It would be a pity if SBST and SMRT totally go. Not in huge favor of international companies running the bus operations here. They need to understand the situation, loading pattern etc. not very easy.
Ah Kong wouldnt let his sons gone i guaranteed you..

Guys,The A22 and A95 actually use the ZF EcoLife 6 AP 1700 B transmission..not the 2000 B.

They use the ZF 6 AP2000B gearbox for A22s and A95s, see A22 thread for explanation.

I am sctually hoping Kumho wins Seletar. We need a mix of British and Asian players to show the incumbents some new tricks to lift their game.

My prediction after 2022 you can only see a European and an Asian co beside those incumbents...No need so much operators unless the package is increased to 13/14..
Originally posted by SBS3004X:The delivery would be quite fast because LTA took over SBST's orders. So they wouldn't need to rely only on BSEP orders.
The first 11 registered B4 Wrights for TT were probably from BSEP.
And, don't forget about de-registration of buses.
Don't forget this order is meant to replace the VO3X Batch 2 (almost all) and VO3X Batch 3 (9601-9604, 9607-9608, 9611-9612, 9626-9627, 9632, 9644-9647, 9650-9659) - about 25 Volvo Olympian 3-Axles.
The rest of VO3X Batch 3 will be replaced progressively, coupled with about a little bit of extension.

The bus assembly plant (HGBA) cant built 200-300 B9 in 6 months time..... the most will be around 20-25 buses max per month...so how can LTA find 200 plus new B9 for Bulim, if they are going use all new buses? even the citaros order is also not enough to cover...

That depends on what message LTA wants to send to the industry, or everyone for that matter.
Hope those 4 SG A95s will goes to Amdep to improve svc 851 fleets.Can transfer 6 svc 851 A22s to Wldep.

I also hope so, but it's not likely.
Even Leicester City has won the EPL now, and 851 still hasnt got any DD's.
I think Chee Soon Juan becoming Prime Minister is more likely than 851 getting DD's.
Odds 2,000,000,000 to 1 for 851 to get DD upgrade.

Hahaha,Thats because of the ruling system they practice where Wldep get all the good and powerful buses.I really hope that LTA will supply more Citaros to them.
SMB5888H has its EDS changed to Mobitec MobiLED..

Ha ha... yes people have been hoping for 851 to get DDs for last 2 years... So many also reported DD training on 851 route.
By the way same case - what happened to DD training on 811 route?

811 DD training have been done 2 times. First is using MAN A95 and the second one is Enviro. I at least hoping for 1 SG MAN A95 to AMDEP so 811 can have at least 2 DDs for a start, with SMB5898D.
SG5748G(SMRT Livery) on svc 106 yesterday.

A22s. The SMRT logos were removed, left the livery.
