Originally posted by SBS BUSES LOVER:think you misread the press release. 50 buses with the green colour ... the rest of the buses that is used would probably be covered up with an LTA or BSEP ad or something just like the current TT training buses.
They cant possibly paint all overnight, so when they takeover, progressively will paint all green.
8 tranches is way too long and messy. its still 3.
They will probably use all of their current buses, plus the new A22s.
By the way there is a truck with a SMRT logo (where SMB5898D follow the truck) and two thin metals like a measurement which is the same height as the double deck. So look like they want to see if 811 route is DD accesible.

They can even put Gov.sg, MediShield Life etc. if they want.

If that's true, finally some sense prevails in SMRT operations. But I would prefer if they deployed the DDs on 804 and 903 instead. Both have pax that take the bus quite a few stops from MRT and would be willing to go upper deck.
Likewise 900, 901, 806 can have DDs in future.
Focus the bendies on:
911 - 4, 912 - 6, 913 - 6, 811 - 6, 812 - 3, 800 - 2, 300 - 4, 302 - 6, 858 - 3
there is one paintless A95 in WLBP, but the top part is in green colour...

there is cost of the printing of advertisement... not so cheap also, (the production cost is S$3400 per DD for those advertisements under SBST)... might as well print the green livery and paste on it... think will be cheaper..

I dont know how long the A95s wanna collect dust at Wlbp.

Since Yishun Avenue 7, Avenue 6, Avenue 9, Ring Road and Street 81 does not experience a double decker before.

Just now SMB5898D also make a test run on 811 route just now along Yishun St 81. Lets see if 811 will be getting DDs soon.
Any rough idea when the second batch of MAN A95s will be registered?

5 registered today, but no use mah.. all for TT, not for SMRT...
My bro working as TT BC (under training) said that TT last minute don't want to take MAN A95s, don't know whyy. Just an info.

The fact is that these 5 buses are already registered under TT today.. so?
TT dont want lai come to Go Ahead la...20 units also nevermind..
Originally posted by SMB315C:SG5754M is seen parking at WLBP with SMRT New Livery as of today..
SG5740C-SG5753R might still be for TT... 189 DDs for TT.

How is that even possible?
LTA is supposed to be the one in control, not getting pushed around.
Otherwise, how is GCM supposed to work?
To be honest it doesnt make sense to give A95 to TT. They could just operate E500s and Citaros. Why do they need to have one more bus model especially DDs that will only go for 106/189. In fact, SMRT really needs those DDs.

Who told you the E500s will go to TT if LTA already supply them A95s?I bet the E500 will stay with SMRT.TT already gets the B9TLs.If they get 3 models then other GCM also will be getting the E500s as well..All standardise one la.

I don't have a good feeling if they can't even sort out fleet allocation. Plans should have been known in advance and decisions should have been made beforehand.
SG5757 n 5758 are in WLBP with green livery.
Originally posted by SMB315C:It seems like the E500 buses will go over as usual along with the A95 buses..
Need so many DDs? Most likely the E500 will stay with SMRT while TT get A95 in return.
