Those are Volvo B9TLs.

TWS4793 SG

There are actually 200 new WABs or B9TL’s in Singapore. However, only 5 bus services are using B9TL’s.

SMRT 32373238 SG

ok thanks guys… will there be more to come or they sticking to 200?

TIB1049L SG

Services using B9TLs: 198, 196, 147, 12, 21 if i am not wrong

Eventually all buses would be WAB

SMRT 32373238 SG

yea but that'll take awhile... will they order any more new ones?

TIB1049L SG

Some B9TLs haven't arrived yet, however PTC had a rule now that all buses that are ordered should be WABs.

Currently SMRTB is ordering 66 rigids Very Happy

SMRT 32373238 SG

woa cool.. wat are rigids? are they bendies?

TIB1049L SG

They are not bendies. They r single decks (a.k.a SD's or Rigids)

SMRT 32373238 SG

hmm nice…. when’re they due to be in service?

TIB1049L SG

We don't know yet - We don't even know which model they are buying. Its in the planning stage

SMRT 32373238 SG

sounds great… thanks… will be looking forward to it…
