New Hino/UD Low Floor?

  Anyone who watched Japan Hour last Sunday (4th April 2004) will know what I'm talking about.
  
  In one of the segments of a trip to find a hot-spring inn, the host boarded a shuttle bus from the airport. The interesting part is that the bus is low floor or at least looked like one. I presume that the bus is a low floor variant of the Nissan UD or the Hino.
  
  If that bus is indeed a low floor Hino or UD, I guess we have a chance to see them on Singapore roads in future.
  
  Cheers and warm regards

  It's possible, but TIBS have an obligation to buy Mercs and SBST Volvos!

  Remember Hino used to supply buses to TIBS w/o asking for a downpayment when TIBS are short of buses last time.So now it's up to TIBS to return the favours.
  Hope to see either TIBS or SBST purchased an Irisbus Renault Agoraline stepless bus in future.
