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...

Good News ! The next Batch of MAN A95 is here already but is unregistered . Saw it inside ST Kinetic HQ @ Boon Lay . There are a total of 5 Units I saw today (20-11-2016) . There is actually nothing major about 2 of the units but the remaining 3 Units has something new not found on any A95 . And yes I wonder around STK for 3 Hours to confirm the buses inside it if u ask .

MAN A95 - 2 Units are lush green normal body work by Gemilang .

MAN A95 - 3 Units are in lush green BUT with seats with headrest ( same as SG5999Z ) and the body work is the same as the MAN DD L ( SG 5999 Z ) with the same BIG-ASS Light ) BUT is not 12.8M . It is still 12 metre Long . USB-charging port is also inside . NO weird 3 door concept .

To sum up 3 out of the 5 Units @ STK are based on the MAN A95 DD L 12.8m (SG 5999 Z) but is just 12 Metres long with Headrest seats . BTW the seats are the same as the one found in SG 5999 Z . The remaining 2 Units are normal A95 in lush green .

Did you happen to catch the door model?

Hopefully LTA give trial to SBST,GA and TT beside for SMRT usage only.

Hope SBST gets the ones with headrests too

Why should BCM operators operate horribly maintained buses when they did not cause the problem?

Not a problem... If you look at Tower Transit, they did overhaul many of the ex-SMRT Enviros they received, besides repainting some of them. They also cleaned up the interiors, as well as fitting new "BUS STOPPING' bells and even their own onboard announcements.

My apologies . I made a terrible mistake and I admit it . I said that there is 5 units of New batch of A95 at STK but Today I go and see ( double check again) I was wrong . There is only 2 New units with a Facelift bodywork ( I can't see what seat it has because STK park it very inside - so take it with a grant of salt on the seats with headrest ) The remaining 2 Units is SMRT A95 there for checkup while remaining 1 is SG5999Z . But I can say that the body work is really different from the previous A95 with a new headlight design like SG5999Z . MAN A95 Compared MAN A95 FACELIFT . < This are not so high resolution pictures of the bus . If u can't see the image from the link above please be kind enough to visit my instagram account --> https://www.instagram.com/shinrakuonji/?hl=en and check it out , 1st two post .

I apologise for my mistake .

Yesterday see for 3 hours confirm got headrest. Today say parked too inside can't confirm?

Formususeonly SG

Are you sure? Those A95 Batch 3 buses parking at STK don't even have any headrest seats for the passengers.

Read my previous post . I said take it with a grain of salt . But according to Mr . Carmikebus, there is headrest in purple colour . And some people even went to down to STK to look at the new buses .

That's why I tell people to take my information about the headrest with a grain of salt . Until the bus is either photograph the information is not valid . Yet .

You're right,TT mostly overhauled and troubleshoot all those A22 and E500 which were transferred in bad condition as well as those ex-SBST Citaro.

GA also spend a fortune overhaul gearboxes,Change radiator to all those B9TL and Citaro.I am very popular with the technical side,Twice every week can see me send many problematic buses for repair.Normally my report is weak 2nd gear,Bald tires,Creaky suspensions,Low air pressure and a lot more.
