In case you read too much into my post, 6116L on 2 yesterday was only a cameo. AFAIK, there's no perm Citaros for 2 yet or anytime soon. And my 6116L is still happily doing 109 ya.

There r 4 new Citaros parking at bndep today when i passed by there.Like u said,6155Z and 6172Z were among them i saw.6155Z 6166S 6170D 6172Z all in BNDEP. 3 of them (IIRC it was 6155Z 6166S 6170D) were parking at the Service 3's parking lots just now, the other was out as someone else posted for Familiarisation purposes.
One of the 3 parked in BNDEP at 1815hrs just now has no front rim guards (i.e the 6000L / 6001J / 6082A / 6083Y / 6084U / 6085S-look-alike), the other 2 have the rim guards.

Service 3 might get Citaros to fill the missing slots left vacant by the deregistered Mk3s. I'm just guessing, but seems like the Mk4s are some kind of stop-gap measures.
Otherwise, the current SP Citaros in BNDEP are very likely going to 33 (those Euro IV & V KUBs have been on 33 for ages but still not WAB status) and 32.
Service 32 needs 10 WABs (now have only 1 poor 5007A after 6039B from AR went to 48). Now missing 2 ARBP buses, 1 BNDEP bus. And with still 2 more BN Mk3s and 2 more AR Mk3s on 32, do the maths & you can see where this is going.
Service 33 needs 15 WABs to hit the quota, now they have 7 KUBs & 1 Citaro, all BNDEP side. 7 more to go, including the 4 missing BBDEP buses. And you can see where this is going to go too, probably BN 33 would have to cut 3 more Mk4s. 1953U is likely one of them, not sure which is the other 2.

more like sv3 getting the outcasts form 33 instead. and the rest maybe going to sv40 or 35. -

Remind me again why is there no ADD buses on sv 3? Is there some restrictions along it's routing?

I don't think there's any height restrictions along its route cause there's other DD services along the different sectors. I think might have something to do with the tight turns at the roads at Pasir Ris St 71/Meridian JC there and also Pasir Ris St 21? But then again, Pasir Ris St 71 there has Premium 538 which uses 7348C everyday without problems.

3 doesnt need DDs....

Yes. Now I like the Volvo B9Ls. Wonder what will its bodywork look like if SBS Transit were to purchase it.

Yes. I don't see any huge demand for 3 everyday.
By the way did 294 and 357 use DDs before?

He had given up on getting 163 to have Citaro perms, you don't try to get him to collaborate with you otherwise everyone will hate you.

Actually I think what he means is 3 needs 300 Citaros (which means the whole Citaro fleet) because 3 x 100 = 300.
