  these A95 cost around $600 000 per bus..still 20% more expensive than B9TL and 35% more expensive than those SMRT A95....

  I think better give 8 to Wldep,5 to Kjdep and 4 to Amdep first,Theyre desperate for high capacity buses.TT is good enough with B9TLs and E500s

  TT got abundance of them to the point that SMRT bus can be used for SBST service

  If anything, SMRT on SBST svc is considered blue moon when compared to the other way round. Everyday also see B9 on 106... Havent seen E500 more than 3 times on 97, 143, dont even mention A95

  Sure or not all for TT?TT already got so many DDs why they need the A95s too?LTA should give back 20 DDs to SMRT when TT kapo the E500s..So good ah TT got so many model to drive?GA pathetic sia only Citaro and B9TLs..

  Doesn't really matter to who now. All these buses will be exchanging hands from one operator from time to time. It can be for SBST now, then SMRT, then TT, then GA, then another operator. 
  No operator to any bus manufactuers. Its all under LTA.

  Got a feeling some of them will park at Loyang once Amdep do overnight parking there.Right now i think also pointless for SMRT to use them since their depot and bus parks is already at max capacity.They also need to early retire those MK2 and Volgren bendies first.

  But when? Have been waiting for >6 months for SMRT to get its next batch of DDs... but just have been delaying.

  Do you know when the MK2 / MK3 bendies will retire? Before time?

  Meaning what?Have to give E500s to TT instead?Like that not impossible those A95s will be spread over if LTA buy more of them.

  I think the earliest to debut is around 4Q 2016.. They still need to settle the EDS and livery stuffs..
  
  Probably will waste a few months of its lifespan again similar to the SG citaros..
