Guess what 12-metre buses will SMRT buy besides MAN?
-
I think SBS purchase MAN already. 2 white colour MAN at HGDEP. Behide look like SMRT MAN but roof with a square thing. Photo: https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=107066332797119&id=101839826653103&set=a.107066266130459.279.101839826653103&__user=100000475481964

You people are asking for trouble especially after the SMRT vandalism case.
-
But anyway I will let on as much that it looks like a Volvo 7700.
Be prepared to be surprised.
Very surprised.
But dont expect the buses to be SBST's property. I can only imagine that they are on trial.
I might be wrong, but we'll see.
After all it is generally known that LTA is trying to get the PTOs to trial hybrid buses.
-
look like a volvo bus than MAN. Do a google search the roof top thing look more like a volvo B9L. The SBST new single decker bus or SMRT new bus? since comfortdelgro (SBST mother company) is selling volvo buses.
-
I've always hoped for SBST to purchase the MAN Lion's City DDs since they are longer than the standard 12m ones and have 3 doors and two staircases to facilitate quicker unloading. And the rear staircase is curved! If only LTA would allow 12M+ rigids.
-
I guess sbst or SMRT might own this buses but has limited number of them. smrt has tender for 12m new buses.

Problem is that 12M+ SD/DDs = Turning epic fail like SBS997A.
Plus the MAN Lion City DD is not really suitable for SG, if the bus is 13.7M with 2 staircases and 3 doors, the capacity of the bus will drop quite a bit.
-
I think they're shorter than the Superlong B10M right? Anyway if HK drivers can squeeze 12m buses through one-way streets with 90 degree turns, SG drivers can do better with our much wider roads. I think the two staircases are better for a DD so that commuters can simultaneously go up and down the stairs. 3 doors would also mean more standing space on the bottom deck.

That's the Volvo B9L with GML body.Aha who say the exhaust design can't be approved?

Yes. That is the one I am on about. I'm not sure about the odds but replacement should be announced by the 2nd quarter of this year.

Every bus must have a basic coating background before spraying/pasting anything on it. So since it's white, it can be for Private Operators(like Comfort Delgro), or SBS Transit or SMRT.
