

  oh man. u folks cna continue with the Youngman discussiona s well, i'll rename the topic.

• ZYX2005

  18 Feb 09, 12:29

  youngman is a pure chiense word right?
  
  the man there is not in relation to Neoplan who have been tied to MAN AG.

  Youngman coaches are known to resemble Neoplan coaches in terms of look and even dash.
