chocolates-xed SG when will smrt be buying new buses? looks like for now wun have.. cause of the nissans but the nissans must expire soon what. anway how to find out the bus expiry date? i saw it b4 .. but cant locate the website
ZYX2005 SG no mention of new bus to buy yet. nissans long way to go. u see if the merc of SBS go, then nissans go the CAC ones bought in 1991 the OAC ones in 1993. assume 18 years regulation then 2009 and 2011. ZYX
201911 SG in a recent lianhe zaobao article it was mentioned that 66 new buses will be bought in 2008 and another 66 in 2011. to acess the thread abt this go here.
matrix5566 SG I dun tink nissan buses will xpire tat fast, they hav remove CSS bus services and taken over their buses for their plys, last time the nissans are kept near kallang mrt...
201911 SG tat one not quota, that is SBST own target. SMRT said hardly anything abt buying new WAB buses except that 'oh by the way' kind of mention in the zaobao article
vivienlee SG SMRT should had continue wif CSS 608 route operations until the Nissan bus reached their 17 yrs lifespan
^tamago^ SG they feel they can earn more money out of their nissans than putting them on 608, but shifting freed up O405's on chartered shuttles.
E.Reliability SG Seems like we have a bunch of experts on buses and transmissions??? so lets talk about the 864.3.. ever heard of the 864.5???
chocolates-xed SG SMRT should start buying double decker bendy buses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulated_bus#Double-decker_articulated_buses
n4l SG Not feasible in Singapore lah...to access the rear's top deck you must enter from the exit...you think they'll let~? That one is more for tour operators where they don't have to collect bus fares~
The_Bus_Guide SG Unfortunately, the Neoplan Jumbocruiser stopped production in 1992. No other manufacturers have made anything like it.
