Sv 2 SBS 6116L (BN
109) 
Is this a debut? I think there was another Citaro on 2
before?
Anyway, took this bus on Service 2 today. BC drove 6116L like a
race car, swerving left and right (quite smoothly though in my
opinion) to make the stops. The bus was able to be floored without
the gears getting stuck all the way from Bugis to Tanah Merah, not
an easy task to floor a Citaro given that BC probably doesn't drive
a Citaro often on Service 2, and certain Citaros would get
stuck in gears at full boost since they are without a tachometer.
And it climed the hill at Kembangan towards Bedok effortlessly with
ease with the turbo boost. 
Or probably because 6116L that I have on 109 is one of the
better-maintained ones. 
As for the crush loading problem, it is actually viable for
Citaros to be put on Service 2 somehow from what I can see, just
that they have to be on specific timings during peak hours (i.e not
the super packed periods). The bus was packed today when I boarded
at around 1740 at Bugis, but not too packed till everyone was
packed like sardines all the way till Tanah Merah, but the DD
behind about 10 mins was super packed.
2nd time. the 1st happened last yr on a sat iirc.
