The buses that were replaced by these Citaros were de-registered. -

That will be troublesome and SBST will have to keep on exchanging the buses. -

Isn't this too troublesome? This might meant that the bus service that needed the Citaros controlled by AMDEP might have to shift depot control you know? -

Agreed, AMDEP already got enough K230UBs and MK4s to cover for the remaining 0405s that are going off next month. Yet it still take in the Citaros. Looks like some of the K230UBs might end up going to BNDEP to replace the MK3s.
Look at HGDEP, full of all the old MK3s spamming around. Furthermore the only depot that has zero intakes for Wrights. I wonder is it because of PAP losing Aljunied GRC to the WP or not... -

where got enough kub and mk4 to cover for remaining merc for amdep? there is 6 merc going off... and the spare SD buses now are 5105, 5106, 5109, 908,988, 992. so only 6 sd to replace the merc.. so amdep will leave with NO spare SD buses after the merc go.... now there is only 24 spare buses in amdep. if amdep dont take in citaro, it is left with 18 spare buses to cover for fleet of 550 buses.look at BNDEP and HGDEP, there are around 45 spares buses to cover for the same amount of buses....
now hgdep full of old mk3..but for the past few years, amdep also full of old mercs...
one more thing, amdep only take in 12 wright while slbp take in 44 wrights.

not true. kub euro4 b1 never go amdep first, kub euro4 b2 never go amdep first. kub euro5 batch 1 & 2 never go amdep first. wright also never go amdep first. the citaro will definitely go to hgdep later.. there are 300 of them. -
HG fleet still young..
-

Will there be a tour for O405 and O530 together??? A farewell tour and takeover ceremony tour or something like that???Originally posted by chickenlittle2:

Went in to have a look with a friend who wants to fix his car there recently.In fact, there are more than 30 of them inside, with a few on the slope to 2nd storey. Many have unfixed regos inside the bus. The latest plate I can see is SBS6035.
