  Unlikely to bring in the B9L unless they can modify the exhaust pipe downwards. LTA will never allow vehicular exhaust gases to release from the top.

  Else SBST would have brought the B9L long ago. Another choice will be the 7700 integral bus, but I doubt so.

  True enough the B9L wasn't too popular unlike B7RLEs.But RapidKL can try it.

  Vertical exhaust? That reminds me of Intrakota's Iveco Turbocities.

  I like the NL323 most but kinda think bout the condition later after seeing China SLs abuse it..Dunno why Singapore die die must take them beside cheap labour.Thai,Myanmar all are fast drivers but they too know to take care of engine.

  Could be rejected because of low passenger capacity?

  Definitely not because of low entry (otherwise won't have so many K230UBs)

  Citaro and MAN Lion's City look totally different, actually their interior in terms of seat layout is very similar.

  Should take some Filipino bus captains also for I think they are good at service. I think China SL are recruited mainly coz they speak mandarin, as many ah pek and ah ma don't understand english.

  Lion's City is the simplified term we gave to the production batch of MAN NL323F just to make it easier to identify.
