Well, don't expect too much Citaros for now. Only 300 Citaros vs 1101 K230UBs. So the probability of coming across K230UBs is much more. Perhaps SBST can consider buying another 315 Citaros to replace the MK4 DM/Striders which is going off at most 2014-2015.
Buy even more. At least separate in two parts, first place an order for 400, and later place another order for another 400, total will be 1100. -

In fact BB/AR/HG/BN needs more K230UBs/Citaros when MK3s starts to go off. I also hope that these services tat u mentioned would start getting new buses too, adding on feeders 315 and 325.Why I say AMDEP K230UBs go to BNDEP is because they are from the same East District. Whereas HGDEP and BBDEP/ARBP comes under West District, most prob would take in K230UBs mainly from SLBP side (if SLBP takes in Citaros instead). Another way is HGDEP/BBDEP take in Citaros.
I do agree that BBDEP/ARBP needs more Citaros as services like 16 and 195 consists of maority MK3s which are going to retire as well as the shortage of fleets in 123 and 175.

SBS6000L and SBS6001J are now inside BNDEP.

there are still 6 Citaros inside AMDEP (including 6007/6008). not sure why they so fast go registered and then just park inside the depot.. most of these citaros are now tilting to one side....

Why 5625-5999 rego series not rolled out? What is the rationale for re-using the early 5000 series and the 6000 series regoes?

7000-series and 9000-series were mostly used for double-decks, and 8000-series had been used up. -

Perhaps they plan to buy more KUBs in future? Thats why they use 6000 series for the Citaros?

I think the different series are used to differentiate different kinds of buses.
5000 and 8000 series for low entry WAB single deckers.
6000 series for full low floor WAB buses.
7000 series for low entry WAB double deckers.

Please no more KUBs. Have enough of them.
There are many complains about them. -

I wonder which service will be the first to operate only Citaro and Wright!

I think they won't. Passenger services is more important to SBST. -

Why don't they buy Volvo B5L Hybrid or Scania OmniDekka? -

There were already 1,101 Scania K230UBs. Now they should make a change to buy more other buses. -
