Hi friends, I have created a new thread, as this thread has reached the limit of 2000 posts. Let's continue at the new thread, titled "MAN double-decker bus (Part 2)". Thank you.

Go-Ahead Singapore also "won by low-balling" when they participated in the Loyang bus tender previously, and they requested for a uniform fleet of only one single-decker bus model and one double-decker bus model. I would expect SBS Transit Limited to also have only two bus models: one single-decker and one double-decker, but the bus models may not necessarily be Volvo B9TL or Mercedes Citaro. Probably the bus models that are commonly used in the Seletar package bus routes, that are operated by the incumbent operators today.
GAG sure learnt quickly after their failure at Bulim. However, we can say TT were the lowest bidders if we excluded the incumbents from the list.

I would expect SBST Seletar will use
Some of the B3 SG MAN A95 for Yishun svc
Some LG SG A22 for Yishun svc
Some SG SBST base livery Citaro/B9TL from SMRT for AMK & YCK Svc.
And im not suprised if LTA also ask them to take the unexpected stuff.

SG5835M > SBST FIRST A95 Inside info. Idk wich depot
-
Quite high chance it's Seletar depot, because if SBS Transit has a MAN A95, it's probably for the Seletar BCM package.
To see whether there's a MAN A95 at Seletar depot, take bus 965 from opposite Khatib MRT, or Sengkang Bus Interchange. Along the way, you can see the bus park of Seletar depot.
No guarantee that the SBS Transit MAN A95 is at Seletar depot, but there's a possibility that it is there.

Agreed,They did bid for Bulim with a quite high pricing.Afterall its natural for 1st timer to bid higher to cover cost.If both TTS & GAS have one contract each,Im sure they will bid lower than before.

Speaking of MAN DD,I'm not suprised if the last 30-40 units will be going to TTS & GAS for the auto ramp and USB things ...If that happens,I'm very delighted..
