Good its heytime that those 4xx-5xx series O405s go.Same goes
for UDs.Imagine we're in 2011 still got those old buses..They can
extend the 6xx & 8xx series for svc like 882/981/177/178.UDs
should go by this year regardless of the refurbishment.Another
candidate the Hinos.Spare part is headache.Think Hino Australia
supply most of the parts.Lance UMW also need to go or at least
fully refurbish with bigger LED EDS.
IMHO here are some suggestion,SMRT should maintain
Scania Strider for at least another 2 years maximum
DAF for another year
Hino and Elbos should go or sell
UDs should go
O405s 4xx-5xx should go
UMW Lance should go for full refurbishment,UK and Volgrens
should at leat do 60% refurbishment
O405G MKIs should go or sell and the refurb ones should stay
till 2013 the maximum
MKIIs also same
Volgren and Habit bendies should stay till 2014..
New buses at least need another 250 for the time being and 50
should be WAB bendies.Their fleets should at least have 70% rigids
and 30% bendies.Convert Lor 1 into mini bus park with wall,at least
2 pump island and 1 auto bus wash with maintenance facilities as
well as small offices.Parking lots should at least have 80..Good
for svc like 106,970,171,960,75,61,980,961 and 985 as well
RWS8.
NO! O405G MK1 and MK2 must stay at least until 2015.
