  maybe amdep gone overboard to lay up so many mercs till almost the last few batches left which still can survive 1 more year or so.

  training buses can go anywhere and any route..... that is to train the BCs on all road condition, either single lane, double lane or narrow turn or flyover or going uphill, downhill etc...

  5252 was spotted turning out of slbp on Sat morning. I think the last batch were housed temporarily at slbp before moving over to amdep.

  spotted 5105 + 5107 and 5109 with FULL YOG purple ad today, including FRONT part of buses... the sbstransit/scania wording in the front are also covered by the purple ad (except for the scania logo), including the front bumper as well. first time that the KUB are cover completely with ad including front part.

  seem like 5105-5110 and maybe 5236-5239, 5250-5252 might be used for the YOG shuttles? but no give way sticker on front windscreen though. if this is true, the mercs in AMDEP will survive a few more months... :)

  Ya.I also observing tat.489A all also whole exterior repainted.Body looks very shiny.
  
  And btw strangely,some of the AMDEP Mercs r getting super ultra shiny front rims.SBS552A the right side front rim is so shiny lik it had jus been newly polished.Not sure for the left side.Actually if u observe very closely,they only repainted the outer part of the rim and the middle part is a bit dark.Looks lik wat SMRT did to those TIB1020T etc.Nice job done!
  
  SBS478G also right rim super shiny and gleaming.Since it dosent have rim guards,it looks lik the whole rim had been polished.Seriously wen i saw tis 2 buses,i was jus reminded of the time wen tis Mercs were newly refurbed to b extended.

  shld be used for the internal shuttle within yov, which explains why theres no give way sticker.
