I think he means WLDEP needs all the flashy, brand-name buses
like Mercedes and not some Cheapo China Transport Vehicle.
Imo, WLDEP NEEDS the Yutong. I don't like the fact that WLDEP is
overstretched; the route rearrangements last year was in favour of
AMDEP/KJDEP, coupled with the fact that WLDEP received none of the
OCs, makes me, well, you know. Pissed. Considering I live in a
WLDEP majority area.
In my opinion, whatever the decision is for SMRT, the bus go
which depot doesn't really matter. As long as it can be found in
singapore we still got a whole deal of 17 years to catch the bus.
And you got to understand the fact that WLDEP has no more space for
any new buses to come in so that why before the few months time
there are no OC500LE at WLDEP.
For your infomation the Yutong may be cheap and cheena brand but
don't forget that as long as it can fetch people & it's still a
bus so why bother so much about its productivity??
