  Juz like some SBST svcs like 36, 53, 358 which get perm euro 5 KUBs and kick out the euro 4s.

  omg.. from 'smearing' silver paint to this... y didnt AMDEP take good care of their OCs? at least KJDEP maintains theirs by repainting the rims white & other stuffs like cleaning the buttock of the bus.

  
  Yeah.i am also wondering wat are AMDEP doing to their buses.SMB23U looks like it hasn't been maintaned for quite long.Wonder if there are more OCs in this state.AMDEP better start doing something abt the OCs or they would get even worse.A pity that the OCs have to be in this state.

  SMB86M or SMB87K? But both are KJ buses. Maybe you saw SMB97G?

  Funny thing is, I know it was a Batch 2 (Wheel thingy)

  8X series, and AM only has 3 buses in the 8X range

   

  But I don't remember the suffix to be D. B or Z. Odd.....

  I saw 21A this morning inside Sembawang interchange but unsure if it's for 167 or 980.

  SMB55C  the back left hand side seems a liitle crack like kena an accident like that.

  So I will guess that AM is preparing 980 to get perm OCs like 167.

  Could be just a trial. But better chances of going WAB compared to 167.

  WL got to intake OCs 1st...... 167 having full OCs under AM would not fulfill 50% WAB fleet. 980 having better chance cos of majority AM control

  I don't the SMRT will rid the Scanias as they are slated for refurbishment along with DAFs. Unless they change decision if not I don't think they will.

  If SMRT is bored, wondering what buses to buy in future, maybe they can try DDs, this site can help out.

  not possible. last year wldep already took in a lot of merc buses from the other 2 depots when a lot of nissans went to lay-up. unless the depot swop buses.
