  Slightly off topic but, looks like the SMRT Citaro in the picture has a ZF EcoLIfe gearbox, buses[IN]gapore!, do you still remember which one is featured in the picture?

  No, but defintely it might buy more to replace the CACs and OAC Batch 3 (registered between 1996 and 1997).

  Don't think so... They are switching to China brands already...

  think SBST will have to modify the bell buttons soon.

  the current design will activate the bell just by someone leaning on the button.

  Seems like there are quite a few differences between SMRT's production Citaro buses and SBS Transit's Citaro buses, besides the few obvious ones (different LED displays, etc.).

  

   

  • Different position of the side left turn indicator blinker light
  • W.A.B. logo difference, as pointed out earlier
  • External front door opening button not visible on SBS Transit's version (could be in the same place as SMRT's demonstrator version)
  • Different wheel rims
  • Different wheelchair passenger call button position
  • Something extra behind the exit door on SBS Transit's version
    

  I guess all of you have been wondering whr is the door button located at for SBST Citaro. SMRT Door button as you can see is at the white part just on top of the headlight area. SBST is clever enough to hide it behind the left wing wiper arm area whr the bottom black part of the windscreen is that made a camouflouge of the button and moreover that its quite flat also. i just found out when i boarded SBS 6000L on 28 just now at Toa Payoh Int whr i saw the driver sort of like press something at the back of the left wiper then toe door opens.

  Actually, that's the original design of the citaro because smb136c's button was also below the wiper arm. I believe it is instead smrt who requested it to be moved to the side of the doors for easier access by the sl.

  BBDEP was the third depot to receive Citaros? Or are the Citaros sent to there for other reasons?

  That might somehow explain the reployments of SBS8080S and SBS8092H to TRG buses and SBS8057K and SBS8067G to SLBP?

  i tot all these happen few months back?BBDEP have taken wrights to replace these buses.. and the citaros are in BBDEP because of the MK3..... if Citaros dun go BBDEP/HGDEP/BNDEP, then ppl will complain that SLBP/AMDEP keep take in new buses...
