  So the BSEP buses and the buses from SMRT are completely different orders? Like that there's 224 MAN A22 buses already.

  Consider got 23 MAN registered under the BSEP scheme, if the max number for now was 200, shouldn't the highest rego number under the non-BSEP registrations be SMB365H?

  Unless SMRT also skips their MAN rego for BSEP, but up till now we have not seen that.

  Maybe if non of the buses purchased by SMRT is registered under BSEP scheme, the MAN A22s were purchased by LTA themselves?

  I believe that smrt have exercise their option to purchase another 50-100 units more to cover for the BSEP.

  Oh then, thanks for correcting me...but whether SMRT purchased some more A22 buses or skipping registration numbers it is still a myth.

  Gemilang is an upand coming bodywork manufacturer. I see no reasons why some has to hate it to the core.
