  These buses retire from their daily services pretty early.

  Saw 2 Wrights OFF SERVICE leaving Eunos Interchange at around late 7pm plus.

  Yes, I missed the last Wright bus on 60 yesterday evening. Was on 196 returning to Bedok interchange when I saw the bus just left the interchange.

  Took the next bus 60 to camp for the next Wright trip from Eunos interchange. On my way, saw an off service Wright driving into PIE. -_-" Then when I reached Eunos, another Wright went off service and drove into Sims Ave. How unlucky...

  But they are really quiet when I saw them in action yesterdat, much quieter than the current B9TLs.

  So are the Wrights on service today for 60 and 185??? Gonna catch them today.

  4 years ago when the CDGE B9s came out, they were quiet also.

  So you have to wait a few more years to see if the Wrights are noiser or as quiet as Day 1...

  hahaha that's true... 4 years ago, when i took my 1st CDGE B9 past midnight, i went "this is so comfortable and quiet..."
  
  now take past midnight.. "sorry residents living along road.. i have to take this bus to reach home."

  But the old B9TLs are still a bit noiser than these Wrights when they first came out.

  Anyway, the EURO 3 and EURO 5 versions use different engines.

  Happen to see this warning message on the dashboard "Fill up AdBlue tank" or something when i board SBS7503X just now. What is AdBlue? Will anything happen if AdBlue is not filled up?

  The engine will go into limp mode, ie less power if there is no Adblue/DEF.

  I dun think the engine would lose power..... Furthermore, Adblue is just to reduce carbon emissions....

  Then what's the reasoning behind the Euro V label?
