I'm not trying to shoot you down & I have no intention to (I'm going to try to put it to you in a nicer manner than 'SBS6078M' in case you shoot him too), but the reason why 36 is making do with its fleet of KUBs (majority Euro Vs somemore) is because the crowds along certain sectors of its route is really really heavy. The Suntec-Orchard area is one, the Marine Parade that area also.
If 36 gets Citaros, yes it will be faster and less lethargic on the expressway stretches. But the time made up on the expressway sectors would be lost once you hit those bus stops with such heavy pax traffic. The KUBs are just faster in loading everyone onboard to be honest due to its wider aisle and larger standing area below the steps.
The higher roof of the KUBs also makes it easier for the BC to see if there's any alighting pax who is trying to get out but stuck in the bus. I've encountered many BCs driving the Citaros which are packed who either: 1) Missed the stop where pax already pressed the bell long ago (no 'Stopping' warning light on dashboard for Citaros, KUBs have), or 2) stuck at the bus stop for twice the time needed in a KUB because everyone's head is blocking the BC's view of seeing who exactly haven't alighted. And yes, that is with CCTVs fitted at the same positions as the KUBs on the Citaros.
And if I'm not wrong (I'm not too sure about this), but the KUBs are more suitable for 36 too because 36's rest time at CGA (that is its only terminating point) is slightly shorter than the other airport services with Citaros (24 at AMK, 53 at Bishan). Not to mention the jumpbus system of 36, the BC of the previous 36 bus usually jumps straight onto the next 36 bus that arrives around 5-10mins later to take over & drive straight away, rest for the BC yes but no rest for the bus practically. You probably won't feel it from inside or outside the buses accurately, but the Citaros actually run hotter than the KUBs. That's why if you put Citaros on 36, they might tend to overheat faster?
I also feel that 36 should stay with their K230UB perms.

Most likely most of the Citaros that appeared on 109 were HGDEP.

But in the past, B10Ms are able to deal with the crowds as well.
Maybe 39 should get some Citaros then.

True in a certain sense that the Mk4s on 36 previously managed the jobs well. But idk, probably the population back then wasn't that much compared to now? Or maybe less people thronged the Suntec-Orchard area
If 39 gets Citaros, it would be an interesting case. Now the BCs are all purposely trying to slow down alot on TPE/SLE stretch to avoid being too early for the stops after the expressway sector, if it does get Citaros, hmm let's see if the BCs can't resist the urge to floor or not.

Second-hand buses as in which context? Public operator to private operator or private-operator to private operator also affected?

SBS and SMRT can only buy brand new buses.

I rather hear from Gus.chong or someone else on this issue so that the info is more reliable.

I didn't say they are going faster in that context of top speed. If you got lost in what I posted, I was talking about the faster acceleration of Citaros to reach the max 60kmh they can do. Duh, I also know both are limited to 60kmh, not like the SMRT ones.
Oh I see! Didn't see that part earlier. Thanks!

It is pretty common right now.
Most of it is either from the services on Hougang Int or SP buses. -
