Please don't. Don't waste such good buses under this kind of company. Rather let other operators who can maintain well buy them. For the sake of goodwill of...

Likely perm. Depends on whether 6085S is a fleet add or fleet replacement one-for-one for 807R.

If 807R was ex 518 , then it should be replacement as 2620Z is running around most frequently seen on sv32
So 2 citaros are the replacement buses, correct me if i am wrong...

Yeah, me think so too. 807R is indeed formerly from 518. And 2620Z started appearing on 32 only after 6117J appeared on 518, which is right after those few Mk3s from 32 went Laid-Up? Need some confirmation, because other than the first 2 days (iirc), 6117J has been only on 518 till now.

On another note, 6116L is perm 109. Kicked out 8333M (correct me if i'm wrong). No idea why they kicked out 8333M other than it being adless, but 8333M has been cameoing around (12, 28, 291 to list a few i can remember) after 6116L started to stick to 109 for the past 2 weeks.

is there any chance that the 40 Citaros that SMRT have ordered, came from the SBST batch? What i mean is that Daimler produce the Citaros for SBST too fast and most likely SBST ask them to slow down the production/shipment and Daimler might offer 40 Citaros to SMRT first? that why there does not have any press release at all on this 40 Citaros order.

Scania SG

VIN for SMRT ones are much later than SBS ones.

Citaro Spotting (4/11/11)

Svc 857 at Tekka Center

SMB 161D, 152E, 153C back to back all 3 buses came to bus stop at the same time at 1830hors or so .. 857 really...

Svc 75 at Opp SIM

Also 2 citaros back to back at about 1740 hours or so. Both are fully packed.

service_238 SG

Can anyone enlighten me if 6085S was a fleet add or fleet replacement into Service 518 back then? Cause someone said before 6085S was a fleet add, but edits on Sgwiki all along had the same fleet size of 10 buses.

6085 6117 replaced 2620 0807

Acx1688 SG

Unlikely... diff specs for diff bus coys even though same type of bus...
The press release for the citaros was announced together with the MAN bus, appeared in ST...

My favourite 109 KUB...

I Thought 6116L replacing 6058X on sv 109 which when missing many days also ?

CITARO LOV3R SG

SBS6081C now become AMDEP 24 le. Fleet supplement or replacement?

SBS 9631X SG

I Thought 6116L replacing 6058X on sv 109 which when missing many days also ?

I think that 6058X is most likely sleeping inside BNDEP or undergoing maintenance. I might be wrong, but for now 8333M seems more likely to be out. Hasn't seen 6058X cameoing around on other BN Citaro services (eg. 9, 28, 222), but 8333M started cameoing around after 6116L stick to 109. And 6058X's usual timing before it went MIA used to be 8333M's anyway.

SBS 9631X SG

6085 6117 replaced 2620 0807

So 2620Z is now SP or perm elsewhere?

Copied from ChongYou's post, not very sure.

at the rate the mk3s are laid up 2620 should have a perm service by now.. but never check the cameo lists though..
