The BSEP Wrights will still be under SBST registration, just
that I suppose out of around 300+ Wrights, majority of them will be
registered as BSEP buses though I took it as if it is SBST own
Wrights since it doesn't matter if it is BSEP or non-BSEP...
Idk if I interpreted your post correctly, but I think fair
enough to say, that whichever BSEP buses are registered from now on
(or rather, all the BSEP buses so far), are under LTA control uh,
regardless of whether they are under SBST or SMRT livery.
So it's not exactly the same to say that BSEP Wrights &
non-BSEP Wrights are the same under SBST.
Because while the non-BSEP Wrights are registered under SBST (&
hence SBST kind of 'paid' & owns all the ownership of those
assets - the non-BSEP Wrights), the BSEP Wrights are under LTA
ownership (even though they are under SBST livery). Means that if
one day LTA wants to put those BSEP SBST Wrights over to SMRT, it's
a possibility.
So it doesn't make sense if SBST has new Wrights that are
supposedly bought with their own money, but then they register
under the new BSEP regoes (the 35xx series)..
Although I know the last part of my reply would counter-act with
what is ongoing now whereby LTA is pulling those Wrights in SBST
interior spec & registrating them as SGxxxx regoes.
