  If it is really taken out of service and has been returned to MAN, most likely the bus will end up with a purple livery. 

  
  How do you know?

  now parked near the restricted area meant for Army vehicles.
  i managed to 'molest' the bus a bit cos
  i was there to send my MAN LAERC 1.6284 truck for servicing.
  
  i didnt ask the employees there when 8031J would be done with its maintanence though.

  Ah, yes STK maintains MAN products. Makes sense to let them look at 8031. Do they also do SJE buses?

  Like you said earlier, they want cheap and good. You think they will ever bother to consider the brand now since they are turning to cheaper China buses???

  Anyway, if not for the high fuel consumption, SBST might likely brought in a fleet of the MAN bus. Hopefully the demo will return to SBST fleey as soon as possible.

  
  If fuel consumption is high, why do the Mudlanders up North favour this brand for their tour coaches?

  Subsidised petrol, and higher speeds on expressway.

  Cock, earlier in the thread people already said STK is the distributor for MAN products. Read before you post anything.

  Does this mean SMRT will never buy NG313s even if LTA allows moe bendies in? The initial O405G box bendies are due for retirement in 2012 if I'm not wrong.

  Dear Fans,

  SBS 8031J is still 'alive' ... will be back to Bedok North Depot within this week. Has been quite awhile 'resting' in STKinetics. Not sure will be deploy to run which service though. Anyway, do lookout for it. She has not much time left for the trial.

  Cheers!

  The interesting trivia about this bus is that it has the highest licenced capacity ever for a 12-metre or less bus used by PTO's in Singapore.
