  they were actually OF1413s or OF1417s (can't really remember but most likely the former) with locally built O303-esque bodywork.

  And SMB136C looks different from other Citaros, due 2 facelift. O530 r supposed 2 replace the O405? Is dat true?

  I meant around da world. It's the successor 2 it. But i very well hope SMRT will buy Citaros (& hopefully Citaro Gs 2 replace the O405Gs) 2 replace the O405. Not OC there r enough on da road already.

  i think SMB109G's getting new front rego soon. its current rego looked like 'SMB10-(broken-off-9)-C'. remember the OC with missing rego case? it was SMB72C all along! it got its new rego; w/o the C&C wordings on the bottom and the letters on it were all flat.

  However,  for SMB17M front rego, it is dirty. Everytime I see it, I always thought its SMB1I7M or SMB17IM.

  TIB1024H sound is back to normal...but now, TIB1141C engine sound sounds like a Hino bus.

  A mere 132 OCs is really nth compared to a vast 1100 Scanias....
  
  And its Citaro Gs to replace the 0405Gs.Not 0405s.

  least there's buses to go ard and have additional S shifts created here and there.

  Give me a KUB or B9TL than gotta wait for 2 - 3 buses aft 20 mins to board 1 Citaro. Can't even get to work on time, enjoy simi Citaro to a typical Singaporean.

  Now still trying Citaro seriously is too late. SMRT is not going to meet e 40% WAB requirement needed by another 148 more days.

  Even so, e Citaro would have to be modified i.e. WAB area and so on.
