even demonstrators will serve the public one day.
chinese saying goes "eventually ugly wife needs to see
in-laws".
so what's the point of going so secretive? defects???
i believe company strategy is probably why SMRT wish to keep
it under wraps.
FYI SMRT will be the first public operator to bring in
an MIC bus. In the recent years private operators have started
to bring in MIC buses, including Sentosa Leisure
Group (the PA plated 8031 MIC bus IIRC). According
to feedbacks from the commuters and drivers alike, these
China-made buses rivals the European-made buses in various areas
such as comfort. And the price seems to be the attractive factor in
purchasing MIC buses. yep.
For the Yutong SMRT bus, it is not defective nor does it have
defects. With the number of awards and certifications,
together with company confidence allows Yutong to establish a firm
customer base in several overseas markets like Cuba, Russia, Iran,
Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong and Macao.
