Daimler delivers the largest Asian Citaro order to date

Some serious issue about the Citaros... is there problem with the glass windows/panels for the citaros? are they easily breakable? now beside 6014Y which have a smash side glass panel (where the side EDS was), 6009 and 6055 both have cracked rear glass panels (at the back of bus)....this explain why 6078/6079 appear on 131/28.. now all 3 buses are parked at the layup corner of AMDEP.
surprisingly, no other visible damage spotted on the bodywork of these 3 buses.. not sure what cause the glass panel to break so easily...BC's mistake? or hit by branches and just cracked? or weather? or mischieft? in the past, really seldom see buses with cracked glass panels at all. now in the space of around 1 month, 3 AM/BR citaros have such problem....

maybe cos Citaros are built for the european climate thats why all their specs are european... a/c, glass, etc. Then come to tropical SG, glass crack due to expansion in heat... i think should be like that....
now every Citaro on road is a "time bomb" liao lol

maybe you all can go amdep to see how is the damage... likely some branches or heavy thing hit the glass and it crack... i dun think that the glass can break easily under the temperature.. if so, in europe more worst? winter too cold, summer too hot?

This is not the first time sg transport operators are buying mercedes buses. I believe the SMRT O405 Hispano buses are also fully assembled from Europe and brought into sg just like the Citaros? How come this time round is like that? Even the air-con system and design is totally irrelevant for our climate! -

Some BC actually complain that the air outlet below the BC cabin is noisy.

aiks. i shall say once again... although the citaro is designed and manufactured in a european country w/ european climate, there are options for use in tropical climate.
there's options for double glazed windows which helps prevent heat from entering (just like the habit windows) and also makes the glass stronger. nothing much we can do if sbst or smrt are not willing to pay for this options.
