  And Superbus sounds way cooler than ADL Enviro blah blah.

  It makes every DD sound super.

  Including the LOs and VOs.

  Well, I know the ADL Enviro500 is used by many bus operators in Hong Kong.

  The Enviro500 (Asia Pacific) brochure at ADL's website mentioned KMB (Kowloon Motor Bus), MTR (Mass Transit Railway Corporation) and Citybus.

  I am not sure if there are other bus operators in Hong Kong that uses the ADL Enviro500.

  

  

  When I google-ed for images of ADL Enviro500, I noticed the front looks different for some buses, while the rest of the buses look similar.

  I guess this is because the former's chassis type is MMC (Major Model Change), while the latter's chassis type is Trident.

  Hehe, don't need to smoke me off and make me feel idiot, and good that u have found the transbus-era body! Doesn't look like a wright to me...

  Just to clarify on the history about the Transbus/Alexander Dennis Enviro 500 buses. 

  When Transbus International was formed after the merger in 2001, the old Dennis Trident 3 was still sold under the Dennis brand. In 2002, Transbus annouced the development of a new chassis based on the Trident 3, which is the Enviro 500.

  This is the Transbus Enviro 500 (which is still badged a Dennis):

  

  In 2004, Transbus became Alexander Dennis Limited, and the Enviro 500 received a new facelift and the Dennis badge was changed to Alexander Dennis:

  

  In 2012, Alexander Dennis unveiled a new generation of the Enviro 500 chassis and a new facelift design based on the Enviro 400. This chassis is known as the Enviro 500 NG (New generation) or the Enviro 500 MMC (Major model change):

  What SMRT ordered could be known as the Enviro 500 NG or the Enviro 500 MMC, both mean the same.

  I think they might dump some on 61, given the fact that it's long distance.

  180, 184, 962, 850E, 951E, 963E, 971E maybe...

  My proposal is:

  106, 169, 172, 180, 187, 188, 189, 190, 851, 854, 856, 857, 860, 903, 911, 963, 969, 985.

  903, 911 maybe on the second wave

  169, 190 and 857 is on high priority

  860is under BSEP wave for DD though

  quite surprise that 806 is not in the list

  My feeling says feeders and intratowns wont get DDs at least for this time..201 DDs not enough to play around and their priority list is for those high loadings trunks especially plying CBD areas..My guess is they wanna reduce bendies plying Orchard/Shenton Way/New Bridge Rd where traffic volume is super high

  I would add both 804, 806 but it would be a mix with Bendies in an effort to make these services WAB as they cater to many piw passengers who are left in lurch.
