  OK back to topic: anyone seen 6014Y back on the roads?

  
  last time they had the senior/junior divide a few years ago (e.g. there was once they ranted how they cannot meet HK bus fans when the older bus enthus met the HK bus fans) and many more, and they caste system of sorts where those bus fans they don't like are at the lowest, while seeing themselves as the group that younger bus fans should join. Somethng like that.

  Maybe SBST should set up small Mercedes, Volvo and Scania service centers in their depots with full-time mechanics approved by the respective makes so that servicing will be better done and completed quicker. Especially so for the Citaro since it's an integral bodywork!

  Then ask Mark Chua to teach you how to demand full Wright and Citaro fleet for HGDEP from senior mgmt. Results guaranteed

  You live at Sengkang is it? Then I shall hope that more Citaros will do Sengkang services than Scania K230UBs!

  lay-up deadline was about a month ago...

  And look, SMB136C's damage extent was way more serious compared to SBS6014Y's. And yet, SMRT people repaired it TWICE in less time SBST took to even lay-up the bus. 

  But maybe that explains why SMRT buses breakdown more often than SBST buses.

  Most of the time its not because of the busy mechanics, but the lack of availability of parts instead that cause the delay.

  It's not surprising if it takes a month for replacement parts ordered to arrive (esp our euro buses), because air freight is very expensive and generally the parts will have to travel by sea. It therefore depends very much on the distributor or bus co. to build up a buffer of parts available for use.

  A possible reason why smrt tends get repairs faster is because they already have a shortfall of fleet to use, so money is more willingly spent to recover buses than sbst which has much more spare fleet to use. And also because of willingness to retrofitting with other compatible parts, e.g. tib700x's front, tib1238's front, some of the lance's unique rear engine cover, etc.

  That's why they should have manufacturer service centers which are more likely to stock up on spare parts. The quality of the maintenance can be assured too, although it will be more expensive. But look at it another way, better maintenance and higher costs in the short run will mean less problems in the long run.
