Which service? 963R?
BTW, check out part III of bus jokes. There is a reference to the Citaro there.
Anyway, I heard my friend wants to name her unborn daughter Mercedes. That kid will be called the Citaro child by me.

Lol... Boy for Citaro, girl for Citaro G better. -
I bet Citaro is a WLDEP bus. Been staying in it for sometime. [WARNING : This is just my guess, DO NOT change it on sgwiki]

I hope so too, but new buses will be registered in WLDEP. -

Makes Me Wonder.
most likely they only get one bus for demo... where got space to keep the new buses? SMRT already lose faith in the bus operation...

Your bet? how accurate -
Maybe the two Citaros would likely to replace CSS205R & CSS207K which deregistered tomorrow and Saturday?Follow on by March and April deregistered buses?

Saw a SMRT Citaro along AMK Ave 6 today afternoon at abt 5pm. The sides and the back kind of looks like the Yutong from far ;) Wondering where it came from/where it was going to go ...

Could be send to AMDEP again :o
Don't tell me that I saw the Citaro going in to AMDEP. I spotted a rear which looks like Yutong and consider that as a Yutong and did not really care untill I read from him that the rear is like the Yutong from far.

Sad to see it going to AMDEP again. If like that, it could be 171, 851 or 854 liao.OT: Today afternoon I passedby WLDEP, but kenna blocked by a Scania Strider, so could not see the Citaro in WLDEP. If not, it would be the last sight in WLDEP from today onwards having to wait for new batch to come.

Don't be sad...what if he spotted it wasn't the Citaro?

A possibility there, since they first tried the UDs on AMDEP
not sure about the OCs though

No actual rego for the time being, now using the tem. rego. I am keeping a look out if SMB136C/SMB137A is being registered.
P.S. : Go to : https://vrl.lta.gov.sg/lta/vrl/action/pubfunc?ID=EnquireTransferFee to check if the rego(SMB136C) is registered.

They could swap buses with other depots couldn't they?

Wait for the UDs to go first may relieve a bit of space

Hey, 2 UD out of AMDEP isn't really mean that citaro would go to AMDEP. What happen if some rigid from other depot was transfer over?

There is always a possibility. WLDEP is packed to the brim even for it's 2 storey Depot. In that case, WLDEP might not likely receive new buses except programming them.
