Services that does not have very good demand can just continue with old buses.

Actually, I prefer Scania K230UBs for several 'minor' reasons.
1-The air conditioning system on Citaro. Simply horrible!
During afternoon, Citaros are so NOT comfortable at all!
2-The seats. Damn uncomfortable. The cushion lining is so thin. And at the front 2 seats nearest to the front door, the seats will burn up easily especially on airport bound services! Want bbq my ass is it?
Seats on KUBs are more comfortable imo.
3-The stupid hydraulic system. Whenever the bus open its doors, the bus will be tilted to the LEFT side! This dosent happend in KUBs at all! Due to the bus tilt, it makes it so hard to walk on the stupid bus!
4-Not much leg room space! Dosent happend on kubs also! Esp. those on the rear back-front seats. During peak-hours, simply very cramped! Not just the rear sits, the 2 front seats nearest to the door are also super cramped! KUBs are much more spacious!
5-Poor crowd management. Try taking high demand services in the morning. Simply cannot go into the bus at all! End up waiting for the next bus.
SBST, please do not buy anymore Citaros, 300 is enough! PLEASE!

I can also say that Citaros are not comfortable if I can give reasons.

SBST, please do not buy anymore Citaros, 300 is enough! PLEASE!I agree with you on SBS Transit should not buy anymore Citaros in the future. If SBS Transit were to buy SDs, they could purchase Volvo B9Ls or even MAN and Scania buses.

Actually 300 is more than enough.
Still, SBST need to consider the capacity of buses.
Some buses can be brought to do shorthaul services like feeder services...
Citaros are just merely to replace the Mk3s!!!
Mk4s need to be replaced by better buses better than those crappy citaros!!!
They can buy higher-capacity buses.
For your point 5, the actual capacity of a scania k230ub is 92 instead of stated 87.
Maybe for citaro, they also measured with people ductaped onto the roof!!!
Like that then I will believe the capacity is 90.
The aisles are too TINY!!!!
Add on :
Especially the 2 seat that is facing each other at the rear, the one facing forward gives you a feel of ''bus sick'' as I REALLY HAVE SEEN PEOPLE PUKING AFTER ALIGHTING THE BUS. -

KUB is considered the better bus in terms of load capacity now...

Look at the Introductions thread. A clone wouldn't dare to introduce himself at all.

It can be counted as one of the nice buses together with MK2s, MK3s, MK4 DMs and MK4 Striders

I'm not sure why they are holding back Citaros for 40 though, its long overdue for 40 to go WAB, 8415K & 8417E have been there for 4 years already.
