Depends on models IMO. Like if you compare LO3xs, I guess you could say AM/BR does a better job than SLBP. But if you're saying Citaros, no doubt AMDEP is b...

You did not get my point. Once they are back on domestic services with probably KUBs replacing them on 160/170, the WAB quotas will surely be affected without additional WAB mass purchases to replace the KUBs lost to cross border services

u mean by pulling out 80 KUB out of 1100 KUB will affect the WAB quota? 80 out of 1100 KUB is around 7.2%... if add in another 600 citaros, so if pull out 80 KUB out of 1700 KUB/Citaro, it is just 4.7% of the fleet for SBST... it wont affect the quota at all...

further, SBST will sure buy new buses first before replacing them....

btw, there are now more than 60 SP Kub/citaro available....more than enough to replace the fleet for sv170...

Need more Volvo SDs to join the sole B7RLE demo.

Right, but the buses must be low-floor (like Volvo B9Ls as what he had mentioned).

B9Ls rear ain't too high about the same height as the luohan MAN head..Or probably LE?Dun think LTA ban new LE buses

That's what I like about SBST,They dare to invest new buses even without scrapping the old buses

There are still about 400 Citaros waiting to be registered. Even there is 100 K230UBs pulled over to do 160/170, there will still be more than enough WAB buses in SBST fleet. Not to mention another 500 more B9TL Wrights.

Natural increase in fleet...believe that the B2 & B3 Olympians will still stay with the B3 Wrights entering service in 3 year's time.

Edit: Based on the press release, these buses should be one of the 450 buses that SBST purchased. This is due to the registration date which matches the beginning of delivery of these buses. http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/press/2012-07-09-01.aspx.

Why suddenly got 66xx? Then 64xx 65xx and the rest of 63xx?

azharjj SG

Why suddenly got 66xx? Then 64xx 65xx and the rest of 63xx?

i am thinking this one is batch 2 citaros

might as well continue the rego instead of skipping

63xx is for the rest of the BSEP batch I presume. That's why they're continuing to reg under the 63xx for the new BSEP Citaros.

64xx series I'm thinking they're skipping cause of the unlucky fengshui or something. Try pronouncing it in Chinese and you'll know what I mean. Just my guess.

Then the 65xx series is perhaps for the next wave of BSEP after they run out of 63xx series regos since they're nearing the end of 63xx range?

So yeah, 66xx might be for the latest Citaros they ordered or something~

Hope the 66xx citaros will be different~

SBS6301T SG

Hope the 66xx citaros will be different~

dont think there will be any different.

Anyway, the 66XX citaros are not for BSEP right? When will they start service?

azharjj SG

could part of the 66xx citaros are for tampines<->changi/loyang service? coz the govt say this service they are using buses by SBST from the 550 citaros batch

SBS6301T SG

could part of the 66xx citaros are for tampines<->changi/loyang service? coz the govt say this service they are using buses by SBST from the 550 citaros batch

I'll go check again tmr for the new regs at BNDEP then update you guys again. Last spotted was 5 shiny Citaros as of yesterday PM Peak at the usual place where they park the new Citaros usually.

SBS 9631X SG

Anyway, I'm editing the 66xx batch as under non-BSEP for now on Wiki. Mods on the main page of Wiki, please help to edit for now the rego range under the Citaro link.

Any changes to the 66xx batch, i.e. if they're under BSEP batch later on, then move to the relevant section. Thanks. Just trying to tidy up the wiki section for now.
