  SMB127D and SMB67T have the black stickers that are found on the side of JB regged O405's 950 buses.

  Spotted SMB126G got it too. Not only OCs start to get the stickers . Volgren O405 too. Spotted TIB960L with the stickers also.

  SMB19 and SMB71 both with the black sticker as well. high chance that these buses are going to be deploy on Sv950. This should be the reason why they transfer the OCs over.. and most likely Sv858 will get Citaros instead...

  Next time 950 deployment COULD be( base on the buses with the JB Sticker)..... : TIB959S , TIB960L , TIB961J , TIB967T , TIB968R , TIB971E

  SMB19H , SMB67T , SMB70H , SMB71E , SMB99B , SMB126G , SMB127D

  and some other buses.. OCs and volgren O405.

  i think smb98/smb99 will get the stickers as well. take 5 OCs out from sv858, replace with Citaros.. take all the OCs out from Sv961... might not be enough still..

  It is really a waste considering the OCs are still pretty new though.

  So do keep a lookout for next year's March to May 95' batch, especially the JB O4s.

  Volgren mercz seems to be also earmarked to be on 950 it seems.

• TIB783G

  Do keep a lookout for the sole Volgren, TIB958U and the remaining 3 in KJ, 1 in AM.

  Ya. JB OACs seem to be cameoing ard quite often though. TIB448A was on 187 a few days back.

  Exactly. I will rather have SMB126G and SMB127D back to KJDEP, on KJDEP 190.

  I dun think Volgren Merc will be perm on 950,Theres only 13 units if i'm not wrong.Its time cross border service get WAB buses.OCs are the right candidate.At least those frigging SMRT maintain the 950 engine well.I hate to see new buses like the OCs,Citaros,K230UBs,Wrights not being well-maintain.

  Yes, but likely to. Or else which other reasons can you explain that so many buses get the JB Sticker?

  Yes, but I believe Singapore need WAB more than Malaysia need it though. They should complete upgrading Singapore's fleet before upgrading Singapore-Malaysia Service.

  Get JB stix doesn't really need to be JB registered. They can register later or in the future?

  Guys..if you never think of this, this might enlighten you 

  SMRT OC500LE, especially the Batch 2, have CCTV. But JB-Registered buses shouldn't have CCTVs, so SMRT OC500LE(Batch2) shouldn't be going to 950 unless it allows in the near future. The reason of sticking it up to the buses are still unknown.
