Aiya,Later batch just fit the ZF 6 speed gearbox la,I joyriding the ZF B9TLs and it perform better than the Voith batch.

LTA should opt the Volvo D9B 360hp/1600nm for the B9TL.I understand its certified Euro V and also EEV beside the common Euro IV

Public buses on Singapore roads are limited to 60km/h. If the speed limit is 100km/h to 120km/h, then that's another story altogether.

Are you willing to pay $3.90 minimum bus fare anyway? Australian bus operators have been acquiring a lot of high-spec buses lately, but fares are headed in one direction: up.

I wonder what is for the registration of around 70 Wrights when they have yet to be put on service...

Then what about those 360hp/1800nm A24s and A95s?They also got option for 320hp version and 280hp for A22s,I find a bit of contradicting here..Well anyway its everyone opinion.

based on registration date, the 15 wrights which LTA have purchased from SBST, should be as follow

What on earth are the SG53XX buses for? They are not for Loyang package from the way they are deployed.

Why is SG5185E perm 103 if it is for Loyang? SG5184H in SLBP?

I think they did a u-turn on how they are intending to use the SG-plated buses.

From what I know, the 23 non-BSEP B4s are for Loyang, with the other 27 made up of by later-39xx B3 WEGs and B4 BSEP WEGs.

In my opinion, it is evident from the deployments that 5176-5185 are for BSEP and 5300/5500-series meant for SBST own usage for now...

3968 3970 3973 3975 3976 3977 3978 3979 3980 3981 3982 3983 3984 3985 3986

Which most of them are already in Pasir Ris.. except 3970G (from SL 154) and 3981A 3983U (from 89e/89)..

Sv 12 - 3968P 3973Z 3982Y 3984S 3985P 3986L
Sv 17 - 3975T 3976R 3977M 3978K 3980C
Sv 518 - 3979H

Your list is incredibly accurate I think.
Interestingly, it includes 3979H (BN 518)? Granted it's alr on 518 (a Go-Ahead svc by itself)..

Now this list finally made me understand why they skipped 3972B and 3974X and never transfer those 2 to BNDEP..3972B & 3974X registered later than the rest by then? (I forgot alr)

3972/3974 registered in late may i think....

5176-5184 might be going to bulim...while 5185 to 5299 for loyang? loyang does not need that much DDs though..(current fleet need only 101 DDs excluding Spare).

53xx series should be replacement buses for SBST to cover some of the BSEP slots.. remember right now SBST buses are covering those BSEP slots....dun think LTA will be buying over these buses... so guess LTA will lease it from SBST...

total wrights under LTA should be 3300-3448 = 149 + 415 units under batch 4. = 564 units? so rego will be up 5564?

Your numbers for DDs required by Loyang are based on current fleets of the affected svcs? I do think that certain svcs under Go-Ahead will need some SD-to-DD conversions once the full KUBs-to-Citaros conversions take place for certain svcs (eg Sv 12 and 518)..

lemon1974 SG

based on current fleet is 101 DDs and 216 SDs.... dun think they will do much to 518.. but most likely full fleet dd for 2/12..

Besides SBS3970G, there are still a few other 2-digit rego B4 Wrights in SLBP still not transferred. There are also some in AMDEP/BRBP.

As for SBS3981A/SBS3983U, they can be swapped in HGDEP... no need to transfer depot.
