I dunno, but I heard that BNDEP did not know how to maintain this bus properly, causing it to break down oftenly(like how SLBP maintain those demo buses due to inexperience)

Actually STK does all the maintenance for MAN, same for KUB's or any new buses in the initial warranty period.

as with any lone bus, maintenance takes a longer time due to more difficult availbility of spares. sometimes for trial buses, they might be tweaking certain stuffs or require it for testing so they're returned to the owner (STK for 8031J) when they need it. the same will go for 9889U now, if it requires service it'll take a longer time than other buses where spares are readily available.

it went back to service 6 the next day.

So what happened to the MAN bus again???

kuang SG

Speaking of the MAN bus, does here actually know that SMRT Automotive Services is actually the authorised workshop for MAN and King Long buses? It's stated in SMRT's annual report. It also states that SMRT is planning to set up their fourth workshop also, but not confirmed where or when.
