currently, there are 96 citaros, and 131 B9 waiting to transfer to TT for bulim package
there are some buses which might not be transferred over (those newer regos?)
plus 67 A22 (excluding the 11 BSEP A22 on 975)...
so total: 294 buses...
i believe that the E500 might not be going over, while the 11 A22 on 975 will go over, as TT have registered around 40 new B9, which can be used for 106/189....
Is anyone compiling chassis numbers of the BSEP buses? It would be useful for the "Transferred" aspect of new/transferred buses.
SG17xx series deployed to KJ routes today
Wonder why they use SG prefix?Singapore Gahmen or SinGapore?
saw one SG-prefix bus today doing Tower Transit training. instead of the Tower Transit ABCD advertisement, it is a LTA advertisement on their mytransport mobile phone app.
I am just wondering. if they decide to delay the repainting of the existing SBS and SMRT buses with the SG-prefix in the GCM, would the interim measure be to use LTA advertisement to cover up the livery of SBS Transit and SMRT?

That is certainly a possibility. Some of these buses (especially BSEP) already bear some form of full-body advertising.
However, it is far less confusing to paste/repaint/etc the generic GCM livery on existing buses before the handover, and to paste the new operator's logo overnight when the handover comes.

That I agree.
So do you all think red or green will win?

i srsly hope red wins. the green look like first coach malaysia. damn ugly. if u say it look nice now is only cos got graphics n text. the plain one ugly.
Property, plant and equipment increased due mainly to the addition of rail operating assets, trains, buses and taxis, partially offset by the sale of 110 buses acquired under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (“BSEP”) to the Land Transport Authority (“LTA”).
Lower borrowings was due to repayment of secured fixed rate loan for the buses acquired under BSEP, in conjunction with the sale of the 110 buses.
So what's the 110 buses probably?
My guess is:
SG1700U - SG1748H (49)
There are 5 registered buses and 44 remaining buses to be registered under the current batch.
SMB1421Y - SMB1650C: 230
SMB3117M - SMB3169M: 53
SG1700U - SG1748H: 49
Total: 332
and
SMB3001M - SMB3061P (61)
All currently under BUDEP & KJDEP and some are SP/deployed to services under the Bulim Bus Package.
SMB3063J and SMB3065D [as of checking SgWiki today] are deployed to BUDEP 106, so might be another 2 or 4 buses (who knows .. ), ending up to 63 or 65 buses or in the future redeploy to a non-Bulim Bus Package service and remained with SMRT ...
(Disclaimer: This is just a presumption, so it might be wrong ...)

Those unregistered buses are not on SMRT balance sheet yet . So how can they sell it back? These 110 buses are the older BSEP buses. SBST also transfer back the ownership to LTA.
so currently which SBST depots is using SG plate buses? I know got BNDEP and HGDEP

After Tower Transit takes over the 26 Bulim bus services, there will be 99 BSEP WEG buses left for Loyang. But Go-Ahead will take over (about) 100 WEG buses, so where is the missing 1 bus?
My guess: SBS3979H. It is the only one of the 38 WEG buses that LTA is buying that is currently deployed to a Loyang GCM bus service.

IMO, too early to say. They haven't started mass redeploying BSEP buses to the Loyang GCM services. My advice is wait for that to happen first.
Anyway where did you arrive at 99 BSEP buses?

Oops, I forgot that SBS3483X-SBS3486M have not been registered.

No, I meant serious question, where did you start counting from? (Because I don't know where to count from)
