Start from SBS3425P, because TT will be using 125 Wrights currently operated by SBST.

the pubic transport wordpress blog say that the bulim package will have more MAN SDs than Citaro SDs. if they are right, this means we can expect all SBS Transit bus services with non-citaro SDs (ie. either some or all Scania KkBs) to have MAN SDs... eg. 334, 335... yay. :)

do not trust too much on what they wrote... they are also assuming that 12 E500 will be going over to bulim..
there are around 25 brand new citaros inside bulim depot now..so where did these citaros came from? are these going to be use for bulim package or just temporary park there?

so why 3425 was transferred to SLBP?

tbh, I feel that it is a waste that the Scania KkBs are not going to be used for GCM, as they make up the largest number of single decker buses in SBS's fleet. furthermore, the Scania KkBs are still new (introduced only in year 2009), and they are much more comfortable than the Citaros and the MAN single decker buses.
I understand that the GCM will only be fully implemented at around year 2021. It would be good if the Scania KkBs can be on the roads for at least ten years... what's the lifespan of buses by the way?

if I remember correctly, SMRT has around 201 Enviro-500 double decker buses. based on bulim gcm package where it needs around 188 double decker buses, I guess the Enviro-500 buses will be the sole model of double decker buses for one gcm package, with a spillover of around 20 to another gcm package. overall, I guess only two gcm packages will have the Enviro-500 double decker buses.

Previous regos? but those regos were not registered afaik

You know, if they can paste the "colour our buses" advertisement on around twenty buses in a short time, and take down the advertisement in a short time (overnight?), livery "advertisements" on three hundred and sixty-seven buses should be quite fast (within nineteen days?) to paste and take down. Besides, now is only 16 February. There are more than three months before the first batch of GCM bus services begins. I am sure they are able to put up the livery - whether re-stickered or paste advertisement - on all relevant buses before the commencement of the bus services.

just wondering, are there SG-prefixed buses deployed on bus services in the North and North-East areas of Singapore, like Yishun, Yio Chu Kang, Ang Mo Kio, Sembawang, etcetera.?

Most likely they will be repainted into SMRT livery.. maybe they will just use the SBST livery instead (since it was already painted n right now they are parking in WLBP In full SBST livery.....

bro, u sure or not?
i tot de buses deployed on bus service 382 G/W r de first 2 have permanent deployment on a bus service, since bus service 382 G/W is a BSEP new bus service n BSEP buses cannot be re-deployed to other bus services?

During the ABCD Carnival last year, Tower Transit revealed that they will use 188 units of Double Decker buses and 179 units of Single Decker buses, and 750 Bus Captains.
Well, with 125 Wright buses from SBS Transit, this means 63 Double Decker buses (188 - 125) would be brand-new.
Any idea about Citaros and A22s, and Enviro500s and MAN DDs?

I think there will be only 13 MAN A95s for Tower Transit. As for SDs, I think there will be 100 A22s and 79 Citaros.
I've been wondering: What SD buses will Go-Ahead use for Loyang package? There would only be 10 MANs left by then. There are also only 67 Citaros.

Saw this article on SBS Transit website, titled "Sale of New Buses and Novation of Contracts to Land Transport Authority".
According to that article, there is a "Sale of 50 new buses (‘Buses’) purchased by the Company from June 2015 to December 2015 to LTA. The Buses comprise 12 Single Deck buses and 38 Double Deck buses. The purchase consideration for the Buses will be at their respective Net Book Value (NBV) as at 31 December 2015 (‘Effective Date’). The total NBV of the Buses as at Effective Date amounts to approximately $23 million, representing 6.8% of the consolidated Net Asset Value of $338 million (as at 30 November 2015)"
In addition, there is the "Novation of procurement contracts (‘Contracts’) by the Company (SBS Transit) for purchase of new buses scheduled for delivery for 2016 and 2017 to LTA. The Contracts involve a total of 346 new buses comprising 100 Single Deck buses and 246 Double Deck buses with a contracted value of approximately $164 million. Out of the 346 buses, 210 buses are scheduled for delivery in 2016 and the remaining 136 buses in 2017."
In summary, by the end of 2017, there would be 396 of them (50 + 346), comprising of 112 Single Decker buses (12 + 100) and 284 Double Decker buses (38 + 246).
By the end of 2016, there would be 260 of them (210 + 50).
This is on top of the approximately "760 Government-funded buses have been added to the public bus network as part of the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP)" as of 31 December 2015.
As of 31 December 2015, LTA already has around 760 buses.
By the end of 2017, LTA would have around 1,156 buses (760 + 396). This number will be larger as other transactions are made known to the public (eg. sale and novation of buses from SMRT).
I guess the government-funded buses that are registered with the "SBS" and "SMB" prefix will be re-registered with the "SG" prefix.

and painted in red or green depend on voting by the people mean all SG buses will have one standard color red or green no company color. I refer LTA white color like the DTL MRT train with blue LTA logo.
