  Change to this more better: Please slowly deregister the remaining MK3 so that the creepy new Citaros will come in slower!

  FYI: MK3s aren't creepy, they are in fact, one of the best buses in SBS fleet.

  Oh that's subjective.

  What is undeniable is its apparent indestructibility.

  Citaros are creepy as well. Their air-con were the worst among the buses in SBST fleet.

  MK2s are NAC (100+ become CAC after 12 years of introduction). Compare an NAC buses with Citaro, I feel a NAC bus is better.

  When me and my mother took SBS6095M on 101, I asked her which bus she liked the most. Unexpectedly, she mentioned those Mk2s and Mk3s. I asked her why, she gave me these excellent points.
  1. More place to sit compared to Citaros.
  2. The seat cushion is more comfortable.
  3. The air-con is much better.
  4. The speed is faster.
  5. You can enjoy the clear view of the window directly next to you, while a citaro is you sit at the rear, you will need to bend your body down.
  6. You can enjoy the nice-smelling foods if the NAC bus you are on is driving over some open-air restuarants.
  7. You can smell the FRESH air, especially if you are on a NAC bus on svc 84's route [ the 84 route NOW, not when it is serving Sengkang East. ]
  8. Can chat with motorists.
  9. The seats are arranged almost parallel to the ground, while a citaro had it seats sometime unparallel to the ground, making you feel giddy.
  10. The buses contributed much to a more lively SBST during the early 2000s.
  See?
