SBST has bought too many SDs.
TT will get the Citaros,B9TLs and some A95s and A22s first.

Yes, registered to Tower Transit now.

If these buses can be re-registered to another operator, I wouldn't see why they won't be doing so for the MAN A95s.

I hope LTA would supply some Scania K230UB E5 to GA as well..essential for svc like 12,15,17 or 43.

I doubt it all, let's see will GA get A22 and E500MMC, otherwise they will totally stuck with B9TL and Citaro, but I think GA will be 99% stuck with B9TL and Citaro, no way~~
A relevant discussion from main GCM thread.
Let me explain why there shouldn't be a problem with regoes... and why LTA has created one.
None of the BSEP buses' regoes at the moment clash with SG, so let's just look at among each other. (If you want a hypothetical scenario let's just direct replace the SBS and SMB prefixes with SG -- mostly no clash)
2000-2004: Citaro
3001-3169: A22
3300-3500: B9TL
3501-3523: B9TL and Enviro500
3524-3611: Enviro500
6300-6599: Citaro
Notice that none of them clash, except the 3501-3523 range.
This would not be a problem, since only a few Enviro500s are going to be incorporated into the GCM in the first place. We could avoid the clash of 3501-3523 by simply exempting that range of E500s from the GCM and using the others first.
The problem then, is that of the very few E500s that are going to GCM, LTA went and picked the ones that clash with B9TLs! (3501-3521)
Hence the problem would have been neatly avoided if LTA had simply allocated the last 21 BSEP E500s to TT instead of the first.

I have a feeling that bus service 106 will use the Volvo B9TL (Wright Eclipse Gemini 2) buses when Tower Transit takes over.
Likewise, I feel that bus service 173 will use the Mercedes-Benz Citaro buses when Tower Transit takes over.

Agreed..Unless its SG plate A95s and A22s

A total of 94 buses were transferred from SMRT to Tower. A correct version of the wiki was available in the afternoon but was changed/undid to an inaccurate version.
Update: Inaccurate wiki pages have been revised to show the earlier accurate versions.
The first buses arrived at Bukit Batok interchange just after 5am, hours after about 90 buses were transferred over from existing bus operator, SMRT Corporation.
Tower Transit said 62 of its buses will be operating on Sunday, manned by about 130 bus captains. The company is also implementing a "buddy system" on some buses over the next few days. A more experienced bus captain will be guiding the driver to ensure operations run smoothly. The company said 94 buses will be on the roads on Monday.
