  AMDEP and BRBP currently have enough buses to cover for the Merc 0405s that are going off. Don't forget that AMDEP still have a number of unassigned Batch 2 EEVs plus some MK4s transferred over from BNDEP.

  For SLBP there are also a few EEVs plus MK4s too.

  Svc 16??Yeah most likely should be.Since svc 16 is conquered mostly by MK3s.But svc 16 is not the only svc which has alot of MK3s.There r other svcs too which might get the majority of the perm MK3s in it's fleet replaced by the Citaros as well.

  Actually i was thinking about the height restriction of 3.3m on stadium rd, and the citaros are 3.1meters.

  it is enough to cover the Merc that are going off.. but there wont be enough SP SD buses in AMDEP/BRBP after all the mercs are gone.

  Wah, SBS6XXX series, which means SBS6000 to SBS6300???

  I hope SBST will buy the Citaro 2 as well.

  Reminds me of the good old Mercedes Benz OF1413, LP1113, Albion Vikings EVK41L, EVK41UL, Ford R226, Nissan Diesel 4R94, RX102...

  I hope that they will deepen the road under the bridge to a height of 4.5 meters.

   Instead of deepening, I hope they will build a flyover instead, and keep the existing road as a servicing rd to the park.

  In this way, 16 won't be limit to Citaros (future?), Wright also can go in!!!

  yes. if you go again and you see the EDS showing service 3, then service 3 will be the 3rd service to have it. however, if it shows service 7, then service 7 will be the 3rd service to have it.

  Wah cool. Do you see SBS6000??? Last time SBS was very weird, they didn't start from SBS6000 but from SBS6001. Some of the series also strange, didn't start from SBSX000.
