lol scare me thought it was B9 wright came to SG already at one glance ~

one word: WOW
btw there are more E400 DENNIS for CTB..
-
I think these wright B9TLs are better than the E400s... Good job for CTB, hope KMB or even SBST can purchase these 2-axles B9TLs in wright body... maybe thay can try with E400 bodies too

still single digit strength
-
Gonna be the same style as the Wright B9TLs that SBST purchased?

I don't think sbs will buy 2 axles DD bus as the cost of opersting the bus is not the best compare to 3 axles also the number of passengers compare to 3 axles is not the worth to get 2 axles DD bus. just take a look on our 93 and 74 2 axles non air-con volvo bus. the cost value is also most the same as air-con 3 axles DD volvo bus operate here.
-
If 2-axle ADD consume less fuel than 3-axle ADD, then I think its worth buying some.. It also saves additional tyre replacement costs throughout the bus lifespan as it have 2 tyres lesser.

There's always roads tat 3x ADDs has difficulty in plying yet the loading is near to full cap for SD. -
VO2x going to retire and comes E400 & 2x B9TL's launches
-

Both KMB & CTB do have Enviro 400 -
If 2 axies ADD save fuel maybe SMRT should get one and try out. I don't think sbs will get one to try. 2 axies can carry only 89 to 90 passengers compare to 3 axies 110 to 120. the new yellow 2 axies internal look very nice like a coach.

A total of least 1300 of them on e road.

Leyland's gone - only Olympian went over to Volvo.Mercedes dun produce double decks anymore.
Only manufacturer that still not in e show is MAN.
Scania does not have 2x ADD as yet. I believe ADL & Volvo now created 2x ADD is because of mostly Hong Kong's need (though actually we do need them).
As for Scania, they rule everywhere le.

2x ADD la. -
Dunno did I ever mentioned tis before.
2x ADD are sometimes better than ASD esp on student rts. Though capacity is almost e same, bear in mind abt e bags they carry.

Tis one very true.Look at our neighbouring country also and the other countries as well.Haha. -
A report published some time ago mentioned that Mercedes-Benz is seriously looking into a double-deck version of its Citaro, principally targetted for the Oriental market.
