SMB32T came out of AMDEP just now.front EDS was showing SMRT buses.dont know where it was going.a indian driver was driving it.then there was another driver standing beside him.when we waved to the indian driver,he smiled and waved back to us.haha.

Scania N113CRB l0v3r SG

Ya is we waved first then he waved back mi haha nice to know SMRT driver and SMB3C go to AMDEP around 3 plus? think is SS ba

Raraken SG

SMRT DD I think can get Mercedes or MAN........Mercedes can use modified 3-axle Citaro Chassis. MAN can use Lion City DD. Volvo to me will be a big jump for SMRT. Anyway having B9TLs operated by both SMRT and SBST will seem boring.....

nenepokey SG

hmm...how about the MAN 24.310 HOCL-NL DD chassis?

After all the OC500LEs are all introduced, i think SMRT will continue introducing 12m buses to replace the outgoing buses (O405s) and fleet expansion to temporary compensate for unable to acquire bendies. They still have the existing bendies -> Hispano MK I,II and Habits, maybe redeploy more to high demand routes, while the fleet expansions will be deployed to compensate the bendies and alleviate the full loads situation on some routes.

i remember tamago may have posted before about SMRT "considering to acquire 30-40 units of bendies". :D

n4l SG

Yes...I believe they will need huge fleet expansions to replace the bendies...:(

They're doing a trial on 851 recently I believe...lesser and lesser bendies on full day. Even the passengers are complaning...but there are more rigids bunching and arriving at a higher frequency, still packed to the brim :o.

SBS n SMRT SG

Fleet expansion will not do for SMRT, what they buy is OCs which is a bus, although sutiable for crash loads, not many seats in the bus, having 3 OCs bunching together would not do to replace a bendies, instead, it would increase the fuel and ERP costs and a excuse for SMRT to raise transport costs,

Can buy Double Deckers. LOL... Save labour costs for hiring additional workers.

Or perhaps they can buy SuperLong Bus, like those of SBS997A.

SBS n SMRT SG

997A hard to drive......some tiny roads cannot go....

Usually for buses longer than 11m are hard to drive. It's simple physics, buses longer than 11m are harder to turn, especially those sharp turns.
