  ACx

   

  Why not SMRT try installing solar panels on the roof of some diesel buses for trail instead of buying electric buses?

  Its not. Bodywork is still by Gemilang.

  Gemilang uses Alcan aluminium from Switzerland (not Sweden) for their bus bodies. This is why the article states Switzerland because the material comes from there.

  You will never know. Maybe SMRT had decided to buy 500 BYD electric buses after that to replace the rest of the fleet...

  Both SMB189A and SMB191S had the ad, but from what I know, SMB189A was parking at the back, SMB191S is the official first guest bus...

  Hmm but hopefully i dont think SMRT would be so dumb to still continue buying those buses since that company has abruptly abandoned the project regarding those buses??

  They'll just hike the fare while saying that they have been trying their best to increase productivity already.
