off_service SG

AMDEP staff told me over the phone that Yutong MIA more than 1 month alr. Then there are loads of complains from SLs. According to an SL, he told me that SMB135E may go back to China. Wonder if the new one will take over SMB135E or it will have SMB137A

SMB 135 E has been laid up till 2011.

thks

Non user lay up status means the bus will not be placed on revenue service, till the day it is de-registered, But within the period of time (9-15) months if they have idea to refurbish the bus itself, Like (TIB) 840A, Then it will be taken out of the non-user lay up status.

But it is SMRT's choice, Not ours, too bad it has to go :(

WLDEP don't intend to take in new buses at the moment though.

sir_peanuts SG

it's better looking than the yutong. moments like this make me ponder if one day majority of buses will become MIC.

SBS BUSES LOVER SG

Alot of private companies these days are purchasing Higer , Kinglong , Foton & Sunlong buses ... if you notice . esp alot of Kinglong buses on the roads these days ...

so its not a surprise that sbs or smrt decide to buy them .. king long is not bad IMO . . and my observation is that it comes with tinted windows. have riden on a kinglong before. quiet engine ..

there are a few kinglong SDs roaming around for certain companies .. with EDS too ..

King Long would be SMB137A. Source(of it being a SMRT buses) is the link you had given in the previous post. For Zhongtong, it would be either SMB138Y(source is the picture) or after the Citaro. SMB135E is now in the mist of deciding to stay or to leave. If the bus leaves, touchwood, SMB135E will not be used for other buses.

from wat i see:

1) The exit door is not the plug/swing out type.
2) 2 PIW are..
3) Plastic handles.
4) Obviously, some new type of seats probably by King Long (or maybe Zhongtong).
5) Sooo many bells.
6) Bus stopping lights is a "STOP" instead of "BUS STOPPING".
7) Mildly tinted windows.
8) Doesn't have the 4 seats facing each other
*9) More legroom.
10) 30 seats.
11) Seats are blue and red in colour.
12) A clock

*Can't really confirm

sgbuses SG

Looking at the door handles and front seating arrangement of both photos, it's an easy conclusion that we're getting BOTH King Long Hybrid and Zhongtong...
