The engine was on and it was extremely loud. The interior of the bus looked similar to the Merc WAB buses. I din take pictures cos got many ppl inside the bus.

  Oh... I haven't got a chance to see it... lolx....

  According to my Street Directory, Sin Ming is located near Bishan/Ang Mo Kio. Look at Map 67 if u have street directory.

  You won't be able to see it even if you go down now cos that bus was there for inspection that day. If it passed the inspection, then at least we can know it will be plying on the roads soon... but dunno how soon..lol

  Best is to wait for the bus to come on revenue service. Know the route, know the timing, sure can catch le.

  Somebody still fantasizing too much worhs

  But seriously speaking I wonder why WLDEP can't have WAB buses when it controls routes that are not based in WRI (e.g. 61, 171, 173, 859 etc). Its like kinda "because of WRI we can't do it" while AMDEP still puts OCs on 969/67 x-over slots and KJDEP putting OCs on 925 ... ... at least if WLDEP don't want to give them to WRI svcs they should really consider the fact about the other routes that don't serve WRI ... ...

  Maybe Yutong is the 1st WAB to be at WLDEP?

  I think he means WLDEP needs all the flashy, brand-name buses like Mercedes and not some Cheapo China Transport Vehicle.

   

  Imo, WLDEP NEEDS the Yutong. I don't like the fact that WLDEP is overstretched; the route rearrangements last year was in favour of AMDEP/KJDEP, coupled with the fact that WLDEP received none of the OCs, makes me, well, you know. Pissed. Considering I live in a WLDEP majority area.

  What if new OCs and Yutong goes to KJDEP and AMDEP, think you will be more piss right?
