  The 21 B9TL buses transferred to SMRT have recently commenced revenue service on bus routes like 180 and 983.

  The buses are in lush green livery, with red colour SMRT logo.

  There will be more B9TLs to SMRT.

  I might think that SMRT will only maintain the 5xxx series E500 in exchange for those B9TLs...What the heck they taking B9TLs for when they did not even win any tender?Standardise?Then what about GA?Save cost?

  Different companies wouldn't even care about this...SMRT's case was purely avoid clashing with own buses.

  smrt already want to give up owning buses as their profit loss heavy. they just want to be a operator like TT or go ahead. so what ever bus model LTA give them they just take it.

  Give SMRT in exchage for a few A95s Lol

  No doubt the Wrights under SMRT will last...

  but definitely, regardless of whom, the 5 seats at the lower deck rear is definitely going to get hotter sooner(if one sit for quite some times). 

  If the rear design combines with Enviro/A95, meaning that there would be seat covers(or something else), I guess it would be the "perfect" bus imo...since Enviro/A95 does not have much problem with those seats.
