  I guess other than the JB MKIII (excl e spares), the rest will likely to go pretty soon..

  There's still lots of buses at C&C as I passed by on a double decker tis afternoon.

  meaning to say therotically only 160 & 170 (full route) can use the DM3500. 170X will have to wait.

  
  Think service 170 might be getting fleet renewal when more DM3500s are cleared. Looks like BBDEP start off with service 160 first as there are only about 14-15 buses to be replaced, compare to 170/170X which have 50+ buses.

  seriously when I did my own schedule

  170 just needs 43 buses on weekdays, 13 or 15 for 160.

  No la.

  82.

  372.

  101.

  Oh wait. They are already filled with MKIII/IVs.

  So what choice do we have?

  Basically, he can't even see this deployment constraint when he keeps whinging about MKIIIs on 163/109.

  Ya thats why.Always talking crap saying HGDEP must faster faster get the Citaros to replace the MK3s..As if HGDEP must listen to his stupid crap advice.

  HG MKIII will get laid-up/scrapped sooner or later, just that HG still think that they are valuable asset currently as HG yet to be able to get Citaros to fill-in their current role, not like some other depots which are faster in laying-up theirs.

  Think your sentence quite harsh in cursing others, doubt user SBS8675B would have offended you in any form. 7th month now, bad to curse others death, we're a group literated bus fans.

  Just my 2 cents worth bro.

  Cheers.

  Yay! Citaros on 293! SBS7888K confirmed on 25. How hard is it to recognize a K310UD with its strange black rear design?

  No, it's not malfunctioning. But the funny thing is that you have to press 2 times to get the light on. Anyway, saw three citaros, one after another heading to Changi Airport on 53 in the morning from around 6.30 am to 7.00am from Bishan. One of them was 6013A. Was sitting on 8165G in the opposite direction towards Bishan.

  Nice!!! Just curious, what citaro was on 123M?

• nfshp253

  3 Aug 11, 21:21

  That means it's malfunctioning right? It should light up with one press. Anyway, after I pressed the bell, another person also pressed the bell but the light wasn't lit. I hope 293 gets more Citaros to replace the MKIIIs then I can take it anytime I want! :)

  No..cause it was spotted without SBS Transit logo last few weeks. 

• nfshp253

  3 Aug 11, 21:29

  If I didn't see wrongly, the logo was on when I spotted it just now.

  Anyway, so cool that I correctly predicted that 293 will get at least one Citaro (predicted on 11th July!). 293 seems to be always getting the new buses. Like when it got most of the new KUBs last time. Good for me since I live where 293 serves.

  You don't live there right?

  Citaros have been there practically every single day since day one.

  Same with the Wrights.

  So no biggie there.
