I see. Thanks for the info.

It's a pity. EURO 4 double decker is better than EURO 4 single deckers.

But we won't be able to buy Euro 4 buses anymore.

I want SBS Transit to buy 650 more B9TL Wrights then, if not, choose others.

I think the min LTA standard for diesel vehicles is still Euro 4, but the bus operators opted for Euro 5 standard to get one step ahead for the environment. Volvo DDs are so far so good, except the B9TL euro 3 buses. I wonder why SBST did not consider buying some Dennis buses as I find them quite good in HK.

What about B5L Hybrid?

What is the deal with Euro III? Why did Asia-Pacific nations jump straight to Euro IV from Euro II?

A side note, the HK Tridents are Euro III aren't they? Ditto for the Volvo B10BLE and Scania L94UA.

At least 2 on 95 today.

So whoever who said the YIH bridge would not have allowed 95 to have DDs will have to eat their words.

Sighted as well: 2 folks who parked their car illegally at the bus-stop outside Kent Ridge Ter to take pic of the 95 DDs.

PS: I was soooooo disappointed to see the EDS flash 95 when the bus started up. Thought it was for 151. damn!

Its not the YIH Bridge that had prevented DDs from clearing.

Great Shots !!! Hope its not a test run but hopefully wrights can make its way to svc 95. Svc 95 needs at least 3 DD during peak and it will be welcome addition to the fleet of svc 95. I remember missing 2 svc 95 buses(bus overloaded) at about 5pm before i barely hop on(by standing on the steps of the volvo mark III) !! 95B from NUH.. Hope SBST can seriously consider putting these wrights perm on svc 95. Maybe the next test run for these wrights will be on svc 96, i will be glad and relieve !!!

Then where was the problem that prevented 95 from having DDs? Trees along Lower Kent Ridge Rd?

But if anyone takes the Wrights and approaches YIH from the roundabout it really looks for a few moments that the DD isn't going to clear the bridge. And even as the bus passes the bridge the roof is really really close to the bridge.
