  27A starts at Buangkok MRT, not Sengkang.

  I support split route. 

  Either split at Tampines, or split entire route itself (meaning two routes ditto each other, only that one terminates at Tamp and use DDs while the other continues to CGA. freq for both will be lower than of current 27.)

  If no split, then 27A will get DDs while 27D (downroute from Tampines) will get DDs as well. 27 too many Citaros replace the JB KUB, it would have been a good idea to replace the KUBs with DDs on 27A.

  i ever feedback the same thing to caas b4 but they still want to remain unchanged. got skytrains to travel bet terminals so is not a prob. but should build long travellators to connect all terminals just like inside the check-in areas..

  For SMRT, are these any S2 shifts (extended shift) under BSEP? From what I see, there are only A/P shifts and split (S1) shifts...

  There were never peak hours DDs on 228. It was only cameo appearances.

  Plenty!

  Like all the empty spaces around the area at the end of Sheares Ave. 

  Possible for some Shenton Way svcs to extend to Marina South Pier too.

  I wonder why Mercedes Benz and MAN dont want to produce 12m tri-axles DD?Even Canada start using the E500s.MB can produce Citaro DD 10.7-11.3m 2 axles with OM906 7700cc and OM457 10700cc for the 12m tri-axles version..MAN also can produce 12m tri axles using either 320 or 360hp version and im pretty sure HK will be their first customer to order

  For Mercedes-Benz, that may depend on how well-received is their Mercedes-Benz engine and transmission option under Wrightbus StreetDeck Euro VI.

  If Hong Kong wants to get MAN, maybe they will consider this.
