  I never say SBST and SMRT must buy Mercedes-Benz Citaros.

  I prefer it to be Volvo B9Ls or Scania K-series buses again, if possible.

  I also prefer SBS Transit buying Volgren K310UBs like those in Sydney.

  Issue is, many bus manufacturers are trying to do away w/ low entry buses alrdy..

  Sadly, as seen in the MAN's case, they aren't even meant for Asian ops

  MAN is becoming creepy bus.. In fact their heavy braking is as horrible as the SAF tonners.

  Not to say some dividing boards are getting loose liao..

  Just wonder, was the SBS Dennis Trident a fleet add back then or to replaced the 0305?

  So LTA has finalised Upper Changi Road East near Newater visitor ctr as SBST bus park to supplement BNDEP and Woodlands Ave 4 as part of WLDEP fleets.

  Hi! Why are the SMRT O405Gs using the ZF 4HP500 gearbox that can only accept 1100Nm of input torque? The engines can output 1250Nm, so isn't there 'wasted power'? Thanks!
