  Just guessing the rego, maybe SBS8032G? Let's not speculate about it. I would suggest on the following:
  
  - Put on 70, 107, 132, 165 if bus is going to be under HGDEP
  - Put on 2, 36, 196, 197 if bus is going to be under BNDEP
  
  etc etc..
  
  A plus point for the body, its a quite similar to the design of other demostrator's front body (like the MAN bus), possibly Gemilang also, but totally not the same as the SMRT Merc buses.

  Hi, if I'm not wrong 70 is under AMDEP right?

  BTW, e rear looks quite alike to SMRT OC.

  Cheers.

  I think if under BNDepot the bus should go to Sv.18/38/69... Shorter routing and distance... Though I hope they put it on Sv.42...

  hmm 42 should there any Dart b/down but BC on 42 musts learnt Scania traning before scania kub can be considered to be placed on 42, if not, no choice they will use other rigids if they dun learn.
  
  Sv 15 & 17 could be another option (if put on 17, both demos will be on 17)

  I think we all here agree that this is only a demonstrator. And buses don't fight.
  
  And if one day SMRT decides to buy KUB's, does it mean SMRT has lost the fight to low-cost Scania buses?

  I vote for East District, simply because West District already has 2 demonstrators. :lol:

  My percentages of possibility for the Merc to be based in:
  
  East District: 70%
  West District: 30%
  
  East & West District is the entire depots that are under the two Districts.
  As SBS has Volvo bus in the West District & MAN bus in the East Disrtict, my opinion is that the Merc bus should be based at the East District.

  MAN? west?

  i would prefer if it went to AM or BR. the general experience they have in maintaining mercs helps out. same goes for the MAN bus.

  as for 8030, it would be better if it were to be HG based. as for 8033.. hmm.. BN, since BN should carry its scania heritage :P
