  If I'm not wrong, the 5 new livery MAN might carry SMB1400H - SMB1404Y regos... Just nice...

  im guessing that the 3digit Regos are for high capacity buses

  You know what is a trade plate?

  Trade plate is a blue colour plate that usually hangs at the rear, next to the rego. On the front also have.

  Anyways, 1405U spotted at Coporation Rd..

  Nope, it is an exact rego that can be registered soon. The trade plate is not the rego itself.

  They want to standardize their fleet by having just only MAN and MB buses. If not later repeat the same mistake by buying too many models and then cannot maintain well (eg Scania L113CRL ELBO and Dennis Lance).

  I dun mind if theres 300 A22s with Lion city hybrid body and another 100 is other design gemilang bodied.

  If there is MAN 12m DDs then i dun mind having 2 different bodies and gearbox.

  Just another 100 units of Scania/Volvo or E300 is enough,rest maintain it well
