  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.

  Put on 36 instead and enjoy the shiok feeling of going upslope on Benjamin Sheares Bridge.

  Didn't see 6000. There are a few others Citaros inside there but I managed to catch a glimpse of 6005 and 6006

  123 might be the first to get them since SBS8057K and SBS8067G are transferred out to SLBP.

  Because the bodywork is the default bodywork, always assembled by EvoBus, Citaros in custom bodyworks are rare.

  Well. For me, I think the Citaros will go to routes like 5, 66, 506 where there are WABs but not enough make it a WAB route. So the Citaro will kick out the striders or DM3500 to replace the MK3 in some routes. Then, once there is enough Citaro to make it a WAB route, then the route will become WAB route.

  most bus drivers i talked to claimed that Scania bus is smoother than Mercedes Benz and Scania engine can last longer than other brands like Volvo and Mercedes Benz.

  It seems that this new Mercedes bus is having 6-speed auto tranny with engine max at 2,500 rpm? i'm driving Merc 315 van with 5-speed auto tranny

  Obviously it will be, and there is no choice but to have this kind of seating arrangement.

  SMRT's last Citaro is surrounded by SBST's citaros in Pandan Garden C&C.(Like literally. It was parked in the middle of the pack of SBST citaro and is still unregistered.)

  I think i just saw 1 citaro around Pioneer Rd North going toward SLBP. Only Saw the front but from far can see the Mercedes Logo and moving EDS that Display "SBS Transit".

  today while driving along braddell road towards bishan at around 10.08am, saw this sbs citaro coming out of BRBP. only saw a 'J' at the end of the rego so should be 6001 J. a few minutes later, i saw this other citaro moving in the opposite direction (i.e. towards toa payoh) on the braddell road flyover outside sph building.

  6000L and 6001J to AMDEP.

  And some facts

  Interior nearly the same thing as the KUBs, only that the seats are PVC red and yellow-green for PIW "cushion" and priority seats.

  They are the first buses in SBST to have Konvekta A/C. (Abit less interesting)
