  MAN definitely

  the powerful acceleration makes me hard to stand properly on the bus

  What is it is tt when I sit on the B9TL, the 1st gear must go to abt 17rpm to change to second gear. Saw few bcs driving and the rpm at 15 can't change. The B9TL seems less power than man. I seat on the man foldable seat and the bc was late and drove off with powerful acceleration and the bus had a big force tt I had to hold on to a pole for balance.

  B9 less powerful?   A B9 is 50% more heavier than a Man A22. So how do u compare ?

  B9TL Wright: 310hp (228 kW) @ 1900rpm / 1400Nm @ 1100 - 1500rpm
  A22: 235 kW (320 hp) @ 1900 rpm / 1600 Nm from 1000 rpm - 1400 rpm

  A22 got more hp, and it reaches max torque (which is higher than the B9) at a lower RPM, so the A22 is actually more powerful than the B9TL despite being a SD.

  A question: Why some B9TL Wright (SBS3240E - SBS3259C) has 9368 cc engine while all others including the newer registered Wrights has only 9364 cc engine? Any reason for the difference?

  13,39 feasible due to the distance between depots and interchange. 12/2 im not sure maybe if got space

  Actually all possible. It's just up to them whether they want to make it AMDEP/BNDEP.

  Think 2 and 12 more sensible cause of the distance between Bndep and New bridge Rd Ter

  13 should BNDEP/CGBP. CGBP so near to Upp. East Coast Ter.
  39 should AMDEP. when fully BNDEP, got one time first bus 0600hrs at Yishun Int didn't arrive on time right. 
  
  2 & 12.... no comments.

  Actually CGBP go Yishun should take at least 30-50 mins via TPE/SLE means SL take first bus at around 5am LOL

  39 should be majority 60%Amdep and rest Cgbp,13 should be majority 60% Bndep and rest Amdep.2 & 12 should be minority Amdep cause no need all the way from Bndep to Eu tong sen st for 1st-3rd buses there and from Changi Village and Pasir Ris not that too far to Amdep.88 Bndep can take a few duties to relieve Brbp parking woes.59 can go majority Bndep to relieve Amdep.Well this just suggestion and don't take this too serious k

  What type of buses are reflected as WAB on SMRTConnect? I only see the OC500LE reflected and also BSEP MAN. Currently on SMRTConnect I saw a 858 bus reflected as WAB at bus stop no. 59051, but SMB3001M is split shift, so what bus could it be? BSEP MAN? SMB20C? SMB129Z?

  It dosen't have any perm stix when I boarded it 1 - 2 weeks back. But it does have top part of 159 coke guides being cut out and pasted above the BC window. Around 3 of it are there. So there's no doubt about 6606P perming 159.
