  Maybe he was referring to the sentosa's yutong (or is it king long?) '8031'? :o

  Yes it smells China, but as what you have said, it copied Neoplan's design, that's why it's different from other China made.

  Wonder did Neoplan sue Zonda Bus for copyrights?

  Cheers.

  Not sure leh. Never see SMB49X, cos I was on TIB962G - 965, heading to Sengkang Int.

  Not in Service today.
  
  Saw it coming out today but it never did 854. Was on 852 when I saw the bus came out and headed towards Yishun direction but the bus never reached Yishun Interchange nor did 854.
  
  Bus had 2-3 SL. Supposed it is on TRAINING mode although bus puts "OFF Service".

  SMB135E went back to park at Yishun Interchange at about 545pm, the bus was off service.

  SMB19H likely did service 854 in return today as usual.

  I saw an 854 on Yutong at Eunos. At first sight, it looked like some 3rd world country bus. The most obvious change is the EDS. The back EDS is weird with its desto. So tiny font also no use. 

  The interior (from the pictures) look ok though, hope it's as good as or better than the current old ones/new OCLEs. Btw it is Euro IV/V right, as per govt regulations?

  SMB135E not in service today, AM/PM02 covered by SMB33R.

  For next week starting tomorrow SMB135E will move up to AM/PM03 shift.

  SMRT's style of duty numbers.

  SBST's style goes by eg 1A 2A 9P 17S 18T etc.

  I am not very sure but what I know is that SMB135E will be next bus after TIB620T in sequence, following after SMB135E would be SMB49X. Can try waiting at Yishun Interchange between 1-115pm, SMB135E should be there.
