  I remember seeing it last month at downtown. Did anyone went onboard it? It was on trial run. It was titled "Perth"
  
  By the way, how many Volvo CNG buses does SBST have

  SBS will have 20 CNG volvo buses on the roads. Only 2 are currently in operation if I am not wrong.

  Hi, AirBus
  Glad to "meet" you

  Hello, well I am the founder of this forum but I won't considered myself the head because there are so many more people who know more about buses then me.
  
  I see that you are a newbie here. Enjoy your discussions here, feel free to private message me if you have any questions.This goes to everyone else.

  This makes to me 1 pt
  
  By 2006, all buses have to be replaced to either CNG or Euro 4 standard. So what buses would be coming in?

  jus a bit more info:
  
  the 2 Volvo CNG buses, 2988M and 2989K, are running as "demonstrators" on svc 105. tis is cos of the 30% higher costs of running these CNG buses that they run on a special schedule only at peeak hours. i copied down the timesheet and it's found at 2989K Timesheet.
  
  there other 12 CNG buses that are already in Singapore are currently held in bbdep, though i seem to have read somewhere that 2992A is in hgdep.
  
  all these 14 buses' bodywork are from Volgren.

  All the buses have been affixed rego plates, they have NOT been registered with LTA yet. Even when 9804P suddenly popped into TPY Int last Feb, it wasn't registered! They still hung the blue, temporary plate.

  They fix rego plate, then register later. Blue plate will be used ONLY when bus is moving on public road
