Looking at how 88 got the last batch of B9TLs, and another late batch of K230UBs after that, and that's after it got the new-new DM3500s and VO3X back in 1999 and 2000 after SBST realised its such a popular service.
Don't ask me why 74 is doing the opposite, holding on to the oldest possible fleet.
Service 88 when newly introduced in Feb 1999 did not have a fanciful fleet. Started off as a PAC fleet with only a mixture of NAC Scania N113CRBs as well as 0405s and MK3s. There were no DDs and MK4s then. As Sengkang and Punggol were still under Tibs, 88 was then the only SBS service to pass thru Punggol Road corridors.
Think it was only after when SBS announced the plans to take over Sengkang and Punggol services from Tibs, SBS wanted to show off good by deploying new and fanciful fleets along these areas. From then, 88 started getting all the brand new MK4 DM3500s and eventually the older buses got booted out, eventually 88 became a FAC fleet. And after Sengkang services were taken over by SBS in Jul 1999, 88 started getting new VO3x DDs together with newly taken over services 864 and 865.

Look man, I dont need such a long reminder since I've been taking 88 since day 1 till now. A good 13 years already.
And no. Getting those new buses hasn't had as much to do as the friggin amounts of crowd 88 had since that day 1. There was no way a 20 min frequency (!) and only SDs could in any way handle that then. NAC buses on 88 did not stay very long. Just a couple of months.
So can you explain why 88 still remains a recipient for new buses many times?
And then tell me how 74 BCs must have offended the higher-ups?
Anyway, since you wanted to provide so much information, I find it amazing that you did not include MK4 DMs as part of 88's initial fleet.

Yep. It belongs to BNDEP. On SgWiki :

The only citaro ( PERM NOT CAMO ) on 109 from HGDEP is this on SgWiki :

Only 1 citaro. lols.

It it is true, it will be the only svc I know to have complete WEG and Citaros only.To me, I prefer 43 to stick onto the K230UBs rather than the Citaros. I had a comfortable ride many times with the bus on 43 when I need to get from Paya Lebar MRT to CDAC Headquarters Building in late 2010, mid 2011 and late 2011.

-SBS2656XErr mister, there are 3 perm Citaros for HG 109 and they are all reflected on the SAME wiki page. 6065A, 6067U & 6076T. If you had scrolled down alittle more, you wouldn't have been that blind to miss them.

I had a bad impression of the Citaro as on the day I took my first Citaro SBS6001J on 7 June 2011, the air-conditioning is not very good. Even if the newer ones had good air-conditioning, I agree what AEW5001 said.

I can say some are just crap, but most of them have much better A/C than the Citaro.....

You can go ahead and say that those words make no sense. To me, your nonsense make no sense at all.
