  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.

  
  Must take the old bus alot before they are out!!

  Most of the OCs on 172 and 307 I saw today have the new stickers pasted at the front door and the Wheelchair Area in the bus in conjunction with their WAB service starting tomorrow. Did not take pictures as I was in a rush.

  SMRT press release stated 66.
  
  Our local reporters are very professional at mixing up facts and numbers. How many transport news got error inside?
  
  And the SMRT press release is released after the article.

  The sticker on the door, if the bus cameos on other non-WAB services what happens?

  I guess, they won't let PIWs in, since the route isn't WAB. I thought, if the route is WAB certified, then the SL/BC can let them in. If not, its a no.

  There will be debates about letting PIWs on non-WAB routes.

  it's gonna be like the WAB sticker case - WAB decal at windscreen but the bus is on a non-WAB certified route.

  hmm, if it cameo on a WAB service the blue WAB logo will be displayed on the front windscreen. if not, it will not be placed in front, just like SBS Scania KUBs. For the sticker pasted on the door, it will remain as it is even it cameo on other services that are non-WAB.

  but early this year they had to remove the blue WAB sign because its services were not declared WAB status yet..
