look at the math here. About 700 merz 0405 will go off starting
1 july 07 and will go on for 2 years up till 1 Apr 2009. sbst just
bought 200 B9TLs to take over the Mk2s. Given the new services
around it needs more than the current fleet it has. Assuming sbst
will not buy any buses this year, they will definitely extend the
0405s. However, assuming that sbst buys new buses this year, how
many are they going to buy? 100? 200? 700? Do some math and u would
know chances of the merz being extended is erm... 65%?
haha
