Citaro is a nice bus 100 time better then KUB, I wonder why
SBS never buy 1000 of them instead of KUB? KUB bus is the
most lousy bus SBS ever had. that is after taking it on
service 28 and compare to a KUB bus on 28. I think this bus should
be in service that serve long distance like 28 or use for trunk
service. and use KUB as feeder bus as it is very rocky. there no
need for so many DD bus but need many of this type of bus. so
comfort you never feed like getting out of the bus. use it in
138 is a good try as many tourist can take the bus
to the zoo.
SBST never buy previously because the cost is too
high.....considering the original cost of buses + exchanges
is way much higher than KUBs... i believe mercedes have given SBST
a good price for these 300 Citaros, and with the strengthen of
S$... it does help bring down the cost of Citaros.....
just for example, in 2008, 1 Euro = S$2.11 , last year when the
order was make, it was around 1 Euro = S$1.70.... if a bus
cost 200 000 Euro, the different is around S$82000....
