Oh ok.

Unless the layout at PTB1 changes.

A lot SMRT services anti-DD... Get the picture now? Don't be so biased against 'em... Am I right SBS8501U/TIB1138M?
A lot of these services ply along DTL western wing. When DTL opens, most of these services don't even need to use high capacity buses. Some of the route might even be axed or shortern.
And some of these services are affected by low branches along Dunearn Road. I would suggest LTA and NEA to work together to relocate these low branch trees and replace them with high branching trees, thus to allow double deckers to ply along the road. It is such a waste that double deckers can't ply along that stretch of road just because of low tree branches to provide a better bus service overall.
Worse that because of this, many commercial vehicles as well, especially large mobile cranes and container trucks have to make a big detour just because of this. Wasting fuel and money for companies.

I never every go to Changi Airport Term. Where is it located?

Spore zoo u turn there bendy got no problem turning leh,Bendy turning radius is much better than 12 m didn't you know TIB501D?only 927 doesn't warrant a bendy that's all

The layout at PTB2 is also a little bit hard for bendies but it should still be able to manuevre out. PTB1 is definitely the problem... The lane for the bus is simply too small for any headways. It would definitely be like this.

Bendy appeared on 927 before.

172 do not need DD / bendy. This bus goes from Poyan Court all the way to Choa Chu Kang. All lim chu kang routes do not even need a proper DD unless 190 extended to Lim Chu Kang.LOL 190 extend to Lim Chu Kang?

The Singapore Zoo u-turn is like 962 at Admiralty Street and 300 at CCK.

People, let's not assume anything. All manufacturers will be in for a chance. Yes, the usual candidates such as the Mercedes-Benz Citaro G or MAN NG 323/363 A24 are the obvious choices, but others such as the Scania N 320/360 UA, Volvo B9LA, Irisbus Citelis 18, or even Chinese products are also available to whoever wants to buy them.
Yeah hope its MAN NG363 A24.

I know but i mean the loads doesnt require bendies at all,Just add another full day bus is enough.

Volvo is too over rated for DD engines...
3 axle versions of SDs[not bendys] are very common in Europe for their capacity and manuverability, makes includes MAN, Citaro, took in Salzburg[2012], really appreciate the smooth, powerful ride

You mean Cummins M-series? -
Don't be surprised if SMRT gets the B12BLEA.
BTW, is Neoplan still doing DDs? IF they are SMRT should consider those since they are now buying from MAN.

What about KUA? -
I prefer the Cummins Enviro 500 over any other DDs but too bad the previous Cummins Dennis left a skeptical remarks on our PTO.I believe Cummins has improve since it became Alexander-Dennis.
@Iveco,Trust me that they won't give a hoot about B12BLE.MAN 10500cc and OC 12000cc road tax already a bane for them.Their requirement should be under 10000cc with good horsepower rating buses.Neoplan nowadays concentrate on intercity/Coaches only since they merge with MAN.VanHool only bendy and 12m.So DD left only Alexander-Dennis,Volvo & Scania unless MAN can offer 12m 3x DD to them.
As for bendy it's usual MB,MAN and I'm not surprise if Irisbus or even VanHool send their application

The best is to buy those which can turn more at smaller radius and reverse without any difficulty.

Not a chance. Perth bought the last of the Volvo B12BLEAs. The B12-range is no longer in production.

for bendies on 858
two places with problems
CGA Terminal 1,2,3
bus bay cannot handle bendies as it blocks other bus services behind
if the bay is the rear most, still not possible. the only solution is to give 858 a dedicated bay on the other side.
Jln Kayu Ter
this should be skipped for 858

one BC could U-turn a rigid as if it is a car (i think is TIB1257C, lances)
what's a u-turn for bendies?
even if 804or 912 wasn't changed, it could still u-turn even with bendies

Stick with MAN/OCs is still the best for 858. Unless they can provide a "OC-bendy", if not it's somewhat the same. And with Bendy on 858, I sense most passengers will "chop" seats with bags and luggage ><

there is OC500UA, but i doubt it would bring in, there are much better bendies out there
bendies would be needed on 902
some services need full bendy perms

I have seen TIB866B on 858 at WRI picking up passengers at the 903/858/969 berth...
