  Singapore is a clean and green city. I feel that green colour is better. Green buses can blend with the vegetation along the roads in Singapore. :)

  Sadly there's only 2 choices and the colours looks a little dull... Rather they hold a design competition.

  Seriously both the colours are too dull,I prefer if they just follow LTA colours of white,dark blue and a bit of grey.

  Ulu Pandan depot:500 lots(Jurong East/Clementi/Buona Vista-Ghim Moh/Kent Ridge)

  Pasir Panjang depot:550 lots(Bt Merah/Harbourfront/Marina South/New Bridge Rd)

  Kallang depot:500 lots(Marina South/Kallang-Bencoolen/Eunos)

  Changi depot:600 lots(Upp East Coast/Bedok/Marine Parade/Changi Business Park/Tampines)

  Loyang depot:500 lots(Pasir Ris/Changi Village/Changi Airport/Tampines)

  Sengkang depot:500 lots(Punggol/Sengkang/Buangkok)

  Kim Chuan depot:550 lots(Hougang/Serangoon Central/Bedok/Bidadari)

  Bishan depot:500 lots(Ang Mo Kio/Bishan/Toa Payoh/St Michaels)

  Sungei Seletar depot:500 lots(Ang Mo Kio/Yio Chu Kang/Yishun)

  I hope Kumho can take Seletar. Maybe they can bring in some practices from Seoul that may actually be beneficial considering TT and GAG are planning to implement some measures commonplace to Perth and London that Singaporeans may find inconvenient.

  For sungei seletar package my feeling is

  Yishun:171,800,803,804,805,806,811,812,851,852,853,854,855,857 & 860

  Yio Chu Kang:70,72 & 76

  Ang Mo Kio:73,86,130,135,138,261,262 & 269.

  Sure, that can happen.  The real question is whether Go-Ahead is going to receive A22s and Enviro500s for it to deploy in Loyang.

  I hope Go-Ahead will receive both A22 and Enviro 500, that's would be interesting for the E50D and A22 running 2, 12, 17 etc.

  Unfortunately there is only 201 units of E500 and majority with SMRT.LTA order too many B9TLs.

  actually, Sentosa is a good location to build bus depot, for bus services in the southern part of Singapore. There is abundant land in Sentosa. We can acquire part of Serapong Golf Course (and replace it with new empty land east of it) to build bus depot. The buses can enter/exit via Sentosa Gateway.

  I think the LTA helps to speed up the process for B9TLs. The E500s take a lagi slow time.

  LTA might have considered A95 over E500.

  If anyone had noticed, there was 2 bids from MAN, LTA chose the more expensive one, which I believe is a DD (custom A95?). Since they need a SD and DD concept, the ADL might very much be a SD (custom E300?) as ADL only provided a single bid that is cheaper than the more expensive selected bid from MAN. Perhaps LTA is seeing how these potential models stack up compared to the majority here.

  For AMK, I'd rather 169 were also included, with 130 & 135 taken off. Makes sense also to include 159 & 163 since they ply SKG West along with 86. Leave the AMK feeders alone and throw in 39. If can farm out to Asian operator lagi best.

  I got a feeling BRBP wilk be closed for bus park and a new bigger depot replace Amdep and BRBP too..So assuming the new Bishan depot will take over Toa Payoh/Bishan/St Mikes and a few of AMK Svc.

  ADL did not offer any SD option for the tender.

  STK offered a combined SD and DD bid (Option 3), but this separate bid was not shortlisted.
