  Seriously, why 506 dun get Citaro anymore? There’s an obvious reason to it

  change depot. driver dunno how to drive citaro / not as many citaros in slbp than bbdep available for use / driver's preference not to drive citaro.

  unless u forgot 506 change depot in the first place..

  That's why I'm confused as to whether is there 20 or 21 buses as of now. There are outside schedule permers for 53 uh in the first place?

  there's usually no outside schedule perms for a service. Or there can be a roving perm bus that does not have a perm slot. amdep does not have this practice so its unlikely also. unless one of the regos i mentioned above has consistently been missing cos its in the workshop..

  This problem is bound for the future. All new buses will be full low floor in future. At least the Citaro is better than the MAN A22 which is even worse with the crooked aisle at the back. Too bad 36 can't use double deckers or else the Wrights will be the best choice. 506 actually if it has improved frequencies, Citaros shouldn't pose much problems.

  I hope Mercedes Benz will improve the back aisle problem for the Citaro 3 and hope SBST will buy more of the Citaro 3 in future.

  Yes!! 800 more Citaro 3s!!!

  Citaros should be no problem if they remove couple of seats front.The only pathetic is the tiny OM906 engine too tame I should say,The O405s performance are way better..MANs is a good bus actually,Spare parts wise is way much cheaper than Mercs and Volvos..

  Leyland Olympians 3-Axle only come in 1 batch, which is 200 buses.

  Why not you predict Citaro on services that operate on selective days?

  I seems to be confused...so it means the same Citaro did 161 for two consecutive days?

  He cant predict anything.He might make that up as he is just another shit who copies what people say and after wat SMB66X say that 161 got citaro for cameo.SMB228X might just anyhow say that he predicted.
