  Maybe SMRT realised that white rims will become dirty until they have to paint, paint, paint and waste money. I wish ALL buses have these silver unpainted rims...

  There was a BC years ago on 161 who loves to do that to the VSOs.

  I wonder if he was caught by mata or what cos he has stopped that practice...and before that, incidentally, a VSO on 161 was caught by mata for speeding.

  
  i happened to be in one of those incidences

  no not kena book by mata.

  i was at the back of the bus.. on the eway. we had just overtook a 965 box, and suddenly, the whole bus went very quiet, and very smooth

  the roaring completely stopped, and i thought the engine died

  Sliver unpainted rims too similar to SBST buses. Black looks disgusting on a new bus, and white dirties too easily. haiz.

  if they follow the C751 SMRT livery scheme.

  The bus is black, with a red stripe, and grey for the bottom and the wheels. The front is white.

  in the end the white rims still become black from all the dirt...silver unpainted is the best...

  I think the Yutong bus will be coming to WLDEP. If not why isn't Woodlands Taking in OC500LE? So Yutong bus is 2nd Batch?

  firstly, second batch is OC500LE. secondly, WLDEP is not taking in because WRI is not ready for wheelchair access.

  Lol... Unfair... Other interchanges with services under WLDEP may not necessarily be not wheelchair accessible.
  
  Reminds me exactly of what happened to 167.

  Wait till LTA build a lift or ramp from ground level to the interchange 1st...

  But then, WLDEP can take in OC500LEs for services like 171 which is going to be WAB soon. Others can be deployed to services like 61, 167, 859 etc.

  Its going to be a lift, which i heard.

  And SMRT is going to bring in another 63 WAB buses starting from June, next month. Probably is what Tamago said, OC500LEs. So, a total of 130 OCs.

  mm a small clarification, should be 132 OC500LEs?

  anyway, hopefully there's also some differences between the first batch of OC500LEs and the second batch of OC500LEs. maybe more seats only.

  Confirm batch 2 OCs (probably) would have new 'modified' design bodywork than rite now, just like the KUBs..

  132 was the reported as new buses going to buy, which first 67 OCs were confirmed, while another 65 was probably. So, maybe SMRT decided to reduced to 130 lor.

  got some description of how it'll look like?

  hopefully the full CapaCity front with the black strip, exterior side windows similar to the Habits and the upcoming Yutong demo, and a rear that does not dirty into a brick pattern.

  Integrated Bus Operation System or something like that. Equivalent to the AVMS system SBS Transit is using.
