And someone posted a picture of green livery A95(should be), with headrest...on Sg road. That green livery carries some grey stripes, resembles GCM livery.

Another A95 with:
Red livery
SG♥BUS logo (its position is where the third brake light of the green A95 located at)
Third brake light (its position is halfway between the middle and bottom rear of the bus)
Vogelsitze 750/3 seats unlike the green A95
No TV unlike the green A95
No grey stripes unlike the green A95

I really wonder if my 43/34* crossover suggestion will even be seen by SBST/LTA/GAG.

While only 138 SG-plated buses have been registered, I really cannot stop myself from burst out laughing...the SG-plated BSEP Wrights have yet to be allocated to any depots, and those in the early 5000-series are registered but I don't think BUDEP need so many when they are not even on the roads yet (only a few of them are as part of driving tests). They are keeping 100+ buses somewhere and can still say twice the number have been deployed...did they make a mistake or something?

From the article ("It's a Lush Green makeover for new bus fleet"; 12 March 2016.) published by The Straits Times,

"The Straits Times understands that the next package of routes to be put up for bidding is likely to be in Woodlands."

"The makeover will start with 50 buses from late May, when Australian firm Tower Transit starts operating from the Bulim Depot in Jurong."

Because someone revealed the concept A95 too quickly before the bus carnival hence they ordered that one to be quickly stickered over in red and purposely indiscretely reveal it to the public.
