After the "GA" incident last time, think they would rather take longer time to evaluate.. no hurry also, since the contract will only start in March 2018 i think...so by end march should announced...
Tower Transit to roll out "signature scent" on 100 buses
SINGAPORE: The next time you board a Tower Transit bus, you may be greeted by a hint of perfume. It's the transport company's "signature scent" which was introduced on Tuesday (Feb 28), and will be rolled out on 100 buses in March.
For a start, the scent made its debut on Tuesday on one of the service 97 buses, which runs from Jurong East to Marina Bay.
In a news release, Tower Transit said it hopes to make the journey more pleasant for passengers. "Research has shown that pleasant scents can enhance moods. Some scents also help to counter symptoms of motion sickness," said Tower Transit’s group communications director Glenn Lim.
It commissioned AllSense, the company behind fragrances used at Changi Airport and ION Orchard, to create a scent that is exclusive to the transport operator and spent two months developing it.
The result is a scent that has "refreshing top notes of fresh grass, lemon and orange, overlaying floral and peppermint notes, with a foundation of ylang and sandalwood", said Tower Transit.
The "signature scent" will be installed over the next month on 100 buses, which will be deployed on services 66, 97 and 106.
Tower Transit said there are also plans to give out its scented hand sanitisers on board selected services.
More and more new "ideas"! If i'm not wrong, some SMRT buses have air freshner last time as well?
Bound to be people complaning that it's too strong, not nice smell or feel giddy after smelling.

Some lobbyist must have told them that doing that will score an "edge" over their rivals to win Seletar.

That's going to enbolden lobbyists to ask operators for more gimmicks. Maybe someone might convince TT to retrofit exit doors of every bus to be sliding plug type.

It was so fun closing the roof hatches when it rained. Everyone had such strong legs after climbing up and down the steps even on SD's (minimum 5 steps each way). And now I imagine my toilet folding door as the bus folding doors. So fun to tsssh open then tsssh close it rite hahahah

4 operators can. SBST, SMRT, TT and new one. Which is the odd one out? :-)
Need I say?If LTA enforced all operators to have USB DDs then GAS no choice
I'm like TT, just like TT...
Tell me that it would be SBS Transit.

Just took a Mercedes 0405G bendy. Still got that perfume scent on board. Hopefully, the TT one smells as nice.
84 qualify to renumbered as 384...381 route is longer than 84
