  Sian... Thought that SMRT bought this bus? Or is it there to take down the special ad?

  By the way, maybe we can expect this in future if SMRT still considering MB bendies.

  SMB 258 J (Citaro G Demonstrator; 1st Gen. Front & Latest Gen. Rear)

  Then SMRT Buses got the best out of Merc and C&C?

  Anyway, MAN had a brief history with SJE. Pity the private coach operators stuck to Jap buses instead of giving more sales to MAN.

  Some MAN long-distance coaches in KL are better than Jap ones in a way. Considering Malaysia has a factory that belongs to this manufacturer it might be more cost-effective if SG bus operators could buy from them .

  3 for 3 should be ok but 7 to AMDEP that means atleast 2-3 have to get kicked out. Suspecting TIB771R got x-ferred from KJ to WL though have to keep a lookout.

  TIB771R still under KJDEP, still on 700.

  But i suspect the last Citaro, SMB148T which is not registered, might be under WLDEP.

  last week of March, highly likely that the Citaros will be launched soon (if following the press release scheduled launch time frame).
  
  And first day of service, hoping that the bus fans boarding them not irritate passengers with their  excitement (particularly noise) of the new buses.
