Then why they just buy only 103 E500 leh...should just buy 200 units first.OC also only 134 units and best of all only 51 units Citaro.

smrt have not announced how many E500 they buy.. all the info given are just rumours.. and they do not need so much DDs now as well, until the bendies are gone. so why order so much? They were offered the OC first mah... then Singaporeans keep complaining of the steps then they take in citaros, and then MAN came in with much better offers mah .... that why theyorder at least 500 MAN A22....

someone pls shift SMB3114X, SMB3115T and SMB3116R from BSEP Batch 3 back to BSEP Batch 2 due to no interior difference from SMB3052R

They are put as Batch 3, because they are extra buses that are not in the intial order of 400 buses...
I suspect that these buses are also under LTA's recent decision for more BSEP buses on the road and more new bus routes... -

Yea, strangely I prefer to have O405s be the mass perm buses on services rather than the MANs, like 188...

After since 925 became under WLDEP, I hardly see any DAF. Mostly KJ's O405s, occasionally DAF. Last time it goes on an "almost daily basis"

Yeah true those 975 x 925 x-over. I miss riding on an OC. Citaro i can ride on SBST buses. I miss the Lance i took on 969, freaking fast on TPE. Miss the ELBO on 187. Miss those striders i took on 187/167/980 especially the 5xx series. Soon gonna miss the 0405s, their aircon sometime is really superb to the point i shiver hahahais

It just sucks seeing MAN A22 On Woodlands area.

I rode OC on a daily basis in 2011/2012 on 858, back then 858 has almost full fleet OC, from SMB119C to SMB134H excluding 123P n 125J. Including 19H,20C,67T,69M,84T,60L to 62G. I have rode on all of these buses before. U shld try riding one on buses like 851/853 or BBT svc.
OC is a very good bus, the aircon was as cold as the 0405s one. Now OC is like a 'rare' occurence in Woodlands, last time it is daily occurence

A22 will be far more tolerable if not for their obnoxious lion hair that is a maintenance and cleaning nightmare in the making. and the few units with certain seats being removed for more 'standee space' which cant be tapped anyway, especially at the rear.
