It will be interesting that SMRT Citaros without rimguards.
Hope SMRT will take off the rim guards of all their Citaros in future.

Like how AMDEP remove most of the rim guards of the O405s and O405Gs?
Originally posted by SBS 9631X:Some update: The 3 new shiny-shiny Citaros in BNDEP are still rego-less. Still parked together at the Sv 3 parking lot as a trio, but the one closest to the road has no rim covers already (yes, when it hasn't even been out yet). Not sure about the other two.
I don't think they are part of those already registered under BSEP..or the rego plates haven't been attached yet.
The 3 Citaros r now with rego plates alr if i saw correctly just now..There were also 4 MK4 DMs parking beside them.

With rego plates already uh? Hmm, I think I'll spot them tomorrow again then when I go to Bedok. The 4 DMs are the Sv 3 buses uh, they always park them together.

Yeah, they were part of the initial batch of 300 buses. Pulled out from that batch and registered under BSEP scheme instead (to appease the public I guess). Those buses that were actually ordered under the BSEP announcement won't come so soon, probably only late next year or something. They can't deliver that fast.

The deregisteration dates will likely to be messed up in future.

Not the first time this will happen. Look at the Euro IV KUBs. Some of the KUBs (8433H onwards) were reg at the same time as 8137M that batch back then (i.e. expiry in Apr 2025), while those reg-under normal sequence (8429X-8432K) will only go in Dec 2025. See the difference in date of expiry already? The Wrights will also suffer the same fate given how they jump to 33xx series, and there's that 3269Z that was reg before the rest in the later part of the 31xx series.
High chance 6176M out of sv 109 and replaced by DD (SBS 3157M)

Did the timetable reflect any changes in WAB trips? If there isn't, means 6176M is out. I expected 984L to go out instead, but heck it's still on 109. Sigh.
SBS6223K (BN 30e/222) now without rim covers.

(BNDEP)
These are the 3 rego-less Citaros I reported last week in BNDEP. Now with rego plates after checking it out at BNDEP today. The 3 still parked at the same spots at the Sv 3's parking area. 6317Z is the one without rim covers as of now, the other two I can't see if their rim covers are still intact from the road.
Interestingly, they are parked together with 5 other Mk4 DMs (which are not any of the Sv 3 permers) in the same area. The 5 Mk4 DMs are 914P, 922R, 930S, 919B, 923M (in order of parking side-by-side). All 5 are repainted in some way or another.

Hmm, they took the trouble to start up the engines every day? Maybe the BSEP announcement is near end-Oct I guess..

Yeaps, thanks for your update that I went down yesterday to take a look. Uh yeah, I spotted 914P around noon time though in BNDEP.
I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but some of the Citaros are suffering from turbo boost issues already..
It's nothing to do with the amount of pressure the BC use to floor, cause in case I've seen, it's relatively the same. It's the way the turbo boost propels the Citaro that is different, especially significant from 2nd gear to 3rd gear & 4th. 1st gear to 2nd gear turbo boost doesn't do anything much in any Citaro (that change is like Mk4 ZF shifting from 1st to 2nd).
I sat on 6127E (HG 151) & 6132P (HG 158) lately on 109. Driven by the same BC IIRC, both times he was late, but the way 6127E moved even with turbo boost (by that sound) was really lethargic compared to 6132P. It's like 6127E had the turbo sound, but the speed gain is much slower compared to 6132P. Hmm.
