  Hmm.. not anymore... Think either the Yutong dosent like the Citaro or the other way round ... Citaro is now parked at the bus park, Yutong in one of the 857 slots together with a lance.

  But the Citaro in there is stated as a Euro 4. Our Citaro is a Euro 4 or 5?

  Cheers.

  Yes. I was on the bus with other bus fans on the first day of its service and I heard an announcement like "Please move into the bus." Nice :D

  "Please move to the rear for the benefits of boarding passengers". This line will be played almost every peak hour .

  I know I'm a bit late here. Anyway I noticed that there are only 4 seats in the last row (as the Yutong does as well).

  I was told by the SL that 136C was driven by two people permanently. He takes great pride in the bus and took time to clean up before allowing me to take the shots.The driver cab was particularly tidy!

  Kind of reminds me of taxi ownership! (where there are two drivers too)

  Another observation is that regular passengers did not realize the existance of the folded WAB seat for the entire journey!

  Yes. On the second day of service, i spoke to one of the few aged passengers who always wait for his bus because the SL is kind & polite to them and they are guaranteed a fast & smooth ride.

  I waited 1.5 hrs for this bus, but at least I was entertained by 927J which cameo-ed on the route today!
