New IVECO bus for SMRT~
-
(buses[IN]gapore!) is back! Ok some did take the April fools trolling seriously and they went to unlike the page =/ Oh well. But we're back, and will be posting bus stuffs!
Back on real bus stuff, here's a brand new SMRT Iveco low floor demonstrator bus spotted by Zakaria today around Senoko area, probably undergoing test runs or awaiting delivery to a holding area.
(Due to the poorer camera quality it may look like it's been photoshopped - was an emergency shot as staffs were nearby)
Photo reposted from Muhd Zakaria's FB.
Info from BIS number one page for exclusive pictures~

I knew that this thread would come out. -_-"
It is edited/photoshopped. Firstly, one of the ciruclar yellow marker lights on the left is gone, while it is still seen on the right. Secondly the radiator is gone. Thirdly the bus behind has a typical Volgren/Custom Coaches front. Fourth, the hopper windows has been edited so that it doesn't look so obvious. Fifth, at the place where the SMRT logo is, compare it to a standard Iveco Metro LE bus and you will see a square hole missing, Sixth, the front bumper looks like it have been edited due to slight color inconsistencies. Seven, custom coaches has been acquired by ADL, though I am not sure if they still produce CB80 bodies. Lastly BIS states that it is a LF bus, but it is clearly a Iveco Metro "LE" bus.
Happy April Fools to those who believed it.

I don't think it a joke, SMRT is looking for 12m new bus tender the last time in news paper. looking closely to the picture i can see there is a sit with it back facing the window. the front look like wright front in SD version. humm given government link company there is a link with what army buy. MAN army truck, iveco armyTruck see. maybe go to tuas area to look see whether the bus is there at VMD or goldbell.
