Apologies, was rushing to type because of the GCM livery announcement.
I meant that it is likely that if a new bus were to replace it, it will bear an SG plate, since I suspect all new buses are being delivered with SG plates, a result of the LTA taking over SBS contracts.
SBST can use their old buses to replace the deregistered buses...they have so many spares buses... further, when GCM start, SBST will have some excess buses as well... they will have even more excess buses after loyang package (if LTA give go-ahead brand new SG plates buses, cos also not much BSEP buses to redeploy)...
-
Since LTA has 4 models (Citaro, B9TL, A22 & E500), it's best for 5 each to make up to 20...
-
Not sure if they will be out running any services during this voting period?
-
better put them on svcs so people can see the actual new colour livery to vote mah
-
SBS 3422 and 3423 have it (3422 red and 3423 green). 3510 also red.
Meanwhile 6502 and 6503 seems don't have

Personally, I feel that red colour is better than green colour.
Red colour is easier to see than Green colour, in a place where trees and grass are everywhere.
Green colour buses tend to blend in with the surrounding, and it may be un-comfortable for the eyes to see them.
Red colour buses contrast from the surrounding, and it may be more comfortable for the eyes to see them.

Funny la you,Green cannot see?Then black colour buses at night you miss it at night?

Whatever the livery, all Singapore public buses should carry the slogan "Without Buses, Singapore Stops". After all, some trucks in Australia carry the sign on the rear that says "Without Trucks, Australia Stops".

That truck slogan is pasted to show pride as truckies. It is not a professional sign, and thus should not be replicated for buses.

I have been asked to choose a colour that I would like to have as the common livery of buses in the Government Contracting Model, from the two colours - Red colour and Green colour - shortlisted by the LTA. To make a choice from the two colours, I considered the visibility, representation and uniqueness of the colours.
In terms of visibility, I feel that the colour of the bus should make the bus stand out from the surrounding, so that it is comfortable for the eyes to see. I feel that Red colour bus is easier to see than Green colour bus. In a place where there is vegetation everywhere (note: 'vegetation' here refers to trees and grass, not pubic hair.), there is green in the surrounding. If the bus is Green colour, it would tend to blend in with the surrounding. If the bus is Red colour, it would tend to contrast with the surrounding, since very limited vegetation and buildings today are Red in colour. Therefore, I feel that Red is the better colour.
In terms of representation, I feel that the colour of the common livery should represent the Singapore identity, since these are public buses on the public bus services in Singapore. Red colour has been related to Singapore since the early days when we were known as the "Little Red Dot". Red colour is one of the colours used on our National Flag and Crest. Meanwhile, Green colour is never used to relate Singapore in any way. Green is a colour that is foreign to Singapore and does not represent the Singapore identity. Therefore, I feel that Red is the better colour.
In terms of uniqueness, I feel that the colour used on the common livery should not be the same as the colours used on other vehicles, to avoid confusion. Otherwise, the colour used less frequently would be more appropriate. As far as I know, Red colour is used on Fire Engines, and Green colour is used on Army tanks. Army tanks are usually not on public roads, unlike the Fire Engines which are usually on public roads. As such, Green colour is less frequently used in vehicles on public roads. Therefore, I feel that Green is the better colour.
In conclusion, I feel that Red colour is the best colour for the common livery of buses in the Government Contracting Model. Although Green colour is more unique that Red colour, Red colour is more visible than Green colour, and it represents the Singapore identity.

From the Engineer's perspective, the colour used on the common livery on buses should be a poor absorber of heat, and a good reflector of heat.
By having a colour that is a poor absorber of heat and a good reflector of heat, this would ensure minimal amount of heat is gained by the bus, maximum amount of heat is dissipated by the bus, and minimal amount of air-conditioning is needed to cool the temperature in the bus.
When there is less heat in the bus, this reduces the chances of engines damaged due to over-hearing. By using minimal amount of air-conditioning, we can extend the life-span of the air-con chiller box (the one filled with gases which produces the cold air).
In this case, I feel that Green colour is better because it absorbs less heat than Red colour.

hahahahahaha.....didnt know that the surface heat can affect the performance of engine and caused engine to overheat?.... might as well dun use aircon, deploy non aircon buses.....

Stare at both Red and Green under the sun, from a vehicle stalling behind the bus view, many would say RED will cause discomfort in their eyes...
