SMRT trials MAN double-decker bus

last SG · 2014-09-28T10:05:57+00:00

Now we knew why SMRT only orders 101 Alexander Dennis Enviro 500.I guaranteed this will be a sucessful trial and probably they will order at least 150 units...

I wonder when the next round of MAN A95s will be registered.

TIB1234T SG

I wonder when the next round of MAN A95s will be registered.

Soon, SMB5890A & SMB5891Y already here...

BusAnalayzer SG

Soon, SMB5890A & SMB5891Y already here...

That's good news. Would you have an idea regarding the # new units ordered?

TIB1234T SG

That's good news. Would you have an idea regarding the # new units ordered?

Nope, no news of how many they ordered...

SMB3095S SG

Yeah that is good news. I hope some of the MAN A95s will go AMDEP so it can make a debut on 851 since 851 doesn't have any DDs and also not benefitted from BSEP. Can also deploy on 854 for additional DDs and 855 too.

I personally feel AMDEP might take a few A95 next month..Svc 851 split shift BCs already learned DD last week.Only Amdep svc suchs as 851,854 & 857 will use DD beside 860

TIB429E SG

Should buy another 50 or more DDs..

svc like 67, 171, 176, 180, 184, 851, 854, 856, 857, 960, 963, 966 & 969 needs..

by then those BBT svces buses(Citaro/OCs) can fleed add to those high demand but not DD/bendy friendly route(s), and perhaps throw some A22s to BusPlus for chartered svces.

Yeah. I personally feel that too. I guess 851 will be getting more MAN A95s in the future, as well as some for 854 and 857. I am not sure whether 855 or 860 will get any DDs. Btw KJDEP and WPDEP have many DDs already, around 50 to 60+. Also since AMDEP never take in MAN A24s recently, I personally guess it will take MAN A95s soon. Now its WLDEP/WPDEP turn to take MAN A24s hahaha, as well as KJDEP.

SBS9C SG

Could it be possible that SMRT had converted the remaining of their 332 MAN single deck orders to double deckers? There are still a number of unregistered BSEP single MAN A22s around and recently there isn't any news of any MAN A22 on delivery.

BusAnalayzer SG

I sincerely hope so :)

SMB145B SG

Very much possible.

Many svcs went WAB without much high capacity buses. There are also svcs which need O405Gs to add capacity. These are 169, 804, 811, 851, 901, 911, 965 and 969.

saw another new man dd bus picture somewhere in the facebook today 5890?

Possibly SMB5890A since SMB5891Y was at paint workshop on that day...

230 A22 for SMRT have been deployed on the roads.balance 102 are for BSEP (of which 21 are on the road).. so guess if some A22 are being converted to A95 order, then it should be for BSEP instead?

seems like 851 wont get this month again... unless in a form of BSEP add. No non bsep enviro registered, A95 also seems to be going to KJ (with 5890A seen there).

Only seems like only 2 more A95 arrived (5890 and most probably 5891)

SMB3095S SG

851 in need of DDs. I am frequent user rider of 851 and I know hows the loading of passengers is going. I also getting sick of always standing on the bus when going home. Its been 1.5 year I have been waiting for 851 to have DDs. Cannot postpone or what.

TIB868X SG

there are still many SMRT A22s being assembled in Gemilang.

carbikebus SG

Hopefully by mid Oct,there is at least 10 units registered.
