  I think SBS5226J was the former SBS Mercedes Benz OF1413 Soon Chow bus. And this rego is recycled and the last alphebet is exactly the same as the new Scania rego.

  from good solid bus become pile of rot.

  no problem. you find bus for them to replace the outgoing O405s. do you even know that AMDEP, BRBP & SLBP are of higher priority to receive these new KUBs to replace their outgoing buses?

  simple mah.. put these new KUB to BN/BB/HG, transfer MK IV over to AM/BR/SL.. this is also workable. why not? Why must insist all new KUB go to AM/BR/SL? Now almost all the perm fleet of AM/BR/SL are KUB already. Quite a lot of the merc are SP buses now..
  anyway, it is also not enough KUB right now to replace all the balance merc.. there is around 30+ KUB left (including the last two batches which have been registered), but there is around 90 merc left over... so most of the 5** series should be able to survive until the wright B9TL come out? unless SBST decide to reduce the number of spare buses in each depot to maybe around 30 each, then more merc will go sooner...

  To add on, some k230 bought are for fleet addition to certain services.

  Scania K2xxUB= 2-axle SD

  Scania K3xxUB= 3-axle SD

  Scania K3xxUD= 3-axle DD

  Can. Why not?

  I think the reason SBST rejected the OC was because the EDS too damn small.

  With your reasoning, should SMRT have rejected the OC500LE (SMB1H) because of the side and front EDS being too small?

  The reason why SBST rejected the OC is not because of the EDS, it is because there isn't any adblue facility in any SBS depot.

  This closes the gap between SBS5001R - SBS5190C.

  I believe the Wright B9s will be using AdBlue.

  I mean... Look at the photos of the SBST OC... Small enough to only fit "12 Bedok-Clementi" SMRT OC EDS isn't that small, is it?

  It is small,but this is not the reason that SBST rejected the OC

  As for the SMRT OC EDS, compare SMB1H (Which is the demo) with the production OCs

  SMB1H vs. Production OCs (Click both of the links,see both of the OCs side EDS)
