Specs of the bus.

http://www.sgbuses.com/wiki/index.php5?title=MAN_NL323F

Looks like the bus is going to have a Hanover EDS and the SMRT's favourite brand of A/C, Konvekta.

And the bodywork will be MCV Evolution, first yn SG too. And for those who dunno how the bodywork looks like, link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Thames_Travel_1257.JPG

Not exactly the same bus but will look like this.

Just realised, SMRT seems to be buying those units that have options that lead to a low-floor bendy, anyone realise this(apart from the chinese buses)? Citaro(which have Citaro G) first, now MAN NL323(which have NG323). Hmmmm.

Actually I dont mind if it goes to 858 but based on the recent demos by SMRT, all are not WAB svc.

It needs 1 year of service before it can become a WAB bus?

SMB66X SG

SMRT are now trying to go for the low-floor to be elderly friendly, WAB friendly and also Environmentally friendly.

no display name SG

wonder if the bus will go to 855?

Lee Teuk SG

dennis tridents were e 1st to use that.

maybe i should re-phrase.. the doors are like MRT kind which slide open, same as the video which XiaoTaro post sorry if my post is misleading. i shouldn't use the word 'swing'. i have edited my posts to avoid further confusion.

i believe it is the first public city to use outward sliding doors.

You should said First Singapore Bus to use outward sliding doors...

SMRT are now trying to go for the low-floor to be elderly friendly, WAB friendly and also Environmentally friendly.

its not necessarily that SMRT is trying to go towards low-floor buses, its legislation set down by LTA that PTOs need to purchase low-floor or low-entry buses. and this is a demonstrator that just happens to be low floor to the rear

The bus is longer than a standard 12 m bus just to tell you plainly. Around 12.5 - 13 metres. Info given by my godfather.

are you sure? has your godfather seen the bus or measured its length with a measuring tape?

SBS9818A SG

maybe we will see a MAN NG323 soon to replace the O405Gs?
