SMRT Trials Mercedes Benz Citaro (O530)

I don't think they can extend the date too early in advance. But they should be doing so because without extending the O405s would mean a sudden loss of bus...

Anyway, Ahjack77 and I were along Lentor Ave this afternoon when we saw the Citaro passing opposite us!

In the bus there were lots of BCs. Route familiarisation? EDS was 'SMRT BUSES', big big one.

Bus familiarisation would sound more appropriate

straitstime mention that this bus cost S$430 000......S$70 000 more than the OC....

khai_babaiyi SG

I've knew it. The bus is meant for SMRT. Never failed to look at C& C when I take a bus that pass by there. Teh design is Superb!!!!!! Can't wait can't wait can't wait.

SMRT Buses is the greatest bus company that always keeps up with the world. Kudos to SMRT.

Anyone knows where I can see a better view pic of the bus??

TIB1083L SG

how fast people's view of SMRT changes. just a few years back people were bitching about SMRT not maintaining their bus division and their buses and cleaniness and a mistake to merge TIBS with SMRT.

TIB1083L SG

im also mystified by the newspaper reports.

"Depending on passenger feedback after the trial, SMRT may import more Citaros to replace its older models or to expand its 130-strong fleet."

sad that they only consider SMB series buses as their fleet and the TIB series as the "older models"...

Poor frequency & delays were a common occurrence.. example dusty seats on Habit bendys, serice 190, 700,960 poor frequency etc,.

Still got one more... Hino (TIB905Y) was first placed on 854.

When TIBS was formed in July 1982 by the SSB firm (operations commenced on 3 Apr 1983), its aim was to serve the northern part of Singapore (i.e. Woodlands, Sembawang & upcoming town of Yishun)

iveco SG

Yishun/Khatib is a green environmental place? Have OCs, Yutong, Citaro and Scania

You mean SBST Scania KUBs?

iveco SG

Later Tibs responsibility expanded to include BPJ, SKG and PGL in 1995. Later on in 1999, SBS(T) won NEL tender and the great swap happened. Everything else is history.

iveco SG

Citaro G? I prefer the NG313 or K310UA.
