  Only TIB1008E is left there. For AMDEP, TIB943L and TIB937E are there but the rest of those laid-up are gone.

  TIB911D and TIB919H are parking along the corner where TIB937E is parked. Can anyone confirm whether the ez-link card readers in these two buses are removed?

  I'm not sure why didn't anyone realise this before and posted, but didn't anyone know that there's missing PA Lances from the Sgwiki list all along?

  Which PA Lances are missing? Some PA Lances are the 211 variant and are listed on the 211 page, but the sgwiki list is really inaccurate.

  I did some research and found out that:

  211 Lance chassis code: 11SDA3115K

  245 Lance chassis code: L7221AR3

  Check LTA records if you don't believe me.

  So here is the correct breakdown of PA Lances:

  UMW-Dennis Lance with 211hp engine:
  PA639M PA648L PA649J PA669B PA715B PA716Z

  UMW-Dennis Lance with 245hp engine:
  PA644Y PA4076K

  Dennis (DSV) Lance with 245hp engine:
  PA2020J PA2022D PA2054L PA2058B PA2063K

  On Sgwiki it is really inaccurate, for example PA4076K is a UMW Lance, but it is listed as a DSV Lance even though it even has the "UMW" badge on the bus and PA2058B is listed on both pages wtf.

  Here is the correct list + spec. Hope Sgwiki can be updated too:

  Anyways thanks to the person who updated it. But I made a slight mistake, the standing capacity is 40, not 46.

  Also the PA2058B picture should be moved to the Lance 245 one.

  Uh yeah, I was referring to the 211 and 245 variants. I mean, it's kinda confusing why the PA Lances with C245 engine are listed into the main Dennis Lance page along with the rest of the SMRT revenue Lances, while those PA Lances with the C211 engine are relegated to the bottom of the SMRT Wiki page right before the Bus Plus buses?
  
  I mean, if you're (referring to the person who edited the tables and etc on the page) trying to classify it according to PA Lance vs SMRT Lance, then might as the entire list of PA Lances go into one page and the SMRT Lance to the other? Instead of mixing it around/ 
  
  In the past it used to be that there was only one Dennis Lance wiki page accomodating both SMRT & PA Lances, then sub-sections into the 211 & 245 variants. But idk whoever switched from this layout into the current one now? 
  
  I was just stating it though, cause I just came across the Lance page and it's hugely confusing compared to the past layout.

  Didn't expect the DSV Lances to retire eariler than the UMW ones, since they seem to be in a better condition.
