  i think it has reach SBS7580Y onwards, since SBS7577H might belongs to AMDEP/BRBP.

  By that time when those wrights are registered, I think those 917* to 9199 can deregister liao as most of them are from BR/AM de.

  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.

  There are better buses than Wright... E400, E500 are examples...

  IMHO, I think they should get more double deckers to ease the future crowds. MRT isn't going to solve the problem forever, since the population is going to increase again in future.

  Totally agree but SBST just bought 1100 Scanias SDs...
  myopic planning

  Hope their future purchases will be mainly double deckers for the coming years.

  Read the newspapers again. They didn't state any models they are buying. They only state the cost savings that SBST will save for buying 300 buses and 119 buses for SMRT.

  Think there is a mistake btw ST and Lian He Zao Bao on buses again!!!!!

  Cos Zao Bao listed bendies are included in 119 buses.

  Zao Bao is mostly inaccurate. ST news is more realiable as it is more of a national newspaper, won awards before. But they do not state any bus models bought which is not to confuse any readers.

  Anyway, the journalists are not always accurate. It is best to keep it as all single deckers since it makes more sense. 300 Citaros for SBST, and 119 single deckers for SMRT to replace batch 1 O405s.

  Noticed that recently SBS 9186P crossovers from 22 to 136 instead of SBS 7517G. What's happening?

  22 offically WAB service. So, no point on putting WAB DDs on 22/136 slot because 22/136 are S Split slots and Wrights had been pushed to full-day slots.

  136 also WAB service what..

• TIB657M

  136 full WSD fleets. If plus 2 non-WAB buses on 22/136, still can meet WAB quota.
