  I think i know why the next package is Woodlands... Mandai Multi Depot is currently under construction...

  So i presume that Woodlands and Sembawang (probably some Yishun Services) will be part of this package....

  Sungei Seletar Package would be the rest of Yishun, Yio Chu Kang, Ang Mo Kio (probably Bishan) services...

  Just my two cent of opinion...

  What kind of/how are interest/joy derived from the hobby of buses or bus interests?

  What do bus enthusiasts do besides spotting buses?

  What are the proportion of bus enthusiasts that work in the transport sector? Be it public or private, LTA, SMRT, SBS, Comfort , etc etc

They are keeping 100+ buses somewhere and can still say twice the number have been deployed...did they make a mistake or something?

  dun ask me..

  i would think that LTA is talking about 148 buses.....instead of 248 buses as of end feb

  Why so concern about rego?LTA already owned all buses,The main thing is co logo to be pasted at the buses.

  I have a feeling that most of the buses on the GCM routes that have the "SBS" or "SMB" prefix are only waiting to be re-registered and given the new livery - especially the ones going to tower transit.

  saw a certain SG plated citaro on Sv 112 today 

  Would Scania K230UBs be SG plated as well? IMO they should really stop on the orders of the citaros..

  SBST/LTA should have at least kept the promotional green bus cartoons on those buses.

  It should start operations in August.

  Go Ahead is starting in 3rd quarter.

  It should start operations 3 months (one quarter) after Tower Transit.

  The SBS659x Citaros may be used for Go-ahead training, besides the three SG-plated Citaros.

  SG1080A may be for training as well.
