  B7TL and VSO (B10TL) are already superseded by B9TL family. Volvo B57 is an ancient model...and as for MB Travego, why would u wan a public transport company to get coach models?

  I agree. Especially the MAN LionCity double deckers in Germany.

  If this is the Volvo B5L hybrid, it's going to be an interesting addition. But I don't think there will be anymore 10.6m double deckers in the future. Since JIS services can accomodate Leylands and Volvo Olympians air con double deckers, SBST would concentrate on buying 3 axles double deckers.

  Unless there is a sudden surge and steady demand for service 42, else unlikely to have 2 axles double deckers anymore.

  Nice job.

  At least it looks a tad better than on the ugly SMRT livery.

  If you fan boy has nothing good to say, then just keep your dumb comments to yourself.

  At least can look forward to 300 Citaros in 2 years time, it going to be a plus.

  I seriously do hope SMRT will buy 600 Scania K230UBs to replace all the single deckers in future.

  Our famous Volvo B10M is also based on a coach chassis.

  No way. You cannot replace the bendies. They are new. Dennis Lance, DAF, and Hino buses are too old and ugly, so K230UB will replace these.

  according to bbc it will cost 7M pond to bulid this bus and 3 prototype will start run in London street on 2012. even 350k pond is not cheap if the bulider bring down the price.

  In my opinion,  If SMRT have the thought of buying DDs, I hope its Optare Rapta.
