  The Higer is no longer at NTU. It is now parked at SLBP for a long time already.

  It still call at that bus stop. I think the number at the bus stop pole is being pulled out by someone or drop off.

  No. Unless there is official sources or pictures to proof. Anyway, heard that the 2 Sunlongs are quite expensive to maintain for SBST.

  One question.

  I remembered that there was a Scania N113CRB with ALOCA rims. Is it a trial by SBST at that time to test out the feasibility of mass using ALOCA rims for the future???

  And what is the difference between the Scania K series and N series???

  What's the rego? I dun think there's any CRB fitted with ALCOA rims...

  It's only the engine mounting IIRC....

  I forgot the rego. It was a NAC CRB serving Townlink 265 before it was deregistered in 2007/2008.

  Hybrid technology is expensive when doing complete overhaul unlike their diesel powered siblings but is greener in emission and save fuel too.Roughly i know why SMRT dilly dally to trial both the Zhongtong & King Long.

  How long is long? It was still parked at NTU a week ago. And if u want to move it, u need to remove it's "roof".

  Edit: Last seen today still parked in holding area, but with "roof" dismounted.
