6155Z or 6172Z spotted parking in BNDEP today. Should be 6155Z if my memory doesn't fail me, given 6153D and 6157T are also in BNDEP from that bunch.

I don't even know that 6155 is un-registered that time with 6154 or 6156.

If I am not wrong I saw it on the roads opposite Tropica Condo in Tampines at around 5PM today. The bus had the SBS Transit logo displayed on the EDS.

I believe the Citaros are rather fleet additions/expansions instead. They should have bought the Citaros in 2008 just before MK3s retired, yet they only purchased it in 2010 and entered service in 2011.

Then the Volvo B9Ls must be bought before the Mk4s (DM) retire.

Sv 2 SBS 6116L (BN 109)
Is this a debut? I think there was another Citaro on 2 before?
Anyway, took this bus on Service 2 today. BC drove 6116L like a race car, swerving left and right (quite smoothly though in my opinion) to make the stops. The bus was able to be floored without the gears getting stuck all the way from Bugis to Tanah Merah, not an easy task to floor a Citaro given that BC probably doesn't drive a Citaro often on Service 2, and certain Citaros would get stuck in gears at full boost since they are without a tachometer. And it climed the hill at Kembangan towards Bedok effortlessly with ease with the turbo boost.
Or probably because 6116L that I have on 109 is one of the better-maintained ones.As for the crush loading problem, it is actually viable for Citaros to be put on Service 2 somehow from what I can see, just that they have to be on specific timings during peak hours (i.e not the super packed periods). The bus was packed today when I boarded at around 1740 at Bugis, but not too packed till everyone was packed like sardines all the way till Tanah Merah, but the DD behind about 10 mins was super packed.
