Great minds think alike. 
Altho some dun like the Citaro's back, i love its new front. Its
nicer than the older version. Scania's?? Why not the Scania
OmniLink? Ok larh serious, Scania K230 Euro 4 da best liao. Scania
models will be ZF-ed, whereas if SMRT chooses the Citaro, it shall
be a mix, like 33 units Voith, and 33 other units ZF-ed. New
Scanias seldom uses Voith gearboxes, as seen on their website.
Everything is ZF, model is ZF 5-speed. UD's or other buses can,
provided that it has electronically controlled air suspension
.
Citaros feature the kneeling function, also its fully built up,
offers wheelchair ramps, can be fitted with outward swinging rear
doors as option, fully low floor meaning no steps from entrance all
the way to the rear of the bus, unlike the B7RLEs, which has steps
after the rear exit. Also has deep windows like the Habits, which
allows alot of light in during the day.
SMRT wont be buying new bendy buses now, instead its buying 12m
standard buses. Perhaps if they were satisfied with the new WAB 12m
SDs, they will purchase new WAB bendy buses in the future.
