  SMB260B to SMB269C- 10 buses
  SMB283K to SMB287A- 5 buses
  SMB297X,SMB295B,SMB299R- 3 buses

  Total 18 buses with them. Its more than the 950 perm fleet though.

  It seems all of the current 950 buses will be replaced ...

  edit: or fleet expansion?

  Suspect all will be replaced though by the number of MAN with JB reg. 

  950 has 13 buses. 960L,961J,962G,966X,967T,968R,959S have them too but are not perm 950 but they are JB-reg. So in total around 20 buses.

  Similar to 447C to 466Y last time too. 20 JB-reg buses

  SO if SMB294D, SMB296Z and SMB298T got JB also, means 21 buses...

  Prepare to see 961 fleet changes, either OCs or Volgrens or both might be replacing the 961 2xx series MANs unless SMB355L onwards are registered...

  Maybe they will dump all to KJ / AM, like what they did with the O405s. LOL

  I feel that those MANs replace the 10 O405 Volgrens and a few OCs only.Im confident at least 5 OCs will stay

  random thought. if 950 use superlion g with four doors boarding and alighting at checkpoint faster than sbst. fast comfortable efficient with new bendy bus, sbst will forced use new buses too to compete with smrt.

  faster boarding? u will see the whole lane jam up.... blocking all the buses behind. why on earth SBST will want to compete with SMRT?

  Obviously SMB66X dun know and go around labelling people as lazy…

  There’s a thing called CHECKPOINT reader mode… you take 856 > 170, you risk the 45 mins x-fer time…

  CHECKPOINT takes as though you didn’t alight the bus…

  I've seen people waiting for 950 at Marsiling bus stop very long, when there's 2-3 856 buses that alr went pass them. Do you think it's worth it to wait so long to board just for that checkpoint mode?

  Plus, I don't even think that many people really bother or know about those~ Does it even saves a few cents on the bus fare comparing between the Checkpoint mode and normal transfer? Even if it does, what's the point? 

  Have I even "labelled" them wrongly? See for yourself first~ the first bus stop of return trip to woodlands int already have people alighting, most of the time are people with light stuff, so is this lazy then?

  I believe it's more of OCs getting kick out than the Volgrens leh? Still spotted those Volgrens with JB Stix~ :o
