Hello Friends,
Like we have dedicated thread for B9TLs and Citaros, I am creating one for E500 DDs from SMRT.
They are already in Singapore and will be in revenue service from June.
"Trust me" Man indicated that it will run North to South tomorrow...
this does not mean 190 for sure...
Seems more like service from Woodlands to City...
Could it be 963??
most likely 951E loh or 960...
Bus spotted by bus911 on AYE it seems, probably 963...

All Yishun services unlikely...

951E possible... 960 how??
Cannot do Bukit Timah road... same reason why 48/66 dont have DDs???

Off svc DDs I have seen a number of times can ply the stretch, i don't see why they dun want 48/66 with DDs... If its school and houses reason, I also dun see why 48/66 can't have DDs when 74/151/154 plying the Bt. Timah stretch having no problem with the privacy and other issues...

If school is the reason, they can deploy majority SD fleet but at least give few DDs, because majority part of 48/66 is not a student service unlike 74 which more is and still have 28-29 DDs.
What is the reason? During road closure, DDs can do that road... during diversion they can... off service they can... yet for reason of trees, SBST had replied earlier saying they cannot ply DDs on 48/66.
I hope they can rectify this because it will be a big advantage to have DDs on 960.
mostly like 950E which i think do not go to yishun interchange. the picture look like from CTE to city, the HDB flats is in whampo esate. 857 exit from cte at st andrew school. let see today if it or both doing 190. smrt might use them during peak hours only.
NOPE nothing in the city today...
Normallybus arrive will go for checks, certification road tests, road fam by SLs before trial run, then official press release...
North West svc
Aside from the possible services spectulated that the first few SMRT DDs will be doing, can someone guess the rego range of the new SMRT DDs?
SMB5xxx

There should be two separate ranges...one for replacements and another for BSEP.

I think it's on 963 training...hope it debut on 963/963E on day1

New type of bus new range ...
Continuation of existing for MAN/BENDY

I think so too... Probability of 963 getting is first is higher...
they won't put it on 190 yet considering 190 already has so many issues... Would not want to put training/initial dd bus on it.
All the svcs to HBF are the guinea pigs of SMRT...
963 was also the svc to debut the MCV...
