  RU3178U is not a registered vehicle. Maybe this vehicles are used but not registered, cause they are not permitted to be on the roads.

  Old or new buses, I don't know. You have to ask experts like 'carbikebus'.

  
  But in case u don't know at SENTOSA the buses which operating the Bus 1/2/3 some are Volvo with RU and that time I went to take a look whether got road tax a not. But then the road tax sticker is there but the amount is $0.00. NOTE: the trams are registered WC..... not RU..... (observed bef) but didn't see road tax for tram.

  LTA won't reveal restricted-registered vehicle's details to the public.

  i can confirm with u that i didnt see the rego wrongly

  it is indeed that rego. spotted beside the bus that I rode on ( svc 185) along PIE

  I know. I believe you, because I saw RU3178U recently. 

  Maybe it's just newly imported to Singapore and it's being towed to some special place and will await registration there?

  Btw, what's the make of the vehicle?

  Indeed. I heard insider info that higher management decreed that all were to be fitted with various makes of transmission to ensure that the buses would be "almost all Volvo".

  SBS6383G on tow, spotted at AMK Ave 6/Marymount Rd, from NBR direction at 1442hrs.

  No physical damages were spotted, guess it was breakdown. Too bad the rear was screeching on the road when it was being towed.

  Citaro sibei safe hor?

  Breakdown is normal. New engines sometime do have malfunction. But accidents are unavoidable also, no matter citaro is 100% accident free, even if the driver braked in time but is the front fault, the bus still kena. 

  But the rear was screeching on the road?!?! Must have been the tow truck raised the bus too high at the front, for sure is a private tow truck. Guess the butt is really gona get scratched real bad.

  Dafuq you talking? Bus already entered rev svc 2 months ago. Pls don't come and embarras yourself. And breakdowns can occur anytime. Anything can happen within 2 months. Alot of people can die, a few buses can burn down, or maybe even end of the world.
