  You guys do realise that these new buses will likely be running on 96, amongst other services right?

  The 3 tender packages will likely have a fleet size of 300-400 buses.

  Where do you think these buses will come from?

  Malaysia?

  You can dream somemore.

  For myself I am happy to have buses with aircon to ferry me from A to B.

  As for those who imagine that the 3rd operator will be local, I imagine that it is a little of wishful thinking. 

  The best I can forsee would be local-foreign consortium.

  Foreigners are eyeing the 20% rather keenly, and why not?

  Haha not china bus ah.

  Gemilang coachwork quality is still ok. Have improved since the OC/KUBs days (or is it because A22 bodywork is licensed so must meet some quality standard).

  Since Batch 3's registration is continued from Batch 2, then most likely SMB3117M onwards will be registered on 1st July...
