  From a SMRT tender about "Total Tyre Management Programme For Buses", 30 new MAN A24s it seems. But subject to changes.

  Passed through ST Kinetics while on svc 178. There are 3 A22s as well as the A24 parked together. SMB3030D and SMB3031B are spotted. The A24 have 1 extra CCTV camera at the side. A good way to look at the rear of the bendy is to take svc 178 and look inside STK.

  A heavily cropped pic (if anyone thinks that I should remove it I will):

  Remove? Better save it on my desktop first. 

  Edit: Pic removed ...

  i think you should just remove before a certain user comes along and spout bullshit in security.

  anyway some observations: rear window is bigger, and some weird stickers are pasted in the interior of the bus.

  Got a feeling they just buy 30 first then will start deregistered a few bendies that are problematic before they decide to buy another bulk.

  I'm not surprised if they chose between MAN NLs or even Vanhool
