  To SMB228X...
  
  PLEASE wait until SMRT has OFFICIALLY RELEASED the news ok?
  Sometimes the facebook anyhow answer to make you happy one...
  Plus, the Citaro bendy too long liao...
  1 bus stop can accompany 2 DD,
  1 bus stop can accompany 1 bendy...
  Plus 19m somemore...
  Same as SBS998Y [ Volvo B10MA ARTICULATED ] ...
  Later more accidents in SG due to bendies...
  Or bendies knocking down people and things...
  Sir, SG so small you still want SMRT buy so many bendies...
  You go and reclaim land for them to build a extremely big depot luh...
  Plus the road so narrow...
  How do you expect them to drive that snake?
  Even If SMRT really wants those buses,
  CAN YOU JUST WAIT FOR THEM TO MAKE AN OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE?
  YOU LIKE THIS MAKE THE SMRT FAN GO CRAZY FOR THOSE BUSES!
  SO PLEASE BE PATIENT OK?!?!?!

  I dun think that info applicable for Citaro in Singapore. Here's what I've got online,

  Passenger Capacity:

  • Seating : 38
    
  • Standing : 44
    
  • Wheelchair : 1
    
  • Total : 82

  Cheers.

  He/she a clone, he'll/she'll create another disruptive account if he/she gets banned. Besides, nobody knows is real identity (even if carbikebus found it, it might be a guise to hide his/her real identity), hence he/she can claim such things without liabilities attached.

  Probably that so called MAN bendy chassis is meant for other S.E.A countries which transit here who knows?

  Since the source purports itself to be accurate and I also have no way of verifying its authenticity, it's not right that I offend people and infer that the sources are inaccurate without proper verification.
