I got ever see before, just recently, not on MAN DD, but on the usual Volvo B9TL... the driver put air freshener in front of him... you know, that one that car drivers and taxi drivers put in their car? yeah....he go put the air freshener in front of him, near the blue colour computer box... then the lower deck all got that sweet scent... haha.
Someone posted a photo of new A95 without SMRT logo...
LTA should increase the no. of bendy buses better facilitate MRT breakdown shuttles. Although DD was deployed before, but didn't see how it goes.
Another unpainted MAN A95 have just reached KJDEP for painting of livery. Btw, is there any chance that 851 will be getting Batch 2 MAN A95s? Since some
Since some 851 BCs have learnt to drive DDs.

No chance. The planners at SMRT have personal vendettas against 851, 167 and 980. They will try their best to prevent any HC buses to be added to them. Even the bendies on 851 risk frequent cuts.
Better wait for 2nd round of Amdep roof cutting and see how many DDs they will bring in..851 buses park inside Amdep unlike 854 and 857 which park at Yishun.Only a handful of split DDs already occupied the DD lots.I hope that the new A95s will come to Amdep 851 later.

Haha yes,In fact 851 sometimes running with 9-10 bendies including peak hours ever since 854 got 6 DDs.167 also spotted Amdep bendy cameo.

Really meh AMDEP will have another round of roofs to be removed?

The last time they plan and they did it,The same person also say that a portion of the roof to be chopped to allow a few more DD parking lots.Amdep cannot do anything much due to its size.What i can think if they can accomodate 15-20 DDs is good enough.(4 for 851,8 for 854 and 6 for 857 and 2 spares).

Ohh so now they planned to remove more roofs at AMDEP soon? That's good actually. Since around 60 MAN A95s, I think AMDEP can take around 10 to 20 (max) MAN A95s.

Where did you get the info 60 buses?If its true then i think a quarter of E500s will goes to Bulim and Loyang.
The 10 buses still not registered ...

That's already 13 units... more needed... register fast and upgrade services!

More than that except they are still waiting to be stickered and final inspection.

Any chances the latter batch go to Amdep?
Originally posted by carbikebus:Any chances the latter batch go to Amdep?
They should be going over to Bulim services. The E500s currently on Bulim services might go to AMDEP.
20 to 30 A95s may be going to Loyang for massive capacity upgrades.
I dont mind if Lydep and Budep gets some A95s.
The A95s in Bulim depot have been seen in the TT area, signalling that these are going to be operated by TT despite the SMRT livery.

If true, the livery is just as useful as that red GCM livery on that particular A95.
And the recent WL Citaros too.
Melbourne myki fares, coming soon to a reader near you.
Originally posted by carbikebus:Neh,I think this batch will surely for SMRT.Mark 2 bendy buses will be retired this year.
Some of them may be for SMRT. Assuming LTA ordered 70 A95s.
They might also displace some of the BSEP E500s on Bulim services.
These BSEP E500s can go to AMDEP.

Possible inspection.. What's more WLBP doesn't have any much space to squeeze in the new A95s and A22s..

Amdep will received a few A95s,Those E500s Kjdep/Wldep need them.I suspect LTA will inject some A95s to both TTS and GAS too.
