Maybe the only thing the ppl living in the SBST area can look forward to is the Wright B9s.
in e first place buses of the likes of Citaro wun even be purchased by SBS since they're full body assembled buses by manufacturers. -

Me also wan move to SMRT Area,Been Bored by SBST KUBs
Anyone has an idea of how much This Citaro cost ?
-
Fully built up vehicles especially for buses do cost more. My own humble estimation would be about 350+ thousand SGD, if we are taking the OC500LE chassis and package at a lower end of 300 thousand, the Citaro would cost 50 to 100 thousand more.

First time i ever heard that a hobby will dictate where you will reside. Just travel to the SMRT area if you want to catch the Citaros.Sooner or later you'll be feeling that the Citaros are "common" around like how the OCs are now. -

Think before you speak, people like you who doesn't think before speaking does no good things to yourself.
Impossible that SBST does have too many buses coz of the KUBs, but rather the time after MK2s have been deregistered, they already have lack of buses liao, maybe the E4s not even enough to cover. So they wait for M3 to de-register first, then bring in the next E5(or EEV) to cover, then the OC will go in for trial la, the 1yr not started what...

I still not bored of the KUBs yet, but rather the "dull" design of the OCs, granny seats might be a bit too high for me. Then the next batch dun wan copy E5 KUB, go put another granny seats, then make all kids go capture that seat(I want that seat if they have it -_-")

Citaro maybe no one can "copydog" it la, coz of that special hole in the centre.
"copydog" this phrase is adapted from "Where Got Ghost" this movie.

it might cost more now esp freight rates been rising (not to say in tandem w/ current economic situation) and the rising Euro -

No just saying that if i live at SMRT area it's more easier to catch them and can take them everyday.No need to travel so far until Woodlands or Choa Chu Kang just to catch them.Maybe it wld be good if like 67,969 all can get them so easier to catch them from here. -
zomg.
so much better compared to squillions of scanias.
i wonder when the other buses get dereg will sbst keep getting scanias. -.-

I would prefer services like 307 to have mix of OC/0405s perms... instead of just being full OCs

SMRT still goes for MB Germany
While Hong Kong & SBS goes either for Sweden or UK
